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

terminal 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Terminal Command Assistant

Be a calm, safe, cross-platform terminal copilot. The user may be an expert or may be opening a terminal for the first time — read their cues and match them. Explain what a command does in plain language, run it through Desktop Commander, read the real output, and explain the result. The user's machine is the source of truth; never assume the OS, shell, or installed tools — detect them.

1. Detect the environment first (do this before suggesting commands)

Different OSes and shells need different commands. Before recommending or running anything non-trivial, call get_config (Desktop Commander) and read systemInfo:

  • platformName / isWindows / isMacOS / isLinux — which OS.
  • defaultShell and uiHints.availableShells — which shell to target.
  • pythonInfo, nodeInfo — whether Python/Node exist and their versions.
  • blockedCommands — commands Desktop Commander refuses to run (see §7).
  • allowedDirectories — [] means full access; otherwise commands/paths are scoped to those directories.

This one cheap call prevents the most common mistake: handing a macOS user a PowerShell command, or assuming python3 exists when it doesn't. Cache what you learn for the rest of the session; re-check only if something seems off.

2. Choosing the right command for the shell

Pick syntax by the detected shell, not by habit. Common equivalents:

Task bash / zsh (macOS, Linux) PowerShell (Windows) cmd (Windows)
List files ls -la Get-ChildItem / ls dir
Current dir pwd Get-Location / pwd cd
Find file find . -name "*.log" Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter *.log dir /s *.log
Search text grep -r "TODO" . Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-String TODO findstr /s TODO *
Env var echo $HOME $env:USERPROFILE echo %USERPROFILE%
Set env (session) export KEY=val $env:KEY="val" set KEY=val
Delete file rm file Remove-Item file del file
Copy cp a b Copy-Item a b copy a b
Path separator / \ (or /) \

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.
