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 B, and why

yolo scanned grade B 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 2mo 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Set up a PermissionRequest hook that auto-handles permission prompts.

Arguments

  • /yolo approve-all — auto-approve everything (no security review)
  • /yolo approve-websearch — auto-approve WebSearch and WebFetch only; all other tools fall through to the normal permission dialog
  • /yolo review — route each permission request to Claude for security review via claude -p
  • /yolo off — remove the PermissionRequest hook
  • Add --global to any command to apply to ~/.claude/settings.json instead of the project's .claude/settings.local.json

If no argument is given, default to review.

Instructions

  1. Determine the target settings file:

    • If --global is in the arguments: ~/.claude/settings.json
    • Otherwise: .claude/settings.local.json in the project root
  2. Read the target settings file. If it doesn't exist, start with {}.

  3. Based on the mode:

approve-all

Set hooks.PermissionRequest in the settings to:

[
  {
    "hooks": [
      {
        "type": "command",
        "command": "INPUT=$(cat); TOOL=$(echo \"$INPUT\" | grep -o '\"tool_name\":\"[^\"]*\"' | head -1 | sed 's/\"tool_name\":\"//;s/\"//'); if [ \"$TOOL\" = \"AskUserQuestion\" ]; then echo '{}'; else echo '{\"hookSpecificOutput\":{\"hookEventName\":\"PermissionRequest\",\"decision\":{\"behavior\":\"allow\"}}}'; fi"
      }
    ]
  }
]

approve-websearch

Set hooks.PermissionRequest in the settings to:

[
  {
    "hooks": [
      {
        "type": "command",
        "command": "INPUT=$(cat); TOOL=$(echo \"$INPUT\" | grep -o '\"tool_name\":\"[^\"]*\"' | head -1 | sed 's/\"tool_name\":\"//;s/\"//'); if [ \"$TOOL\" = \"AskUserQuestion\" ]; then echo '{}'; elif [ \"$TOOL\" = \"WebSearch\" ] || [ \"$TOOL\" = \"WebFetch\" ]; then echo '{\"hookSpecificOutput\":{\"hookEventName\":\"PermissionRequest\",\"decision\":{\"behavior\":\"allow\"}}}'; else echo '{}'; fi"
      }
    ]
  }
]

review

First, create .claude/hooks/permission-review.sh in the target location (project root or ~/.claude/hooks/ for global) with the contents of permission-review.sh. Make it executable.

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.
