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

c-clipboard 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 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.

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.

pbcopy < /path/to/file.txt

# Save clipboard to file
pbpaste > /path/to/output.txt

# Transform clipboard content
pbpaste | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' | pbcopy    # uppercase
pbpaste | sort | pbcopy                            # sort lines
pbpaste | wc -w                                    # word count

# Copy with no trailing newline
printf "%s" "exact text" | pbcopy

Linux Equivalents

# If on Linux, use xclip or xsel
xclip -selection clipboard           # copy (pipe into)
xclip -selection clipboard -o        # paste

Guidelines

  • When the user says "copy this" or "put this in my clipboard", use pbcopy
  • When the user says "what's in my clipboard?" or "paste", use pbpaste
  • For transformations, pipe pbpaste through the transform and back to pbcopy
  • Always confirm what was copied with a brief summary
  • Never display clipboard contents unless asked — they may contain sensitive data

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.
