A deployment workflow for switching Spectre between a local checkout and the public marketplace, or publishing a versioned release.

Use it to activate local or public installs, or to prepare patch, minor, major, or explicitly numbered public releases.

It separates local testing from public publishing and checks synchronization, tests, and repository state before deployment.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00088	$0.05785
Opus 5.5	$0.00035	$0.02314
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.01157
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00579

Security

Grade A, and why

release 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 1mo 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.

Release

Internal Spectre deployment workflow. Keep local deployment and public release as explicit, separate modes.

Arguments

Supported invocations:

activate local
activate public
local
public patch
public minor
public major
public X.Y.Z

Treat $ARGUMENTS as one of these forms. local is the backward-compatible alias for activate local. activate public switches installed sources but does not publish; public <version> publishes a release. If the first argument is missing or invalid, ask which mode to run. Never infer or default to a public release.

Shared Preflight

Run git status --short and inspect relevant staged and unstaged diffs.

Run:

npm run sync-codex -- --quiet
npm run sync-codex -- --check --quiet
node .agents/skills/verify-spectre/scripts/verify.mjs

Stop and fix any sync, test, structure, Codex, or real-CLI failure before deploying.
Never stage unrelated files or use git add -A.

Persistent Local Source Activation

activate local, local, and Public Mode's pre-release deployment activate persistent user-level installs from this checkout. These commands are deployment actions, not a handoff for the user to finish.

Before changing anything, run all four inventory commands and retain their JSON for the final source report:

codex plugin marketplace list --json
codex plugin list --json
claude plugin marketplace list --json
claude plugin list --json

The local and public catalogs intentionally share marketplace name spectre and plugin identity spectre@spectre; they are alternatives, not side-by-side installs. Mutate only that exact marketplace and plugin. For Claude Code, mutate only user scope. Never remove a project/local-scope declaration; stop if one shadows the requested user source or leaves another enabled spectre@spectre install.

Codex

Inspect the spectre marketplace. If absent, add this checkout. If its source is not a local path whose real path is $PWD, remove the installed plugin if present, remove only the conflicting marketplace, and add this checkout:

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.
