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

qwencloud-update-check 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_update.py, scripts/gossamer.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What it actually says

Qwen Update Checker

Automatic version checker for the qwencloud/qwencloud-ai skill pack. Compares the locally installed version against the latest release on GitHub and notifies the user when an update is available.

This skill is referenced by all other qwencloud/qwencloud-ai. When any skill runs, it checks if this skill is installed and delegates version checking here.

How It Works

  1. Reads the installed version from version.json (the version field bundled with this skill).
  2. Fetches the latest version from the remote repository (GitHub raw content).
  3. Compares versions using semver. Returns {"has_update": true} if a newer version exists.
  4. Records the check timestamp (last_interaction) in <repo_root>/.agents/state.json to rate-limit network requests to once every 24 hours.

Usage

Other skills invoke this script automatically. You can also run it manually:

python3 <path-to-this-skill>/scripts/check_update.py --print-response

CLI Arguments

Argument Description
--print-response Print result as formatted JSON to stdout
--force Bypass 24-hour rate limit and check immediately

Output Format

{
  "has_update": true
}

Configuration

Environment Variable Default Description
QWEN_SKILLS_REPO qwencloud/qwencloud-ai GitHub repo for remote version check

State File

The last_interaction timestamp is stored at <repo_root>/.agents/state.json for rate-limiting. Check results are not cached in the state file. This file persists across sessions and is shared with gossamer.py for fatigue control.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
