In plain words
What is it for?
Voor het instellen van profielen zoals minimal, developer of cost-focused, het tonen of verbergen van afzonderlijke meetwaarden en het aanpassen van volgorde en waarschuwingsdrempels.

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 B, and why

customize scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Howl Customize

Advanced configuration for Howl statusline: choose a base preset, toggle individual metrics, and set display priority for Line 2.

Configuration Structure

{
  "preset": "developer",
  "features": {
    "quota": true
  },
  "priority": ["quota", "git"],
  "thresholds": {
    "context_danger": 90
  }
}
  • preset: Base configuration (full, minimal, developer, cost-focused)
  • features: Override specific metrics from the preset base (optional)
  • priority: Reorder Line 2 metrics by importance (optional, max 5)
  • thresholds: Override color/behavior breakpoints (optional, see /howl:threshold)

Process

Step 1: Choose Base Preset

Use AskUserQuestion to present preset choices:

  • Question: "Which base preset would you like to start with?"
  • Header: "Choose Base Preset"
  • Options (4):
    • Label: "full (default)"
      Description: "All 13 metrics - Complete visibility (2-4 lines)"
    • Label: "minimal"
      Description: "Model + Context + Cost + Duration only (1 line)"
    • Label: "developer"
      Description: "Coding focus: Account, Git, Changes, Cache, Vim (2 lines)"
    • Label: "cost-focused"
      Description: "Budget tracking: Quota, API Wait, Cost Velocity (2 lines)"

Store the user's selection as chosenPreset.

Step 2: Toggle Individual Metrics

Use AskUserQuestion with multiSelect to show metric toggles:

  • Question: "Select which metrics to display (pre-checked = enabled in your preset)"
  • Header: "Customize Metrics"
  • Options (17 checkboxes):
    1. account - Account email
    2. git - Git branch + status
    3. line_changes - Code additions/deletions
    4. quota - Usage quota visualization
    5. tools - Tool call counts
    6. agents - Active agent indicators
    7. cache_efficiency - Cache hit percentage
    8. api_wait_ratio - API wait time ratio
    9. cost_velocity - Cost per minute
    10. vim_mode - Vim mode indicator
    11. agent_name - Current agent name
    12. output_tokens - Current-response output token count (Out:1K) (default off)
    13. effort - Effort level indicator (E:high) (default off)
    14. thinking - Extended thinking indicator (Think) (default off)
    15. session_name - Truncated session name (default off)

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.
