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

configure-permissions 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 2mo 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.

Configure Permissions Wizard

Interactive wizard that configures Claude Code permission rules. The goal: reach near-skip-permissions convenience while keeping a safety net for destructive commands.

Overview

This skill asks 2 questions for most users (scope + preset), then writes the permissions config. Only the "Custom" preset goes deeper with additional questions.

Permissions are written to a Claude Code settings JSON file. The skill deep-merges — it only replaces the permissions key and preserves everything else (model, env, skipDangerousModePermissionPrompt, etc.).

Round 1: Scope + Preset (always asked)

Question 1 — Scope

Ask the user where permissions should be saved. Use AskUserQuestion with these options:

Option File Description
All my projects ~/.claude/settings.json These permissions apply everywhere, across every repo
This project, for everyone .claude/settings.json Saved in the repo so teammates get the same permissions when they clone it
This project, just me .claude/settings.local.json Only affects you on this machine, invisible to teammates

Question 2 — Preset

Ask the user which preset to use. Use AskUserQuestion with these options:

Option Description
Balanced Dev (Recommended) Common dev tools allowed, destructive commands prompt before running
Full Trust Everything allowed, destructive commands still prompt before running
Read Only Read + web only, everything else prompts
Custom Configure each category yourself (more questions follow)

If a preset is chosen (not Custom): skip straight to writing the file. No more questions. This is the fast path.

Rounds 2-4: Custom Preset Only

Only proceed with these rounds if the user picked "Custom" in Q2.

Round 2 — Core Permissions (3 questions)

Q3 - File operations (multiselect):

  • Read
  • Edit
  • Write
  • NotebookEdit

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.
