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

ima-skill 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (ima_api.cjs, knowledge-base/scripts/cos-upload.cjs, knowledge-base/scripts/preflight-check.cjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ima-skill

Unified IMA OpenAPI skill. Currently supports: notes, knowledge-base.

⛔ MANDATORY RULES — read before ANY operation

  1. UTF-8 encoding (notes writes only): Before calling import_doc or append_doc, ALL string fields (content, title) MUST be validated as legal UTF-8. Non-UTF-8 content causes irreversible garbled text. See Detailed Rules for platform-specific methods.
  2. File upload naming: title MUST equal file_name (with extension). Never rename, shorten, translate, or modify the original filename.
  3. Unsupported file types: Reject immediately with a clear message. Do NOT ask user "do you still want to try?" Video files, Bilibili/YouTube URLs, and file:// URLs are not supported — tell user to use IMA desktop client.
  4. File upload integrity: Keep file content as-is during upload. No encoding conversion for binary files (PDF, images, Excel, etc.).
  5. PowerShell 5.1 (all modules): If running in PowerShell, detect version before first API call. PS 5.1 silently converts request Body to GBK — must use UTF-8 byte array mode. See Detailed Rules.

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.
