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-ship 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OPS ► SHIP — merge-all-PRs → release → update, in one command

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

The whole release chain in a single shot:

  1. Sweep — admin squash-merge every open, non-draft PR targeting the base branch (default main), overriding required checks/reviews (gh pr merge --admin). A failed merge aborts before the release — no partial ship.
  2. Release — delegates to bin/ops-release: bump plugin.json + marketplace.json registry + package.json + CHANGELOG, open the release PR, admin-merge to main, tag vX.Y.Z.
  3. Update — runs the installed ops-update to pull the new version onto this box (skip with --no-update).

ops-ship = sweep + /ops:ops-release + /ops:ops-update in one. For just the publish step use /ops:ops-release; for just the pull step use /ops:ops-update.

⚠️ It admin-merges EVERY open non-draft PR — review the sweep first

By design the sweep is aggressive: it admin-merges all open non-draft PRs on the base branch, bypassing required checks (red CI, missing reviews) — exactly what you want for a trusted solo/own-org repo, dangerous if an unrelated or half-baked PR is open. So always dry-run first and show which PRs it will merge before applying (Rule 5 — bulk merge + outward-facing release + tag is high-impact and hard to reverse). It only skips drafts.

⚠️ Run it from the REPO CHECKOUT, not the cache

Like ops-release, ops-ship resolves its targets relative to its own path and needs REPO_ROOT/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json, which the plugin cache lacks. Run the copy inside a git checkout of the repo:

SHIP=""
for d in ~/Developer/repos/claude-ops ~/Projects/claude-ops-workspace/claude-ops ~/Projects/claude-ops/claude-ops "$HOME"/Projects/*/claude-ops; do
  if [ -f "$d/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json" ] && [ -x "$d/claude-ops/bin/ops-ship" ]; then
    SHIP="$d/claude-ops/bin/ops-ship"; break
  fi
done
[ -n "$SHIP" ] || { echo "no claude-ops checkout with marketplace.json found"; exit 1; }

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.
