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 B, and why

openlink-license-manager scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Run these checks in order before attempting any privileged command. Claude Code runs non-interactively (no TTY), so both the symlink and passwordless sudo must be in place.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 319 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Manage the OpenLink License Manager daemon (oplmgr) lifecycle across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Covers start, stop, restart, status, enable/disable at boot, and version detection.


Execution Routing

Default execution order when REST or remote access is needed:

  1. Local CLI execution — manage oplmgr via sudo commands, launchctl, or systemctl (primary mode)
  2. URIBurner REST functions — for remote license server status checks or management
  3. Terminal-owned OAuth flow — when a REST endpoint requires OAuth 2.0 authentication, execute the OAuth flow from the terminal (authorization code, client credentials, or device flow), capture the Bearer token, and inject it into subsequent REST/OpenAPI calls via Authorization: Bearer {token} headers
  4. MCP — if a remote MCP-enabled service exposes license manager tools

If the user names a specific mode or protocol, follow that preference instead.


Step 0 — Detect OS and Init System

# Detect OS
uname -s   # Darwin = macOS, Linux = Linux
           # Windows: uname absent; detect via %OS% or assume Windows if neither works

# On Linux only — detect init system
systemctl --version 2>/dev/null && echo "systemd" || echo "manual"
uname -s output OS
Darwin macOS
Linux Linux
(absent / error) Windows

If OS detection is ambiguous, ask the user to confirm their OS before proceeding.


Step 1 — Pre-flight Checks (macOS and Linux only)

Run these checks in order before attempting any privileged command. Claude Code runs non-interactively (no TTY), so both the symlink and passwordless sudo must be in place.

Check A — Symlink at /usr/local/bin/oplmgr

sudoers cannot handle paths containing spaces. The real binary lives at /Library/Application Support/openlink/bin/oplmgr, so a space-free symlink is required.

ls -la /usr/local/bin/oplmgr 2>/dev/null && echo "symlink OK" || echo "symlink MISSING"

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.

openlink-license-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenLinkSoftware/ai-agent-skills (38 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 3,720 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
