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

trove-pulse 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 58 executable files (scripts/briefing.py, scripts/last30days.py, scripts/lib/__init__.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.

trove-pulse

Vendored last-30-days research engine for global/English-language platforms. Synced weekly from mvanhorn/last30days-skill. For Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Zhihu, Douyin, WeChat, Baidu, and Toutiao, use /trove-research:trove-pulse-cn.

Prerequisites and preflight

No API keys and no pip install are required. Stdlib Python only.

  • Required: python3 ≥ 3.12. If the host has no 3.12, upstream's uv-managed 3.12 fallback applies when uv is on PATH.
  • Optional: node ≥ 22 (X/Twitter via the vendored bird-search client). Absent: X is skipped.
  • Optional: yt-dlp (YouTube transcripts/comments), digg-pp-cli (Digg). Preflight reports PATH visibility via shutil.which, not file existence. $HOME/.local/bin is a common miss on agent gateways.

Health check (does not read cookies):

python3 [skill-dir]/scripts/last30days.py doctor
python3 [skill-dir]/scripts/last30days.py --diagnose

Invocation

Canonical form:

python3 [skill-dir]/scripts/last30days.py "<topic>"

The skill-directory placeholder is rewritten per host. Claude keeps the environment-style variable. Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and Gemini receive [skill-dir] (or the host's equivalent). Resolve that placeholder to the directory that contains this SKILL.md, then run python3 <that-dir>/scripts/last30days.py "<topic>".

Network egress from the agent's Bash subprocess is required. Write is used for saved briefs.

Read the spec

Load references/runtime-spec.md before the first engine call. It is authoritative for flags, query planning, source coverage, and the output contract. Do not improvise a scraper.

Trove overrides

These sections of the vendored spec do not apply here. Everything else stands.

Files

What ships with it

60 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.
