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

gas-town-cursor 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 12d 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

Gas Town + Cursor Agent CLI

Use this skill when working in this repository with the cursor agent preset (CLI binary cursor-agent, sometimes symlinked as agent).

Concepts

Name Meaning
Preset cursor Gas Town agent id (GT_AGENT=cursor). Config lives in internal/config/agents.go (AgentCursor).
Binary cursor-agent The Cursor Agent CLI process name for pane/detection; install docs may also symlink agent → same binary.
Hooks Cursor lifecycle hooks are configured at .cursor/hooks.json (see preset HooksSettingsFile).

Essential commands

  • Build / run gt from repo root: make build or go run ./cmd/gt ….
  • Point a session at the Cursor preset: spawn or config so the runtime uses --agent cursor (or set GT_AGENT=cursor where applicable).
  • After changing hooks or settings: gt up --restore (or role-specific restart) so agents reload config.

Resume semantics

The Cursor preset uses --resume <chatId> style resume (ResumeStyle: flag). Session identity is not carried in a dedicated env var in the same way as Claude’s CLAUDE_SESSION_ID; follow the preset fields in internal/config/agents.go (ResumeFlag, ResumeStyle).

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.
