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

cloud-init-knowledge-patch 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 1mo 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.

cloud-init Knowledge Patch

Use this skill when changing cloud-init networking, datasource detection, packaging, service integration, distribution support, templating, platform detection, or reporting consumers. Start with the compatibility checks below, then load the topic reference that matches the work.

Reference index

Reference Topics
networking-and-datasources.md Network v1 devices, route metrics, OpenStack bond names and identity, Azure controls, OpenNebula, Scaleway
packaging-runtime-and-services.md Installation layout, Meson migration, systemd overrides, Python support, Jinja, mounts, boot analysis
platforms-and-reporting.md Distribution modules and defaults, platform detection, Raspberry Pi, CloudStack, Oracle, finish-event duration

How to apply this patch

  • Establish the datasource identity before debugging metadata networking on a non-x86 system.
  • Audit package manifests, custom systemd units, and runtime selection when moving an older downstream integration forward.
  • Treat renderer features separately from datasource detection: support for a device or route setting does not establish the cloud platform.
  • Test custom Jinja templates against the sandbox before shipping an image.
  • Check platform-specific defaults before adding generic fallback networking, mirror configuration, or separate module bootstrapping.
  • Keep reporting duration and conventional exit status intact for callers that consume cloud-init results programmatically.

Breaking changes and migration checks

Non-x86 datasource identity is strict

Since 25.1.4, Ec2, OpenStack, and AltCloud systems without DMI do not fall back to probing link-local metadata after networking. Cloud-init remains disabled unless one of these identifies the datasource:

  • DMI data
  • a kernel ds= override
  • datasource_list configuration

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.
