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 B, and why

apply-spinner scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

apply-spinner

Apply or restore custom spinner verbs to Claude Code settings.

Usage

/my-friends-claude:apply-spinner          # 커스텀 스피너 적용
/my-friends-claude:apply-spinner restore  # 원본 스피너로 복원

Instructions

When this skill is invoked:

Apply (기본 동작, 인자 없음 또는 apply)

  1. Read config/config.json from the plugin directory and extract spinnerVerbs.verbs array
  2. Check if spinnerVerbs.enabled is true
  3. Read the user's ~/.claude/settings.json (create if not exists)
  4. If spinnerVerbs key already exists in settings.json, back it up by saving the current value as _spinnerVerbs_backup in the same file
  5. Set spinnerVerbs in ~/.claude/settings.json to an object with mode and verbs keys
  6. Confirm: "스피너 동사가 커스터마이즈되었습니다! Claude Code를 재시작하면 적용됩니다."
  7. Show a few example verbs from the applied list

Restore (인자가 restore 또는 원복)

  1. Read ~/.claude/settings.json
  2. If _spinnerVerbs_backup exists, restore spinnerVerbs to that value and remove _spinnerVerbs_backup
  3. If no backup exists, remove the spinnerVerbs key entirely (reverts to Claude Code defaults)
  4. Confirm: "스피너 동사가 원본으로 복원되었습니다! Claude Code를 재시작하면 적용됩니다."

Important Notes

  • The spinnerVerbs setting in ~/.claude/settings.json accepts an object with mode and verbs keys
  • Format: "spinnerVerbs": {"mode": "replace", "verbs": ["verb1", "verb2", ...]}
  • mode can be "replace" (기본값 대체) or "append" (기본값에 추가)
  • Changes require a Claude Code restart to take effect
  • The _original_mapping field in config.json is documentation only — do NOT write it to settings.json
  • Only write the verbs array values to settings.json
  • 자동 적용/원복: 세션 시작 시 자동 적용, 세션 종료 시 자동 원복됩니다. 이 스킬은 수동으로 즉시 적용/원복할 때 사용하세요.
  • 자동 적용/원복은 scripts/spinner-manage.sh가 처리하며, session-start.shstop.sh Hook에서 호출됩니다.

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.
