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

hud 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.

hud — Real-Time Task Status HUD

name

hud

description

任务实时状态 HUD(Head-Up Display):以飞行员 HUD 的方式,在每个任务执行节点实时推送状态更新。HUD 不打断工作流,而是以紧凑的可视化格式呈现进度、资源消耗、风险预警。与 progress-tracking(事后报告式)不同,hud 是主动推送式——持续显示当前状态,让用户始终知道"现在在哪"。

when to activate

用户说以下话时激活:

  • "hud"
  • "显示进度"
  • "实时状态"
  • "给我一个仪表盘"
  • "显示当前任务状态"
  • "autopilot"(自动与 autopilot 技能联动)
  • 当执行时间预计超过 5 分钟的任务时自动触发

protocol

HUD 布局规范

标准 HUD 格式(单行/双行):

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ⬡ [项目名]        ⏱ 12:34    ████████░░░░░░░░  58%   😐  │
│ [当前任务] ──▶ [下一步]                               │
│ ⚠ 风险: [如有]                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ANSI 彩色 HUD(CLI):

  ⬡ myproject   12:34   ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░  58%   ⏳ build:✓  test:▓▓
  → Writing index.ts ──▶ Running tests
  ⚠ slow query detected (>2s)

纯文本 HUD(无 ANSI):

[========----] 58% | myproject | 12:34 | BUILD:OK | TEST:RUN
-> Writing index.ts -> Running tests
[!] slow query detected (>2s)

HUD 数据源

HUD 自动读取以下数据:

数据字段 来源 更新频率
项目名 当前工作目录名 静态
耗时 计时器 每节点
进度条 已完成任务/总任务 每节点
当前节点 当前执行步骤名 每节点
下一步 队列中下一个任务 每节点
风险预警 执行过程中检测 实时
情绪指标 错误率/成功率 每节点

HUD 更新协议

更新触发点:

  1. 任务节点开始 → 显示节点名 + 开始时间
  2. 任务节点完成 → 更新进度 + 显示耗时
  3. 检测到风险 → 在 HUD 底部追加警告行
  4. 任务队列变化(添加/删除)→ 重绘进度条
  5. 每 30 秒(无其他事件)→ 发送心跳更新

风险等级与颜色:

  • 🟡 WARNING(黄):可能延迟,但不阻塞
  • 🟠 ALERT(橙):需要关注,可能影响进度
  • 🔴 CRITICAL(红):阻塞性问题,需要人工介入

超时规则:

  • 单节点预估时间超过 5 分钟时,显示 ⏳ 并预估剩余时间
  • 单节点实际时间超过预估 2 倍时,触发 ALERT
  • 连续 3 个节点超时,升级为 CRITICAL 并暂停,等待用户确认

HUD 格式化 API

提供以下 HUD 格式化函数(可在任何执行上下文中调用):

hud_start(project_name, total_steps):

┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ⬡ [project_name]    ⏱ 00:00           │
│ [====--------]   0/[total_steps]       │
│ → 初始化...                             │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘

hud_update(current_step, next_step, progress_pct, elapsed):

┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ⬡ [project_name]    ⏱ [elapsed]       │
│ [██████--------]   60%  [X/Y]          │
│ ✓ [完成步骤]                             │
│ → [当前步骤] ──▶ [下一步]               │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘

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.
