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 B, and why

bash-linux scanned grade B 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 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.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Bash Linux Patterns

Essential patterns for Bash on Linux/macOS.


1. Operator Syntax

Chaining Commands

Operator Meaning Example
; Run sequentially cmd1; cmd2
&& Run if previous succeeded npm install && npm run dev
|| Run if previous failed npm test || echo "Tests failed"
| Pipe output ls | grep ".js"

2. File Operations

Essential Commands

Task Command
List all ls -la
Find files find . -name "*.js" -type f
File content cat file.txt
First N lines head -n 20 file.txt
Last N lines tail -n 20 file.txt
Follow log tail -f log.txt
Search in files grep -r "pattern" --include="*.js"
File size du -sh *
Disk usage df -h

3. Process Management

Task Command
List processes ps aux
Find by name ps aux | grep node
Kill by PID kill -9 <PID>
Find port user lsof -i :3000
Kill port kill -9 $(lsof -t -i :3000)
Background npm run dev &
Jobs jobs -l
Bring to front fg %1

4. Text Processing

Core Tools

Tool Purpose Example
grep Search grep -rn "TODO" src/
sed Replace sed -i 's/old/new/g' file.txt
awk Extract columns awk '{print $1}' file.txt
cut Cut fields cut -d',' -f1 data.csv
sort Sort lines sort -u file.txt
uniq Unique lines sort file.txt | uniq -c
wc Count wc -l file.txt

5. Environment Variables

Task Command
View all env or printenv
View one echo $PATH
Set temporary export VAR="value"
Set in script VAR="value" command
Add to PATH export PATH="$PATH:/new/path"

6. Network

Task Command
Download curl -O https://example.com/file
API request curl -X GET https://api.example.com
POST JSON curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"value"}' URL
Check port nc -zv localhost 3000
Network info ifconfig or ip addr

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.
