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

cook-menu 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.

cook-menu Skill

Interactive menu for managing cook artifacts using native Claude Code UI.

Execution Flow

When /cook-menu is invoked, follow this flow:

Step 1: Scan Artifacts

Run this command to get artifact list with metadata:

for f in cook/*.cook.md; do
  if [ -f "$f" ]; then
    name=$(basename "$f" .cook.md)
    status=$(grep -m1 "^## Status" -A1 "$f" | tail -1 | tr -d '[:space:]')
    mode=$(grep -m1 "^## Cooking Mode" -A1 "$f" | tail -1 | tr -d '[:space:]')
    echo "$name|$status|$mode"
  fi
done

Step 2: Select Artifact

Use AskUserQuestion tool to present artifacts:

Question: "Which artifact do you want to manage?"
Header: "Artifact"
Options: [list of artifacts with status as description]

If user selects "Exit" or cancels, end the skill.

Step 3: Select Action

Use AskUserQuestion tool to present actions:

Question: "What do you want to do with <artifact-name>?"
Header: "Action"
Options:
  - "Validate" - "Run validation checks on this artifact"
  - "Compare" - "Diff with another artifact"
  - "Status" - "View artifact metadata summary"
  - "Back" - "Return to artifact selection"

Step 4: Execute Action

Based on selection:

Validate:

./scripts/cook-validate "cook/<artifact>.cook.md" --verbose

Compare:

  1. Use AskUserQuestion to select second artifact
  2. Run: ./scripts/cook-diff "cook/<artifact1>.cook.md" "cook/<artifact2>.cook.md"

Status:

./scripts/cook-validate "cook/<artifact>.cook.md" --quiet

Then display: filename, status, mode, owner, date, section count.

Back: Return to Step 2.

Step 5: Loop

After action completes, return to Step 3 (action selection) for same artifact. User can select "Back" to return to artifact selection.

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.
