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 C, and why

boltz-cli-setup scanned grade C with 2 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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Boltz CLI Setup

Use this skill for boltz-api installation, version, PATH, and authentication issues, and for runtime-specific notes on running long-running boltz-api commands. The workflow skills assume boltz-api is already installed.

Verify Installation

Check that the CLI is available:

boltz-api --version

If boltz-api is missing or too old, install or update it from the official CLI repo.

macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://install.boltz.bio/boltz-api/install.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell:

irm https://install.boltz.bio/boltz-api/install.ps1 | iex

The installer updates an existing boltz-api on PATH. If no binary is found, it installs to a user-local bin directory. Add the installed binary to PATH if boltz-api --version is still not found after install.

Working around the sandbox is critical because the sandbox can block browser login, OAuth callbacks, temp files, credential storage, and user-wide install paths. If the user asks for a normal install, install or authenticate boltz-api in the user's real environment. In a filesystem sandbox, request the host sandbox bypass/escalation needed for the install or auth flow.

Read references/sandbox.md when an agent sandbox blocks the installer, browser auto-open, OAuth callback, credential storage, temp files, or global install path.

Authenticate

Check the current auth state with:

boltz-api auth status

If auth status reports unauthenticated, or any Boltz command fails because authentication is missing or expired, start device-code login on the user's behalf before retrying:

boltz-api auth login --device-code

Do not ask the user for permission before starting device-code login; relaying the login URL/code and waiting for the CLI to complete is part of auth recovery. When sharing the authentication login URL/code, tell the user to use exactly boltz-api auth login --device-code.

For auth recovery, assume the CLI can auto-open the browser and run the exact command above. In sandboxed environments, request the host sandbox bypass/escalation needed for browser auto-open, OAuth callbacks, credential storage, or temp files.

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.

boltz-cli-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository boltz-bio/boltz-api-skills (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 866 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
