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

release-clisbot 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 2d 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Clisbot

Use this skill from the current clisbot checkout. Do not assume or record a machine-specific absolute path; verify the repo root by finding package.json with package name clisbot and the repo AGENTS.md.

Hard Rules

  • Run npm login and npm publish --access public in an attached session.
  • If npm returns a browser approval URL, send that exact URL to the operator and continue the same attached session after approval.
  • Never use npm publish --otp, npm login --otp, or any OTP fallback.
  • If npm returns EOTP or demands OTP instead of browser approval, stop and ask; do not invent a manual OTP path.
  • Do not publish until version, docs, release notes, migration decision, gates, and package dry-run are aligned.
  • If any release path, version, tag, or migration requirement is unclear, ask before publishing.
  • Do not include local machine paths in release notes, GitHub Releases, or skill reports unless the operator explicitly asks for a local filesystem path.

Preflight

  1. Start from the current checkout root, not a hard-coded path:

    test "$(node -p "require('./package.json').name")" = "clisbot"
    
  2. Read AGENTS.md and docs/development/README.md.

  3. Inspect git status --short, package.json, CHANGELOG.md, docs/releases/README.md, docs/releases/upcoming.md, docs/migrations/index.md, and the latest docs/updates/releases/*-release-guide.md.

  4. Decide the release lane: first beta, next beta, or official stable/latest.

  5. Confirm there are no unrelated uncommitted changes that should be excluded from the release.

  6. If publishing is requested, confirm npm auth with npm whoami after npm login when auth may be stale.

Version Lanes

Use SemVer prerelease syntax with a hyphen.

X.Y.Z-beta.1 < X.Y.Z-beta.2 < X.Y.Z

First beta:

VERSION=X.Y.Z-beta.1
npm version "$VERSION" --no-git-tag-version
npm login
npm publish --access public --tag beta
npm view clisbot@beta version
npm view clisbot dist-tags

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.
