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

kimi-challenge 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 7d 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

Kimi Challenge

Forward this request to the local kimi-code companion runtime by shell. Do not use MCP for this skill.

Invocation

  • Resolve the plugin root: prefer $PLUGIN_ROOT if the host sets it; otherwise use the directory that CONTAINS the skills/ directory (i.e. two levels up from this SKILL.md).
  • Sanity check: <plugin-root>/scripts/companion.sh must exist — it is the bundled entrypoint that resolves Node and runs the compiled runtime from <plugin-root>/dist/.
  • Launch the shell command from the user's current workspace directory so scripts/companion.sh captures the intended workspace cwd.
  • Run: PLUGIN_ROOT="<plugin-root>" "<plugin-root>/scripts/companion.sh" task challenge <args>
  • If the plugin host provides PLUGIN_DATA instead of CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA, the shell wrapper exports the Claude-compatible alias for the runtime. If neither is set, the wrapper uses a Codex data directory under $CODEX_HOME/plugins/data/kimi-marketplace-kimi, ~/.codex/plugins/data/kimi-marketplace-kimi, or /tmp/kimi-plugin-cc-codex-data/kimi-marketplace-kimi in a fully sanitized environment.

Arguments

Pass through: [--base <ref>] [-m <model>] [extra prose]

Handling

  • Preserve the user's adversarial framing as trailing focus text.
  • Do not pass background/wait flags; the runtime rejects them for challenge.
  • If the companion reports CHALLENGE_HOOK_NOT_INSTALLED, tell the user to run Claude Code /kimi:setup or Codex $kimi-setup, then retry; do not suggest the skip env.
  • Return companion stdout verbatim without softening the challenge framing.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
