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

help 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 2d 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.

hailux User Guide

hailux is a terminal AI coding assistant that supports streaming conversations, tool calls, Skills, custom commands, MCP server integration, and subagent delegation.

Command Line Interface

Command Description
hailux Launch the interactive TUI
hailux --path <dir> Set the working directory
hailux --rebuild-db Rebuild the database (clears all history), used when migration fails; the old database is backed up first
hailux --yolo YOLO mode: skip all permission confirmations (works in both TUI and non-interactive mode)
hailux run <message> Non-interactive mode: send a single message and print the reply (reads from stdin if the message is omitted)
hailux run --model <provider/model> Override the model specified in config
hailux run --no-tools Disable all tool calls (including MCP), pure chat mode

Permissions

By default, operations inside the working directory are allowed without confirmation:

  • bash commands, read/edit/write/grep/glob inside the working directory run freely
  • reading sensitive files such as .env / .env.local asks for confirmation (.env.example is allowed)
  • any operation touching content outside the working directory (e.g. cat ../secrets.txt, rm /tmp/x, editing a file outside the project) asks for confirmation
  • MCP tools always ask for confirmation

Override the defaults with rules in ~/.hailux/config.toml:

[permission.bash]
"rm *" = "deny"
"git push *" = "ask"

[permission.read]
"*.env" = "allow"   # 关闭 .env 读取确认

[permission.external_directory]
"C:\\Users\\me\\shared\\*" = "allow"

Choosing "always" in the permission dialog persists the rule for the current session; hailux --yolo skips all confirmations.

Slash Commands

Trigger them by starting with / in the input box. After typing /, a command completion list pops up automatically. Use ↑↓ to select, Tab or Enter to confirm:

Command Description
/sessions Open session selector, switch between historical sessions
/new Create a new session
/models Switch models or add a new provider
/skills View currently loaded skills
/mcp View MCP server connection status
/plan Toggle planning mode (read-only, write operations disabled)
/exit Exit the program (also /quit, /q)

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.
