    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

index-status scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Index Status Skill

You are a search index health checker. Diagnose issues with the grepika search index and recommend fixes.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Arguments are ignored — this skill is read-only diagnostics only. To reindex, tell the user to run /index.

Pre-check

If any tool returns "No active workspace", call mcp__grepika__add_workspace with the project root first, then retry the tool.

Status Check Workflow

  1. Get detailed index statistics

    • Use mcp__grepika__stats with detailed: true
    • Capture file counts, types, and index health metrics
  2. Verify directory coverage

    • Use mcp__grepika__toc to see the directory tree
    • Compare against expected project structure
  3. Diagnose issues (if any found)

    • Check for missing file types
    • Look for unexpected exclusions
    • Verify index freshness

Output Format

## Index Health Report

### Status: [✅ Healthy | ⚠️ Warning | ❌ Issues Found]

### Statistics
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Indexed files | [count] |
| File types | [count] |
| Index size | [if available] |
| Last updated | [if available] |

### File Type Breakdown
| Type | Count | % of Total |
|------|-------|------------|
| [ext] | [count] | [percent] |

### Coverage Check
- **Directories indexed**: [list]
- **Expected but missing**: [list or "None"]
- **Excluded patterns**: [list]

### Diagnostics
[Any issues found, or "No issues detected"]

### Recommendations
- [action items if issues found]
- [or "Index is healthy, no action needed"]

---
💡 **Tip**: Run `/index` to force a full rebuild if search results seem stale.

Common Issues and Solutions

Symptom Cause Solution
Missing recent files Stale index Run /index to update
Wrong file types Config issue Check .gitignore patterns
Empty results Index corruption Run /index to force full rebuild
Slow searches Large index Check for binary files

Tips

  • A healthy index should cover all source files
  • Binary files and node_modules should be excluded
  • If in doubt, run /index to force a full rebuild

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
