nix

nix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alyraffauf/hoenn. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,541 once invoked), scanned D, original, GPL-3.0.

A Nix-based setup for installing system packages, adding tools, creating development environments, and providing missing command-line programs. Nix is a package manager that can supply a repeatable runtime for a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install tools, enter a Nix development shell, set up a project runtime, or fix missing binaries when Nix is available.
Why use it?
It helps avoid manually choosing between system package managers such as apt, dnf, or Homebrew. It also separates system tools from project dependencies installed by npm, pip, or Cargo.

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 D, and why

nix scanned grade D with 3 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 8d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Changes

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.
