flash

flash is a skill for Claude Code from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 23 tokens per session (4,247 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A local development and deployment tool for RunPod workloads. It runs code on remote GPUs or CPUs with hot reload and live logs, then deploys it to a managed endpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold a project, authenticate, develop with remote workers, view logs, update the CLI, and deploy the finished workload.
Why use it?
It shortens the loop between editing code locally and checking it on remote compute, while handling endpoint provisioning during deployment.

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

flash scanned grade B with 2 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 1mo 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

curl -s "$URL/main/predict" -d '{"data": {...}}' # dispatches to the remote worker

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 382 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runpod Flash

Write code locally, iterate with flash dev — it runs your functions on remote Runpod GPUs/CPUs with hot-reload and live worker logs — then flash deploy to ship. Endpoint handles provisioning.

Setup

# install the CLI — requires Python 3.10-3.13
uv tool install runpod-flash
pip install runpod-flash

# auth option 1: browser-based login (saves token locally)
flash login
# headless: print URL instead of opening a browser
flash login --no-open
# max seconds to wait for browser auth (default 600)
flash login --timeout 300

# auth option 2: API key via environment variable
export RUNPOD_API_KEY=your_key

# scaffold a new project in ./my-project (writes AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md)
flash init my-project
# scaffold in the current directory
flash init .
# overwrite existing files (-f)
flash init my-project --force
# update the CLI to the latest version
flash update
# pin a specific version (-V also works)
flash update --version 1.16.0

flash init writes AGENTS.md (+ a CLAUDE.md symlink). To add them to an existing project: python -c "from runpod_flash.rules import install_agent_files; from pathlib import Path; install_agent_files(Path.cwd())".

CLI

flash dev is the canonical dev-server command (flash run still works as a hidden alias).

# local server at :8888, but functions run on REMOTE GPU/CPU workers;
# hot-reloads on save and streams the worker's logs live to your terminal
flash dev
# same, but pre-provision endpoints (no cold start on first call)
flash dev --auto-provision
# custom port/host; --reload/--no-reload toggles autoreload
flash dev --port 9000 --host 0.0.0.0
# build + deploy (auto-selects env if only one)
flash deploy
# build + deploy to "staging" environment
flash deploy --env staging
# deploy a specific app to an environment
flash deploy --app my-app --env prod
# build + launch local preview in Docker
flash deploy --preview
# build flags below also apply to deploy
flash deploy --no-deps --python-version 3.11
# list deployment environments
flash env list
# create "staging" environment
flash env create staging
# show environment details + resources
flash env get staging
# delete environment + tear down resources
flash env delete staging
# list flash apps in your account
flash app list
# create a flash app
flash app create my-app
# show an app's environments + builds
flash app get my-app
# delete an app and all its resources
flash app delete my-app
# list all active endpoints
flash undeploy list
# remove a specific endpoint
flash undeploy my-endpoint
# remove all endpoints (--interactive/-i to pick, --force/-f to skip prompts)
flash undeploy --all
# remove endpoints whose code no longer exists locally
flash undeploy --cleanup-stale

# build-only (no deploy) — mainly for debugging the artifact; `flash deploy` builds for you
# package the artifact without deploying (1500MB limit; torch auto-excluded)
flash build
# build flags: --no-deps, --exclude pkg1,pkg2, --output name.tar.gz, --python-version 3.11
flash build --no-deps

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.

flash is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 4,247 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
