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

vibe-help 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 6d 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.

How to Route

Ask the user what they're trying to do, then recommend skills based on their answer:

"I'm about to build something new"

→ Start with: vibe-research-before-design, then vibe-production-mindset → During: vibe-quality-loop, vibe-scope-guard → After: vibe-reflect-and-compound, vibe-iteration-review

"I need to fix bugs / issues"

→ If 1-3 bugs: vibe-debugging-journal (after fixing) → If 10+ bugs: vibe-wave-based-remediation → Always: vibe-adversarial-test-generation (prevent recurrence)

"I'm reviewing code or docs"

→ Code review: vibe-devil-advocate-review → Spec review: vibe-spec-vs-code-audit, vibe-doc-quality-gate → Requirements: vibe-requirements-validator

"I need to test something"

→ Test planning: vibe-scenario-matrix → Coverage: vibe-coverage-enforcer → Edge cases: vibe-adversarial-test-generation → Parsers: vibe-fuzz-parser-inputs → Snapshots: vibe-golden-file-testing → Concurrent code: vibe-concurrent-test-safety

"I'm deploying or shipping"

→ Pre-deploy: vibe-safe-deploy, vibe-pre-commit-audit → Risky change: vibe-rollback-plan → Health check: vibe-service-health-dashboard

"I have a lot of parallel work"

→ Decompose: vibe-parallel-task-decomposition → Integrate: vibe-cherry-pick-integration → Async: vibe-async-task-queue

"I need to make a decision"

→ Before: vibe-research-before-design → Record: vibe-decision-journal → Challenge: vibe-devil-advocate-review

"I want to learn from what just happened"

→ General: vibe-reflect-and-compound → Bug-specific: vibe-debugging-journal → Pattern: vibe-pattern-library → Handover: vibe-handover-doc

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.
