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

parentsquare 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 14d 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ParentSquare CLI

A self-contained CLI for ParentSquare district/school data, generated with Printing Press from the live ParentSquare web app and hand-extended for PSD. Read-focused (rosters, directories, calendars, notification analytics); the only write is create-draft, which can only create an unsent draft.

Built for Peninsula School District (district 998), but every command takes a district/school/section ID, so it works for any district the authenticated account can access.

Setup (one-time)

1. Resolve the binary

The binary is not committed to the repo. Resolve it once — this downloads the prebuilt binary for your platform from the repo's GitHub Release (or builds it from cli/ if you have Go and no network):

BIN="$(bash scripts/ensure-binary.sh)"   # run from this skill's directory
"$BIN" --version

Use "$BIN" for every command below. It caches under ~/.cache/parentsquare-pp-cli/, so this is a one-time cost.

2. Authenticate (Chrome cookie)

Auth is a ParentSquare session cookie read from Chrome. Install the cookie extractor once, then log in:

uv tool install pycookiecheat          # one-time; the CLI shells out to it
# Be logged into www.parentsquare.com in Chrome, then:
"$BIN" auth login --chrome              # approve the macOS Keychain prompt if shown
"$BIN" auth status                      # should print "Authenticated"

Re-run auth login --chrome if the session expires.

Global flags

Every command supports --json, --csv, --compact, --agent (all agent-friendly defaults), --dry-run, and --select <fields>. Framework commands sync (mirror to local SQLite), search, and analytics are also available.

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
