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

canvasight-update 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 10d 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 — 30 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Canvasight Update

Use the bundled updater as the only update path. It compares the installed plugin with the latest official GitHub Release and, for an install request, upgrades the complete plugin snapshot through the canvasight-local marketplace. Do not copy individual Skills, MCP files, web assets, or cache entries.

Choose The Operation

  • Resolve the plugin root as two directories above this SKILL.md.
  • For a check-only request, run node <plugin-root>/scripts/update-canvasight.mjs --check. Never run --update, marketplace commands, or installation commands.
  • For an explicit install or upgrade request, run node <plugin-root>/scripts/update-canvasight.mjs --update.
  • Run exactly that one bundled-updater command and no other shell command. Do not run npm install, npm ci, another package manager, builds, tests, release preparation or verification, direct codex plugin or marketplace commands, Git commands, cleanup, or duplicate-file repair before or after it. The updater owns every permitted check, install, verification, and rollback step.
  • Parse the script's JSON result. Do not infer success from partial command output or run recovery commands outside the script.

Report The Result

  • update_available: report the installed and latest versions and say that no files were changed.
  • up_to_date: reply 你当前使用的 Canvasight vX.Y.Z 已经是最新版,无需更新。 Do not mention restart.
  • updated: reply Canvasight 已更新到 vX.Y.Z。请重新加载或重启 Codex Desktop,然后新建任务并重新 @Canvasight。重启由你自行完成。
  • ahead_of_release: report that the installed version is newer than the latest official Release and was not downgraded. Do not mention restart.
  • local_source: report that Canvasight is installed from a local development checkout, so automatic update stopped without changing it. Do not replace, pull, or edit the checkout.
  • unsupported_source: report that the installed source is not the official Niall-Young/Canvasight release source and was left unchanged.
  • version_unknown: report that the version could not be verified and the current installation was preserved.
  • release_mismatch, update_failed, rollback_failed, or error: state the script's concise error and whether rollback succeeded. Never claim the update succeeded.

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.
