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

critty-cli 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.

Critty CLI Reference

Use /critty to run the interactive review loop and /critty-approval to prepare approval requests and act on their results. This reference owns command syntax, input and output formats, and local effects. Consult the sections needed for the current operation.

Local storage and command effects

Critty is a local CLI and human review TUI, not a hosted review service. Review data lives under $XDG_STATE_HOME/critty (default ~/.local/state/critty). A compatibility symlink keeps the old tcrit state path usable without moving data or active sockets. If the paths cannot be linked or contain independent directories, Critty continues using the existing legacy directory without merging or deleting either. Configuration uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/critty/config.json (default ~/.config/critty/config.json) and .critty.config.json in the project root. Each level reads its TCrit file only if the Critty file is absent: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tcrit/config.json globally, .tcrit.config.json for the project. Project settings override global settings; ignore patterns are unioned and prompt keys are merged across those two levels. Custom prompt files use .critty/prompts/ and the global critty/prompts/ directory, with the corresponding TCrit directories as lower-priority fallbacks at each level. critty install prompts writes only the Critty paths. Review processes communicate through local Unix sockets. The built-in review and comment commands do not upload review contents or publish repository changes.

Command Effects
comments, status Read local review state.
doctor (check alias) Compare installed integrations with embedded files and inspect local Python/MCP prerequisites and image forwarding settings, plus desktop launcher availability, Codex wrapper selection, and tfil detection for the current platform. --terminal-request ID consumes a prepared request to test terminal binding without opening a review. Desktop checks do not open windows or test automation permission. Runs bounded Python imports and an image capability probe on its foreground controlling TTY. Temporarily uses raw terminal input, then restores it; sends a transparent virtual placement, deletes it, and restores the cursor. Does not start a reviewer, contact a model or package registry, or change stored settings.
terminal prepare Remove expired local marker requests, save a random marker with a two-minute expiry, and print its JSON. No review content is read and no external service is contacted.
terminal notify Record a local terminal destination supplied by the terminal filter.
review, plan, --session Read the selected input, save local review state, and open the human TUI, using tmux or Herdr when applicable. Terminal-marker resolution can read visible text in registered panes.
comment Add or update comments in local review state; it does not post a GitHub or GitLab comment.
stop, clear stop closes the review TUI and preserves saved state. clear deletes the selected saved review and attachments.
install Write integration files to the selected project or user configuration directories.
env, env tty Inspect local terminal/process information and print the requested environment or device.
env run, env -- Execute the supplied command with the detected terminal environment. Assess that command's own effects; the wrapper does not make it read-only or local-only.

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.
