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

release-app 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 5d 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Consult User MCP

Two platforms, two procedures. They share docs/src/lib/data/releases.json as the single source of truth.

Never run gh release create without attaching assets. A release with no assets breaks the auto-updater for everyone already on the previous version.

macOS

Runs entirely on this machine.

  1. Update macos-app/VERSION.
  2. If macos-app/Sources/Resources/base-prompt.md changed, bump its version comment (first line). See .claude/rules/baseprompt.md.
  3. Add the release entry to docs/src/lib/data/releases.json. Write user-facing benefits, not commit messages — see .claude/rules/release-notes.md.
  4. bun run changelog — regenerates CHANGELOG.md. Never hand-edit it.
  5. bash scripts/validate-baseprompt-version.sh.
  6. Commit everything.
  7. bash scripts/release.sh --platform macos — builds, packages, tags, creates the GitHub release.

--dry-run validates preconditions without executing. Use it first when anything about the state is uncertain.

Two assets, both required

A macOS release ships a .dmg and a .zip, and neither is optional:

Asset Consumed by
Consult.User.MCP.dmg a human downloading from the releases page — drag to /Applications
Consult.User.MCP.app.zip install.sh and the in-app updater, both of which pick the first .zip asset

make-dmg.sh builds and signs the dmg; dropping the zip breaks the auto-updater for everyone already installed.

The zip must contain no AppleDouble members. ditto -c -k encodes any extended attribute as a ._name entry, and update.sh extracting that adds an unsealed file to the bundle — the updated app then fails codesign --verify and will not launch. build-app.sh runs xattr -cr before signing and release.sh fails the release if any ._ entry survives. Both guards exist because one xattr, set just by having run the app, shipped a bricked updater in 2.6.5.

bash scripts/check-changelog-sources.sh confirms the change list the update prompt shows is actually fetchable. It needs at least one of the two sources in AppURLs.releasesJSONSources — the Pages copy comes from the docs deploy, so it lags a fresh release by a few minutes and the raw GitHub fallback covers the gap.

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.
