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 C, and why

cyrus-setup-slack scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 298 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CRITICAL: Never use Read, Edit, or Write tools on ~/.cyrus/.env or any file inside ~/.cyrus/. Use only Bash commands (grep, printf >>, etc.) to interact with env files — secrets must never be read into the conversation context. Never scrape, extract, or read secret values from web pages — guide the user to copy them manually.

Setup Slack

Creates a Slack application from a pre-built manifest so Cyrus can respond to messages in Slack channels.

Step 1: Check Existing Configuration

grep -E '^SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=' ~/.cyrus/.env 2>/dev/null

If SLACK_BOT_TOKEN is already set, inform the user:

Slack is already configured. Skipping this step. To reconfigure, remove SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET from ~/.cyrus/.env and re-run.

Skip to completion.

Step 2: Read Variables

Read the base URL (set by setup-endpoint):

grep '^CYRUS_BASE_URL=' ~/.cyrus/.env | cut -d= -f2-

You also need AGENT_NAME and AGENT_DESCRIPTION — these were collected in Step 0 of the orchestrator and should be available from the conversation context.

Step 3: Build Manifest JSON

Construct the manifest, substituting <AGENT_NAME>, <AGENT_DESCRIPTION>, and <CYRUS_BASE_URL> with actual values.

IMPORTANT: Use the manifest template EXACTLY as shown below. The event subscription path MUST be /slack-webhook (not /slack/events or any other path). This matches the route registered by SlackEventTransport in the Cyrus codebase.

NOTE: this list of scopes must be kept in sync with the Slack App configuration and the list of scopes defined at https://github.com/cyrusagents/cyrus-hosted/blob/main/apps/app/src/lib/slack/constants.ts. If you change scopes here, propose matching changes there and update any live Slack App configuration that relies on this manifest.

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.
