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

web-research 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 2 executable files (scripts/exa_answer.py, scripts/tavily_research.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.

What it actually says

Web Research

Synthesize cited research across multiple public sources through the configured provider selected by registry/deep-research-providers.yaml. For ambiguous web intent, apply workflows/web-capability-routing.md. Accept a research prompt plus portable source, domain, timeout, and output controls. Report the actual provider, citations, request ID when supplied, and any fallback.

  • Prefer Tavily for broad or long-form research synthesis.
  • Prefer Exa for concise, focused cited answers.
  • Do not silently substitute a user-requested provider.

Run

python3 <installed-arkspace-path>/scripts/arkspace.py research run --provider tavily "AI coding agents market" --output json

For setup or a failed provider check, use provider-manager.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
