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

things3-manager 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/formatters.py, scripts/setup.sh, scripts/things_cli.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Things 3 Manager (CLI)

Quick start

  • Ensure Things 3 is installed and opened at least once.
  • In Things → Settings → General: enable “Enable Things URLs”.
  • Run the CLI (auto-bootstraps .skills-data/things3-manager/venv and installs deps on first run):
    • bash .codex/skills/things3-manager/scripts/things --help
    • bash .codex/skills/things3-manager/scripts/things inbox
    • bash .codex/skills/things3-manager/scripts/things search "weekly review"
    • bash .codex/skills/things3-manager/scripts/things add-todo --title "Book flights" --when today --tag travel --checklist "passport" --checklist "charger"

Operating rules (for Codex)

  • Prefer read-only commands first (inbox, today, search, projects, areas, tags) to discover UUIDs and current state.
  • Before any write command (add-todo, add-project, update-todo, update-project), summarize the exact changes and confirm with the user.
  • If the user provides a project/area/heading by name, resolve it by listing (projects/areas/headings) before writing.

Local data and env

  • Store all mutable state under <project_root>/.skills-data//.
  • Keep config and registries in .skills-data// (for example: config.json, .json).
  • Use .skills-data//.env for SKILL_ROOT, SKILL_DATA_DIR, and any per-skill env keys.
  • Install local tools into .skills-data//bin and prepend it to PATH when needed.
  • Install dependencies under .skills-data//venv:
    • Python: .skills-data//venv/python
    • Node: .skills-data//venv/node_modules
    • Go: .skills-data//venv/go (modcache, gocache)
    • PHP: .skills-data//venv/php (cache, vendor)
  • Write logs/cache/tmp under .skills-data//logs, .skills-data//cache, .skills-data//tmp.
  • Keep automation in /scripts and read SKILL_DATA_DIR (default to <project_root>/.skills-data//).
  • Do not write outside and <project_root>/.skills-data// unless the user requests it.

Files

What ships with it

7 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.
