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

lastlight-overlay 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 8d 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create & customize a Last Light overlay

Last Light keeps per-deployment customization in a private overlay at instance/, layered over the packaged defaults at startup. The overlay can hold config.yaml, secrets/, and overrides of any asset — workflows/, workflows/prompts/, skills/, agent-context/. An overlay copy shadows the built-in by logical name, so you only fork what you want to change.

These are host-local file operations on the working directory (resolved from --homeLASTLIGHT_HOME → saved serverHome~/lastlight).

1. Scaffold or adopt the overlay

lastlight server setup

This scaffolds/adopts the working directory: clones the core repo if needed, then creates a fresh overlay (scaffold + optional private gh repo create) or clones an existing overlay repo — your choice at the prompt. It also symlinks instance/docker-compose.override.yml and saves the working dir for later lastlight server … commands.

Read references/overlay-layout.md for the full directory shape and how the layering/merge rules work (arrays replace, maps deep-merge, overlay wins by name).

2. Tune non-secret config

Edit instance/config.yaml to set managedRepos, and optionally override models, variants, routes, approvals, disabled.*. Secrets stay in instance/secrets/.env (never in config.yaml).

Model setup

Two halves — the credential (env) and the model choice (config):

  1. Provider API key → instance/secrets/.env. Set the key matching the provider you'll use, e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=… (or OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY, … — see the repo's src/providers.ts for the full registry). Keys are env-only, never in config.yaml.

  2. Model choice → config.yaml models: map. default is the model every agent phase uses unless overridden; add per-task keys to override individual phases or the cheap helpers:

    models:
      default: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6      # every phase, provider/model form
      architect: anthropic/claude-opus-4-8      # a specific phase
      classifier: anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5-20251001   # the intent-routing helper
      screener: anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5-20251001     # the prompt-injection screener

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.
