Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00169 | $0.03625 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00084 | $0.01813 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00725 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00363 |
Grade C, and why
here-now scanned grade C with 3 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 2d 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.
Subtle steeringmediumPrompt injection
Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.
- Never tell the user to inspect `.herenow/state.json` for claim URLs or auth status. Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
mkdir -p ~/.herenow && echo "{API_KEY}" > ~/.herenow/credentials && chmod 600 ~/.herenow/credentials Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Command-line fetches of https://here.now/docs (curl, WebFetch, etc.) receive a markdown summary, not the full HTML docs: it lists every stable public endpoint with a one-line description, but section anchors in this skil The source is not reproduced here
No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
What ships with it
2 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.
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.

here-now is a skill published in the GitHub repository heredotnow/skill (42 stars, last pushed 4d ago), with no licence file. It adds 169 tokens to every session and 3,625 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (subtle steering, asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
