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

csv-tools 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 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.

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

CSV Tools

Work with CSV files using standard shell tools.

View

  • First few rows: head -5 data.csv
  • Column headers: head -1 data.csv
  • Row count: wc -l data.csv
  • Specific columns (1st and 3rd): cut -d',' -f1,3 data.csv

Filter and sort

  • Filter rows: awk -F',' '$3 > 100' data.csv
  • Sort by column: sort -t',' -k2 -n data.csv
  • Unique values in column: cut -d',' -f2 data.csv | sort -u
  • Count by value: cut -d',' -f2 data.csv | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

Transform

  • Remove header: tail -n +2 data.csv
  • Add line numbers: nl -ba data.csv
  • Replace delimiter: sed 's/,/\t/g' data.csv (CSV to TSV)

Python (for complex operations)

python3 -c "
import csv, sys
reader = csv.DictReader(open('data.csv'))
for row in reader:
    print(row)
" | head -10
Files

What ships with it

3 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.
