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

askit-build-command 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 33 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

askit-build-command

Purpose

Author conformant commands. Two modes: create scaffolds a new commands/<name>.md that maps to an existing skill; improve raises an existing command toward the quality bar. On Codex a command is realized as its backing skill (Standard sec 3.2 parity), so this skill emits no Codex artifact. Follows the shared builder pattern. Authoring depth is in references/authoring-commands.md.

When to use

When the user asks to create, scaffold, or improve a slash command for a skill.

create mode

  1. Brief interview: the command name (kebab-case, becomes /name), the skill (or workflow) it maps to, optional args, and a description: the LABEL a caller sees beside the slash command, stating what invoking it does. It is not a trigger surface, so do not ask for use-when phrasing (Standard sec 3.2). Skip if provided in context.
  2. Copy templates/command.md into commands/<name>.md.
  3. Fill the frontmatter: description (the caller-facing label: what invoking it does, non-empty; Standard sec 3.2 - NOT the sec 8.1 skill bar, which does not apply to commands); maps-to equal to the backing skill or workflow name; optional argument-hint/allowed-tools/model; metadata.version. The filename is the command name (no name key). Write a body that invokes the backing skill, passing $ARGUMENTS.
  4. Verify the maps-to target exists (a skill in skills/ or a workflow in _workflows/).
  5. Register the command in library.json components.commands as { name, path, version, tier, status }.
  6. Assess with node scripts/evaluate.mjs . --json and iterate until 0 errors (S3 components index + S7 command-contract must be clean).

improve mode

  1. Run node scripts/evaluate.mjs . --json and read the report.
  2. For each finding: an S3 error -> declare/undeclare the command in components.commands to match disk; an S7 error -> add the missing maps-to, fix a maps-to that does not resolve, or add a missing description. For any other finding, read its message and apply the fix it states.
  3. Re-run evaluate to confirm.

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.
