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

openhue 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 4d 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.

OpenHue CLI

Control Philips Hue lights and scenes via a Hue Bridge from the terminal.

Prerequisites

# Linux (pre-built binary)
curl -sL https://github.com/openhue/openhue-cli/releases/latest/download/openhue-linux-amd64 -o ~/.local/bin/openhue && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/openhue

# macOS
brew install openhue/cli/openhue-cli

First run requires pressing the button on your Hue Bridge to pair. The bridge must be on the same local network.

When to Use

  • "Turn on/off the lights"
  • "Dim the living room lights"
  • "Set a scene" or "movie mode"
  • Controlling specific Hue rooms, zones, or individual bulbs
  • Adjusting brightness, color, or color temperature

Common Commands

List Resources

openhue get light       # List all lights
openhue get room        # List all rooms
openhue get scene       # List all scenes

Control Lights

# Turn on/off
openhue set light "Bedroom Lamp" --on
openhue set light "Bedroom Lamp" --off

# Brightness (0-100)
openhue set light "Bedroom Lamp" --on --brightness 50

# Color temperature (warm to cool: 153-500 mirek)
openhue set light "Bedroom Lamp" --on --temperature 300

# Color (by name or hex)
openhue set light "Bedroom Lamp" --on --color red
openhue set light "Bedroom Lamp" --on --rgb "#FF5500"

Control Rooms

# Turn off entire room
openhue set room "Bedroom" --off

# Set room brightness
openhue set room "Bedroom" --on --brightness 30

Scenes

openhue set scene "Relax" --room "Bedroom"
openhue set scene "Concentrate" --room "Office"

Quick Presets

# Bedtime (dim warm)
openhue set room "Bedroom" --on --brightness 20 --temperature 450

# Work mode (bright cool)
openhue set room "Office" --on --brightness 100 --temperature 250

# Movie mode (dim)
openhue set room "Living Room" --on --brightness 10

# Everything off
openhue set room "Bedroom" --off
openhue set room "Office" --off
openhue set room "Living Room" --off

Notes

  • Bridge must be on the same local network as the machine running Moltis
  • First run requires physically pressing the button on the Hue Bridge to authorize
  • Colors only work on color-capable bulbs (not white-only models)
  • Light and room names are case-sensitive — use openhue get light to check exact names
  • Works great with cron jobs for scheduled lighting (e.g. dim at bedtime, bright at wake)

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.
