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 5.1 | $0.00129 | $0.06421 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00064 | $0.03210 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01284 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00642 |
Grade A, and why
quickshell 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 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 790 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
QuickShell
QuickShell is a QML-based framework for building custom desktop shells — bars, panels, popups, widgets — on Linux Wayland compositors. Configs are pure QML files; no build system required.
When to Use
- User wants to create or modify a QuickShell
shell.qmlconfig - User needs help with services, Hyprland, Wayland, MPRIS, notifications, system tray, PipeWire, or UPower
- User wants to spawn processes, parse output, do IPC, or persist state across reloads
- User asks about any type from the
Quickshell.*module namespace
When Not to Use
- User is building a standalone Qt application (not a shell/bar/widget)
- User is on X11 only with no Wayland layer shell support
- User is asking about a different shell framework (AGS, Waybar, eww, etc.)
Config Setup
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Entry point | ~/.config/quickshell/shell.qml (or named subfolder: ~/.config/quickshell/<name>/shell.qml) |
| Run default config | quickshell |
| Run named config | quickshell -c <name> |
| Run arbitrary file | quickshell -p /path/to/shell.qml |
| Reload running instance | quickshell --reload |
| LSP support | Create empty .qmlls.ini next to shell.qml; QuickShell auto-fills it |
| Set env vars in config | //@ pragma Env VAR=value at the top of shell.qml |
| Enable platform menus | //@ pragma UseQApplication at the top of shell.qml — required for QsMenuAnchor.open() (system tray context menus, right-click menus). Restart QuickShell after adding; --reload is not enough. |
Inputs
| Input | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Goal or existing QML snippet | Yes | What the user wants to build or fix |
| Compositor | No | Hyprland, generic Wayland, etc. — determines which modules to import |
| Target monitor | No | Single vs. multi-monitor affects whether to use Variants |

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.

quickshell is a skill published in the GitHub repository hicham-bouchikhi/quickshell-skills (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 129 tokens to every session and 6,421 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
