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

setup-skillferry 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.

setup-skillferry

Set up and keep a portable agent workspace healthy with skillferry: one versioned, Git-friendly definition of skills, global rules, and MCP connection templates that renders into Codex, Claude Code, and DeepSeek Harness (DSH) — without ever copying secrets or runtime state.

When to use

  • Installing skillferry on a new machine or after a reinstall.
  • Adding a new agent (target) to an existing workspace.
  • Diagnosing skillferry doctor exit codes 1/2/3.
  • Deciding whether an asset belongs in the workspace or stays machine-local.

Workflow

  1. Install: pipx install skillferry (or python -m pip install skillferry). Confirm with skillferry --version.
  2. Create or fetch a workspace: skillferry init my-workspace, or clone the private Git repository that holds your workspace definition.
  3. Preview: skillferry plan in the workspace root. Read the portability grade for every asset — native, translated, degraded, manual, unsupported — and resolve every conflict before applying.
  4. Apply: skillferry apply. The tool backs up every changed file (recoverable under the local state directory) and writes only files it owns, tracked in a per-path hash ledger.
  5. Verify: skillferry doctor must exit 0. Exit 2 means safe drift (apply), exit 3 means a human decision (read the conflict reasons).
  6. Check in: commit workspace changes to Git; pull on other machines and re-run apply.

Rules of thumb

  • Anything a machine owns (auth, sessions, caches, sqlite state, absolute machine paths) never belongs in the workspace. [protect] exists to make that refusal explicit.
  • Secrets are references, not values: MCP env entries are secret:env/NAME or secret:file/PATH. Each machine supplies the real values locally; the shareable export (skillferry export <destination>) never expands them.
  • The workspace is target-neutral. Use overlays/platform/*.toml for OS differences and overlays/target/*.toml for agent differences — never fork the workspace per agent.

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.
