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

file-operations 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 13d 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.

File Operations

Analyze files and retrieve metadata using Claude's native tools without modifying files.

When to Use

  • "analyze [file]"
  • "get file info for [file]"
  • "how many lines in [file]"
  • "compare [file1] and [file2]"
  • "file statistics"

Core Operations

File Size & Metadata

stat -f "%z bytes, modified %Sm" [file_path]  # Single file
ls -lh [directory]                             # Multiple files
du -h [file_path]                              # Human-readable size

Line Counts

wc -l [file_path]                              # Single file
wc -l [file1] [file2]                          # Multiple files
find [dir] -name "*.py" | xargs wc -l          # Directory total

Content Analysis

Use Read to analyze structure, then count functions/classes/imports.

Pattern Search

Grep(pattern="^def ", output_mode="count", path="src/")        # Count functions
Grep(pattern="TODO|FIXME", output_mode="content", -n=true)    # Find TODOs
Grep(pattern="^import ", output_mode="count")                 # Count imports

Find Files

Glob(pattern="**/*.py")

Workflow Examples

Comprehensive File Analysis

  1. Get size/mod time: stat -f "%z bytes, modified %Sm" file.py
  2. Count lines: wc -l file.py
  3. Read file: Read(file_path="file.py")
  4. Count functions: Grep(pattern="^def ", output_mode="count")
  5. Count classes: Grep(pattern="^class ", output_mode="count")

Compare File Sizes

  1. Find files: Glob(pattern="src/**/*.py")
  2. Get sizes: ls -lh src/**/*.py
  3. Total size: du -sh src/*.py

Code Quality Metrics

  1. Total lines: find . -name "*.py" | xargs wc -l
  2. Test files: find . -name "test_*.py" | wc -l
  3. TODOs: Grep(pattern="TODO|FIXME|HACK", output_mode="count")

Find Largest Files

find . -type f -not -path "./node_modules/*" -exec du -h {} + | sort -rh | head -20

Best Practices

  • Non-destructive: Use Read/stat/wc, never modify
  • Efficient: Read small files fully, use Grep for large files
  • Context-aware: Compare to project averages, suggest optimizations

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.
