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

file_operations 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Usage

Use this skill when you need to inspect or modify the codebase, configuration files, or generate output documents. These tools are strictly scoped to the workspace directories (data_in, data_out, etc.).

Tools

  • write_file(filename, content, workspace="default", subdir="data_out") - Write string content to a file in the workspace. Automatically creates missing directories.
  • read_file(filename, workspace="default", subdir="data_in", encoding=None) - Read the contents of a file. Includes automatic fallback encoding detection.
  • list_files(workspace="default", subdir="data_out") - List all files and their sizes within a workspace subdirectory.

Examples

Action: list_files Action Input: {"workspace": "c5_test", "subdir": "data_in"} Observation: Returns a list of files available in the test workspace.

Action: write_file Action Input: {"filename": "summary_report.md", "content": "# Summary\n...", "subdir": "data_out"} Observation: Returns a confirmation and a download URL.

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.
