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

ck:preview 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 1mo 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preview

Universal viewer + visual generator. View existing content OR generate new visual explanations.

Default (No Arguments)

If invoked without arguments, ask the user to choose available preview operations:

Operation Description
(view) View a file or directory
--explain Generate visual explanation
--slides Generate presentation slides
--diagram Generate architecture diagram
--ascii Terminal-friendly diagram
--stop Stop preview server

Present options with header "Preview Operation", question "What would you like to do?".

Usage

View Mode

  • $preview <file.md> - View markdown file in novel-reader UI
  • $preview <directory/> - Browse directory contents
  • $preview --stop - Stop running server

Generation Mode

  • $preview --explain <topic> - Generate visual explanation (ASCII + Mermaid + prose)
  • $preview --slides <topic> - Generate presentation slides (one concept per slide)
  • $preview --diagram <topic> - Generate focused diagram (ASCII + Mermaid)
  • $preview --ascii <topic> - Generate ASCII-only diagram (terminal-friendly)

Argument Resolution

When processing arguments, follow this priority order:

  1. --stop → Stop server (exit)
  2. Generation flags (--explain, --slides, --diagram, --ascii) → Generation mode. Load references/generation-modes.md
  3. Resolve path from argument:
    • If argument is an explicit path → use directly
    • If argument is a contextual reference → resolve from recent conversation context
  4. Resolved path exists on filesystem → View mode. Load references/view-mode.md
  5. Path doesn't exist or can't resolve → Ask user to clarify

Topic-to-slug conversion:

  • Lowercase the topic
  • Replace spaces/special chars with hyphens
  • Remove non-alphanumeric except hyphens
  • Collapse multiple hyphens → single hyphen
  • Trim leading/trailing hyphens
  • Max 80 chars - truncate at word boundary if longer

Multiple flags: If multiple generation flags provided, use first one; remaining treated as topic.

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.
