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

chisle-help 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Chisle — quick reference

What it is: maximum-efficiency dev mode. Zero-fluff prose + YAGNI-first code, always on together.

Commands

Command Effect
/chisle Activate
/chisle-audit [path] Audit a diff/file/repo for both code bloat AND prose verbosity
/chisle-review Review the current diff for over-engineering
stop chisle / normal mode Deactivate

Natural language works: "activate chisle", "chisle mode", "chislify this".

The code ladder

YAGNI → reuse → stdlib → native → installed dep → one line → minimum code.

Statusline

Never minimal about

Input validation, error handling that prevents data loss, security, accessibility, anything you explicitly asked for.

Changes

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.
