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

claude-bionify 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 yesterday.

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.

claude-bionify control

Background knowledge for answering questions about the claude-bionify plugin, which bolds the leading part of each word in Claude's responses (cosmetic bionic reading). Use it to recommend the right command and the exact key a user needs.

When to use

Load this skill when the user wants to:

  • Change a setting (boldness, boundary, word length, acronyms, URLs, headings).
  • Turn the formatting on, off, or toggle it.
  • Check the current state or reset overrides.
  • Learn what /claude-bionify commands exist.

Settings

Each setting has a default in plugin.json and a short key used by the live /claude-bionify:set command. The set key is what you pass to the command, and it is shorter than the plugin.json field name.

Setting set key Default Values Meaning
Fixation strength fixation (alias strength) 0.5 0.1 to 0.9 Fraction of each word bolded; higher is bolder. Applies to the fraction boundary only.
Bold boundary boundary fraction fraction, syllable, log fraction uses the fixation strength; syllable bolds up to the first syllable; log grows logarithmically so long words are bolded less.
Minimum word length minlen 4 1 or greater Words shorter than this stay unbolded.
Skip acronyms acronyms true on, off Leave ALL-CAPS acronyms such as API or JSON unbolded.
Protect URLs, paths, files urls true on, off Do not bold inside URLs, emails, file paths, or filenames.
Skip headings headings true on, off Leave markdown headings (lines starting with #) unbolded.

Commands

All commands live under the /claude-bionify namespace.

Command Argument Action
/claude-bionify:status none Show the current settings and whether bionify is on.
/claude-bionify:on none Enable bionic formatting.
/claude-bionify:off none Disable bionic formatting.
/claude-bionify:toggle none Flip bionify on or off.
/claude-bionify:set <key> <value> Override one setting live. Keys: fixation (or strength), boundary, minlen, acronyms, urls, headings.
/claude-bionify:reset none Clear live overrides and restore the plugin.json defaults.

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.
