passwordless-root-agent

passwordless-root-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from infinitule/apple-design-toolkit. It costs 71 tokens per session (785 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A setup for letting a macOS app repeatedly perform a fixed set of administrator-only system actions without asking for a password each time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run approved actions such as power-management checks, performance measurement, or cache purging through a root LaunchDaemon.
Why use it?
Apps that need privileged operations can otherwise interrupt users with repeated prompts or require less safe permission workarounds.

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

passwordless-root-agent scanned grade A 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 3d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Replace per-action sudo prompts with ONE install-time admin prompt. No visudo, no NOPASSWD, no SMJobBless complexity.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing 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.
