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

provider-manager 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/arkspace_provider.py, scripts/arkspace_runtime/__init__.py, scripts/arkspace_runtime/exa_client.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Provider Manager

Manage provider configuration as a guided runtime setup, not as manual file editing.

Use this when a skill reports missing provider configuration, the user wants to set a self-hosted service URL, or a provider needs one or more API keys. Public package files only declare provider capabilities. Personal endpoints and key references live in user config.

Configuration Rule

Do not ask the user to find and edit config files by hand. Help them run the setup command.

Provider config defaults to:

~/.config/ark-space/providers.json

Provider state defaults to:

~/.local/state/ark-space/provider-state.json

Provider secrets default to:

~/.config/ark-space/secrets.json

Override paths with ARKSPACE_PROVIDER_CONFIG, ARKSPACE_PROVIDER_STATE, ARKSPACE_PROVIDER_SECRETS, --config-path, or --state-path.

Common Commands

Resolve the installed ArkSpace package root before running commands. Replace <installed-arkspace-path> with the directory two levels above the loaded ArkSpace SKILL.md, such as /Users/<user>/.claude/plugins/cache/ark-space/ark-space/0.2.0. Use the installed package path, not a repository-relative command, in installed host sessions.

Show paths:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider paths

Configure a self-hosted SearXNG endpoint:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider configure searxng --base-url "https://searx.example.org"

Configure API-backed skills with ArkSpace defaults:

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup tavily --wizard --key-count 2
python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider check tavily --capability web_search
python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py provider setup exa --wizard --key-count 2

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.
