A set of rules for designing command-line programs and developer tools, covering commands, options, output, prompts, errors, runtime behavior, and distribution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing CLI commands, flags, JSON output, terminal detection, prompts, file locations, shell completions, packaging, or checksums.
Why use it?
It helps make terminal tools predictable and easier to use across scripts, interactive terminals, and different operating systems. It also addresses behavior such as dry runs, repeated execution, shutdown signals, and exit codes.

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

sota-cli-ux 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 11d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
