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 C, and why

huggingface-hub scanned grade C 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kheish Compatibility

This skill is repo-local and stays inactive until explicitly activated.

When the original instructions refer to legacy tool names, use these Kheish mappings:

  • terminal => bash
  • web_extract => web_fetch, plus web_search when discovery is needed
  • search_files => grep_search and glob_search
  • browser_* tools require a browser-capable surfaced tool or MCP; if none is available, use the closest available surface and say so explicitly

When the instructions mention local helper files, resolve them from ${KHEISH_SKILL_DIR}.

Hugging Face CLI (hf) Reference Guide

The hf command is the modern command-line interface for interacting with the Hugging Face Hub, providing tools to manage repositories, models, datasets, and Spaces.

IMPORTANT: The hf command replaces the now deprecated huggingface-cli command.

Quick Start

  • Installation: curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh | bash -s
  • Help: Use hf --help to view all available functions and real-world examples.
  • Authentication: Recommended via HF_TOKEN environment variable or the --token flag.

Core Commands

General Operations

  • hf download REPO_ID: Download files from the Hub.
  • hf upload REPO_ID: Upload files/folders (recommended for single-commit).
  • hf upload-large-folder REPO_ID LOCAL_PATH: Recommended for resumable uploads of large directories.
  • hf sync: Sync files between a local directory and a bucket.
  • hf env / hf version: View environment and version details.

Authentication (hf auth)

  • login / logout: Manage sessions using tokens from huggingface.co/settings/tokens.
  • list / switch: Manage and toggle between multiple stored access tokens.
  • whoami: Identify the currently logged-in account.

Repository Management (hf repos)

  • create / delete: Create or permanently remove repositories.
  • duplicate: Clone a model, dataset, or Space to a new ID.
  • move: Transfer a repository between namespaces.
  • branch / tag: Manage Git-like references.
  • delete-files: Remove specific files using patterns.

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.
