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

personetta-set-active 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.

What it actually says

Personetta — set active persona

Goal

Run personetta set-active <recipe-id> for the global target (user home). Personetta auto-detects the host agent, so inside Claude Code this targets the Claude persona automatically.

Running the CLI (no repository required)

Personetta runs from its installed CLI; you do not need a checkout of the repo. Use the first invocation that works:

  1. personetta <args> — the installed console script.
  2. python -m generator <args> — module fallback when personetta is not on PATH but the package is installed.

If neither works, run personetta verify (or python -m generator verify) to diagnose the install.

Command

personetta set-active <RECIPE_ID>
  • The format is auto-detected from the host agent. To override (or when detection is unavailable), append --format <cursor|claude|copilot|cline>.
  • Omit --target for the global install root (user home).

Errors

  • Cache missing / FileNotFoundError: run personetta install '*' --format claude, then retry.
  • Could not detect the host agent: pass --format claude explicitly.
  • personetta: command not found: use the python -m generator fallback, or run personetta verify to repair PATH.

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.
