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

phx-help 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to help — 57 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Plugin Help — Interactive Command Advisor

Helps users find the right command, skill, or agent for their situation.

Usage

phx-help                          # Analyze context, suggest commands
phx-help how do I debug this?     # Route to phx-investigate
phx-help add a new feature        # Route to phx-plan -> phx-work

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS — optional description of what the user wants to do
  • Empty = analyze current context (git status, existing plans, file patterns)

Execution Flow

Step 1: Gather Context

If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty, use it as primary signal.

Always gather ambient context (run in parallel):

  1. Check for existing plans: use Glob on .claude/plans/*/plan.md — active work in progress?
  2. Check git status: uncommitted changes? which files?
  3. Check for solution docs: use Glob on .claude/solutions/**/*.md — prior knowledge?

Step 2: Classify Intent

Read references/tool-catalog.md for the full routing table.

Map the user's situation to one of these categories:

Category Signals Primary Commands
Starting out No plans, new to plugin phx-intro
Ideation "explore", "brainstorm", "not sure", "how to approach", "vague idea" phx-brainstorm
New feature "add", "build", "implement", multi-file phx-planphx-work
Quick change Single file, <50 lines, "fix typo" phx-quick
Bug Error, stack trace, "broken", "failing" phx-investigate
Review "check", "review", PR ready phx-review
Performance "slow", "N+1", "memory" phx-perf, ecto-n1-check, lv-assigns
Research "how to", "best practice", "evaluate lib" phx-research
Resume work Existing plan with unchecked tasks phx-work --continue
Post-fix "that worked", solved a hard bug phx-compound
Full cycle Large feature, new domain area phx-full
Project health "audit", "tech debt", "overall quality" phx-audit, phx-techdebt
Dep update audit "audit deps", "supply chain", "post-mix deps.update", "review mix.lock PR" phx-deps-audit
Manual dep vetting "vet this package", "approve dep", "trust ledger", "after phx-deps-audit findings" phx-deps-vet
Deployment "deploy", "release", "production" phx-verify then deploy skill
Permissions "too many prompts", "allow", "permission fatigue" phx-permissions
Returning after time off "what did I miss", "back from vacation", "catch up", "what changed while I was out" /catchup (companion plugin, separate install)

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.
