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

poke-assistant 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/send_message.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.

Poke Assistant

Overview

Send messages to your Poke assistant via the inbound webhook API. Poke is a conversational AI assistant that supports iMessage, SMS, and WhatsApp messaging. This skill enables Claude to send you notifications, alerts, and updates directly to your Poke.

When to Use

  • Notifying the user when a long-running task completes
  • Sending error alerts or warnings that need attention
  • Providing status updates on build, test, or deployment progress
  • Sending reminders or summaries
  • Alerting about important events (CI failures, security issues, etc.)

Prerequisites

  • Poke account at poke.com
  • POKE_API_KEY environment variable

Installation

Getting Your API Key

  1. Go to poke.com/settings
  2. Navigate to the Advanced section
  3. Generate or copy your API key
  4. Add to your shell profile:
echo 'export POKE_API_KEY="your-api-key"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Quick Start

Send a simple message:

python scripts/send_message.py -m "Hello from Claude Code!"

Pipe content to Poke:

echo "Build completed successfully" | python scripts/send_message.py

Command Reference

python scripts/send_message.py [options]

Options:
  -m, --message TEXT    Message to send to Poke
  -v, --verbose         Show detailed output
  -h, --help            Show help message

Input:
  Message can be provided via -m flag or piped to stdin.
  If both are provided, -m takes precedence.

Exit codes:
  0  Success
  1  Missing message or API key
  2  API error (authentication, rate limit, etc.)
  3  Network error

Examples

Task Completion Alert

python scripts/send_message.py -m "Build completed: 42 tests passed, 0 failed"

Error Notification

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.
