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

nexus 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 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.

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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nexus vault CLI

nexus drives a running Nexus (Obsidian) vault from the shell over a local socket — no MCP config. It has two verbs: discover what you can do, then execute.

Start here

Run nexus --help first. It is the authoritative, always-current manual — commands, the context contract, CLI syntax, gotchas, and the tool catalog. It's offline and instant (no socket), so read it before your first real command instead of guessing.

For a common task, nexus playbook <name> gives you a ready-to-run recipe plus your workspaces and the exact tools it needs, in one call. Run nexus playbook to see what's available (typically: vault-work, organize, tasks, prompt).

The mindset (this is what --help can't teach you)

  • Explore → inspect → exploit. Search/list find locations; content read gets contents; then you write. A search hit is a {path, score}, not the note — never quote, summarize, or edit from a hit without reading it first.
  • nexus tools returns schemas, not data. It's discovery. Don't loop it hoping for vault content — that comes from nexus use --memory … --goal … -- content read ….
  • --memory and --goal are real and enforced. You're operating a person's live vault; pass a genuine running summary and objective, not placeholders.
  • --workspace and --session are pass-once. The vault remembers them: name a session and choose its workspace on the first call of a task (or run memory load-workspace <name>), then omit both — every later call continues that session and inherits its workspace. Nothing defaults silently: a session that never chose a workspace fails with "This session has no workspace yet" (only memory list-workspaces / load-workspace / create-workspace run before the choice). Pass a different value once to switch. nexus context shows what the vault currently remembers.
  • You can't escape the vault. Paths are vault-relative; .., ~, and absolute paths are rejected. That's a guardrail, not a bug.
  • Nothing is destroyed. The AI gets archive (reversible), not delete.
  • Windows: nexus vaults discovers local named pipes. If policy blocks enumeration, pass --vault <name> or set NEXUS_VAULT.

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.
