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 B, and why

cmux-settings 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 10d 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.

Subtle steeringmediumPrompt injection

Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.

- Never tell the user to restart cmux to apply a change. The file watcher reloads on save.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cmux-settings

cmux reads user settings from ~/.config/cmux/cmux.json (JSONC). The app installs a file watcher; saving the file applies changes immediately, no restart needed. Legacy ~/.config/cmux/settings.json is read only as a fallback for keys not present in cmux.json.

Schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/main/web/data/cmux.schema.json. The authoritative path list lives in Sources/CmuxSettingsJSONPathSupport.swift in the cmux checkout, and the installed skill includes a generated copy in references/all-keys.md. Top-level sections are app, terminal, notifications, sidebar, sidebarAppearance, workspaceColors, automation, browser, and shortcuts. Non-settings sections (actions, ui, commands, vault, rightSidebar) coexist in the same file.

Helper script

Use the bundled helper for every read/write. It strips JSONC comments, writes atomically, and validates keys against the schema.

# From a cmux checkout
skills/cmux-settings/scripts/cmux-settings <subcommand>

# From an installed Codex skill
~/.codex/skills/cmux-settings/scripts/cmux-settings <subcommand>

For brevity in the rest of this doc, assume the script is on $PATH as cmux-settings. To make it so for a session from a checkout: export PATH="$PWD/skills/cmux-settings/scripts:$PATH".

Subcommands:

Command What it does
cmux-settings path Print the config path.
cmux-settings dump Print the raw file (preserves comments).
cmux-settings dump --no-comments Print the parsed JSON.
cmux-settings get <a.b.c> Print value at dotted JSON path.
cmux-settings set <a.b.c> <value> Set value. <value> is parsed as JSON (true, 42, "text", […], {…}); plain strings without quotes are stored as strings.
cmux-settings unset <a.b.c> Delete key, reverting to the in-app default.
cmux-settings list-supported List every settings JSON path the app recognizes.
cmux-settings validate Parse the file and flag any unknown settings keys.
cmux-settings open Open cmux.json in $EDITOR, VS Code, Cursor, or TextEdit.

What ships with it

4 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.

Changes

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.
