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

pluxx-bootstrap-runtime 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Pluxx Bootstrap Runtime

Use this skill when the machine is missing pluxx, is on a stale version, or when the user wants the smoother local operator path instead of relying on npx every time.

Workflow

  1. Detect the current runtime:
    • pluxx --version
    • or npx @orchid-labs/pluxx --version when local pluxx is missing
  2. If pluxx is missing, explain the best install path:
    • npm install -g @orchid-labs/pluxx@latest
  3. If pluxx is present but stale, prefer:
    • preview with pluxx upgrade --dry-run --json
    • report the resolved target, comparison, invocation source, and rollback command
    • obtain approval before the global npm mutation
    • run pluxx upgrade --json or pluxx upgrade --version x.y.z --json
    • verify that activePathAfter, activePackageAfter, and activeVersionAfter match the requested Pluxx runtime
  4. Explain when npx @orchid-labs/pluxx is the better fallback:
    • ephemeral use
    • no global install desired
    • locked-down machine
  5. After bootstrapping, point to the next sensible workflow:
    • import
    • migrate
    • build and install
    • troubleshoot install

Rules

  • Do not hide the difference between a global install and an npx fallback.
  • Prefer pluxx upgrade over repeating raw npm commands when the CLI already exists.
  • Do not execute an upgrade until the user has seen the resolved target and rollback command.
  • If verification fails after npm reports success, surface the rollback command and do not claim the runtime is upgraded.
  • If Node or npm is missing, say that clearly instead of pretending Pluxx can self-install without it.
  • If the host plugin is present but the underlying CLI is missing, call that out directly as a runtime prerequisite problem.

Output

  • Say whether pluxx is already available.
  • Return the exact next command.
  • Explain whether a global install or npx is the better fit.

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.
