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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00045 $0.01002
Opus 5.5 $0.00018 $0.00401

Security

Grade A, and why

create-release 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 2mo 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.

Create Release

Create a new GitHub release for ClaudeBar. Publishing the release triggers the CI pipeline that signs, notarizes, and ships the DMG plus the Homebrew cask.

Steps

  1. Pull latest: but pull
  2. Confirm nothing is unmerged into main — this list of open PRs should be empty:
    gh pr list --repo gordonbeeming/claude-bar --state open
    
  3. Determine the next version by checking existing releases:
    gh release list --repo gordonbeeming/claude-bar --limit 5
    
  4. Bump the minor version (e.g. v0.2 → v0.3). Never use a patch number in the tag.
  5. Create the release:
gh release create v{major}.{minor} \
  --repo gordonbeeming/claude-bar \
  --target main \
  --title "ClaudeBar v{major}.{minor} — {short description}" \
  --fail-on-no-commits \
  --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
# ClaudeBar v{major}.{minor} — {short description}

## What's New

- {list changes since last release using git log}

## Install

```bash
brew upgrade --cask gordonbeeming/tap/claude-bar
```

Or download the DMG from the assets below.
EOF
)"

Publish it (no --draft) — the pipeline runs on release: published. 6. The release pipeline (.github/workflows/build.yml) automatically:

  • Build + test
  • Sign with Developer ID
  • Notarize + staple with Apple
  • Create + sign the DMG
  • Upload the DMG asset to the release
  • Update the Homebrew tap cask (GordonBeeming/homebrew-tap/Casks/claude-bar.rb)
  1. Watch it finish, then report the release URL + run: gh run watch --repo gordonbeeming/claude-bar

Version Format

  • Tags: v{major}.{minor} (e.g. v0.3) — NO patch number, and always include the v prefix: the release DMG asset name and the Homebrew cask URL both assume it. The workflow guard only checks that the tag matches major.minor after stripping a leading v, if any — it won't catch a missing v prefix on its own.
  • CI sets CFBundleShortVersionString to {major}.{minor} and CFBundleVersion to {major}.{minor}.{runNumber} — a single combined dotted string (make bundle sets CFBundleVersion to $(VERSION).$(BUILD)).
  • The tag v0.3 with run number 45 sets CFBundleShortVersionString=0.3 and CFBundleVersion=0.3.45.

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.
