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

install-nightshift 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 3d 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.

Install Nightshift

Nightshift is a plugin, not a standalone skill. Its skills call a bundled runtime and depend on hooks: the clock-out gate, the guard and the usage accounting. A copied skill folder carries none of that, so this skill installs the real plugin from its marketplace, https://github.com/orwa-mahmoud/nightshift, on each host the user wants it on.

1. Read what is installed

Check each host that exists on this machine. A host whose CLI is not on PATH and whose folder is absent is not installed. Skip it.

Host Present when Nightshift installed when
Claude Code claude runs claude plugin list shows nightshift@nightshift
Codex codex runs codex plugin list shows a nightshift@… entry installed
Cursor ~/.cursor exists ~/.cursor/plugins/cache/ holds a folder with nightshift in its name

On Windows, ~ is %USERPROFILE%. Report each host on one line: absent, present without Nightshift, or present with Nightshift and its version.

One copy per host. Codex can hold two Nightshift copies, for example a directory install and the marketplace one. Two enabled copies both run their hooks, and Start refuses the shift. When a host shows two, name both with their versions, keep the nightshift@nightshift copy, and give the user the command to remove the other, such as codex plugin remove nightshift@<other-marketplace>. Never add a copy beside an existing one.

2. Install on this host first

Install on the host you are running in, unless it already has Nightshift. For an older version, update it instead.

  • Claude Code

    claude plugin marketplace add orwa-mahmoud/nightshift
    claude plugin install nightshift@nightshift
    

    Update: claude plugin marketplace update nightshift, then claude plugin update nightshift@nightshift.

  • Codex

    codex plugin marketplace add orwa-mahmoud/nightshift
    codex plugin add nightshift@nightshift
    

    Update: codex plugin marketplace upgrade nightshift.

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.
