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

captain-search-cli 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.

Captain Search CLI

Use this skill for direct terminal work with Captain Search.

Resolve the entrypoint

  1. If you are inside a checkout of this repository, prefer uv run csearch ....
  2. If the project virtualenv is already active and csearch resolves, csearch ... is acceptable.
  3. Outside the repo root, use uv run --directory /path/to/captain-search csearch ....
  4. Only use published-package entrypoints such as uvx --from captain-search csearch ... or uv tool install captain-search after a public package release exists.
  5. If the user wants the public-install path or asks why uvx csearch is wrong, explain that csearch is a script exposed by the captain-search package, so the correct one-off form is uvx --from captain-search csearch ....
  6. If the user wants a reusable agent install from this checkout, use uv run csearch skill install --scope user. After a public release exists, prefer uvx --from captain-search csearch skill install.

Pick the workflow

  1. For first-run install, auth, smoke tests, or a recommended setup path, read references/onboarding.md.
  2. For exact command construction, formats, and subcommand rules, read references/commands.md.
  3. For provider trouble, empty results, or rate limits, run uv run csearch doctor from the checkout before assuming a backend is broken.

Non-negotiable CLI rules

  1. Use the short subcommands: web, code, fetch, doctor, skill, mcp, version.
  2. Do not use legacy search-web, search-code, fetch-webpage, or serve examples.
  3. Bare csearch or captain-search prints help and exits 0. Use mcp explicitly for server mode.
  4. Use web --all for breadth. Do not use --provider multi or --provider all.
  5. web, code, and fetch all support --format json.
  6. Treat exit code 0 as top-level success only. Provider-level warnings or partial failures can still appear in the output.
  7. Keep install guidance honest: do not present uv tool install captain-search or uvx --from captain-search ... as currently available unless the package has actually been published.

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.
