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

archive_manager 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

archive_manager

Archive create / extract / inspect.

Operations

  • archive.zip(paths, out) / archive.unzip(path, out_dir).
  • archive.tar(paths, out, compress=gz|zst|xz) / archive.untar(path, out_dir).
  • archive.inspect(path) — list entries with sizes, mtimes, hashes.
  • archive.skill_pack(skill_dir) — produces .skill (ZIP) with checksum sidecar.
  • archive.skill_unpack(path, dest).

I/O Contract

io_contract:
  input: { op, path_or_paths, "out?" }
  output: { path_or_entries }
  idempotent: for_same_inputs
  side_effects: [fs]

Safety

  • Extraction refuses entries escaping the target directory (path-traversal defense).
  • Maximum entry count and size enforced.
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.
