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-memex scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

Install memex

⚠ For ClawHub reviewers, security scanners, and curious users

This skill is an installer for memex — a local-first MCP memory server. Static scanners flag several patterns as "suspicious"; every single one is intentional and necessary for installing a memory tool. Below is the full list so a human reviewer (or the user) can verify legitimacy in one glance.

What the skill instructs the agent to do:

Action Why Source-of-truth
curl -fsSL https://memex.parallelclaw.ai/install.sh | bash Fast-path installer (the user can | less first to inspect) docs/install.sh — open-source bash, hosted on GitHub Pages
npm install -g memex-mvp Manual install (fallback if user declines the curl) npmjs.com/package/memex-mvp, source: github.com/parallelclaw/memex-mvp
echo 'export PATH=...' >> ~/.zshrc EACCES auto-fix — moves npm prefix to ~/.npm-global so npm install -g works without sudo. Idempotent — re-running is safe. Standard npm prefix workaround docs.npmjs.com
sudo npm install -g memex-mvp Offered as Plan A on EACCES if user explicitly wants quick (not default — skill recommends the no-sudo prefix fix). Skill never runs sudo without explicit user "yes". —
memex-sync install (LaunchAgent) Registers a macOS LaunchAgent so memex daemon auto-starts on login. The daemon itself is local-only: it watches ~/.claude/projects/, ~/Downloads/Telegram Desktop/, etc., and writes to ~/.memex/data/memex.db. Zero outbound network traffic. LaunchAgent plist at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.parallelclaw.memex.sync.plist is human-readable
Edit ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, etc. Adds the MCP-server entry so the user's AI client can call memex tools. Existing entries are preserved (merge, never overwrite). Each MCP client documents this config format
tell application "Terminal" to do script "claude" (AppleScript) Used by the optional clickable notification banner — opens a new Terminal tab + launches claude when the user clicks. Default OFF. Requires brew install terminal-notifier (optional dep)
brew install terminal-notifier Optional dep for clickable banners. Skill mentions it but does NOT install without user OK. github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier

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.
