A guide to ripgrep, a command-line tool for searching text across folders using words or regular expressions. It respects files that Git is configured to ignore.

Use it to search a codebase, restrict results by file type or pattern, count matching files, preview replacements, and inspect recursive matches.

It makes it easier to find relevant code or text without manually opening files or searching unwanted directories.

Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00133	$0.03849
Opus 5.5	$0.00053	$0.01540
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00027	$0.00770
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00385

Security

Grade B, and why

ripgrep scanned grade B 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 2mo 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
