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

mac-brightness 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (mac_brightness.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

The script calls the `brightness` CLI tool via `subprocess.run(["brightness", level])`. If the tool is not installed, it prints an error prompting `brew install brightness`.

What it actually says

mac-brightness — Screen Brightness Control

Adjusts Mac screen brightness using the brightness CLI tool (installed via Homebrew).

Prerequisites

brew install brightness

Usage

# Set brightness to 50%
python3 mac_brightness.py 0.5

# Set brightness to max
python3 mac_brightness.py 1.0

# Set brightness to minimum (not off)
python3 mac_brightness.py 0.1

The level argument accepts a float between 0 (off) and 1 (full brightness).

How it works

The script calls the brightness CLI tool via subprocess.run(["brightness", level]). If the tool is not installed, it prints an error prompting brew install brightness.

Error handling

  • Missing tool: prints ❌ 请先安装: brew install brightness — install with brew install brightness
  • Out of range: values outside 0–1 are rejected with a message
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
