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

ops-rules 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 322 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ops:ops-rules

Standing rules for every ops skill. They override conflicting instructions in individual SKILL.md files.

Load this skill before acting on any /ops:* command. Details: references/cli.md (gog syntax), references/internals.md (deploy-fix fleet, credit-pool gate). Hermes primitive map: hermes-plugin/RUNTIME.md.

Rule 0 — PUBLIC REPO: No personal data ever

This is a public open-source plugin. Every file in this repo is visible to anyone on the internet.

NEVER commit:

  • Real names, emails, phone numbers, or usernames (use "owner", "[email protected]", "+1234567890")
  • Real store URLs, project names, or org names (use "yourstore.myshopify.com", "my-project")
  • API keys, tokens, secrets, session strings, or chat IDs (use <YOUR_TOKEN>, $ENV_VAR)
  • Real GitHub org names or repo slugs in examples (use "your-org/your-repo")
  • Hardcoded paths like /Users/username/... (use ~ or $HOME)

All user-specific data belongs in:

  • $PREFS_PATH (preferences.json in plugin data dir — never committed)
  • scripts/registry.json (gitignored)
  • $HOME/.config/claude-ops/ for anything machine-scoped (e.g. the PII denylist)
  • Environment variables or a secrets manager

Never write preferences into the repo tree. A skill or script that writes preferences.json, registry.json, or any prefs-shaped file next to its own source will commit the operator's identity on the next git add -A. Resolve the path from $PREFS_PATH or $HOME, never from $PLUGIN_ROOT/$REPO_ROOT.

This is enforced, not merely documented. tests/test-no-secrets.sh fails the build when a prefs-shaped file is tracked in the git index (.gitignore does not help once a file is already tracked, and git add -f bypasses it), and when a write target resolves into the repo tree. Run it before every commit.

Enable the operator identity denylist. The scanner cannot hardcode your own names, brands, or hostnames — that list would itself be the leak. Put one term per line in $HOME/.config/claude-ops/pii-denylist.txt (or .pii-denylist, gitignored) and the scanner will fail the build if any of them reach the repo. Until you configure it, that check passes while verifying nothing.

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.
