rclone

rclone is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from roberto-mello/lavra. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,032 once invoked), scanned D, a copy of rclone, MIT.

A file-transfer skill built around rclone, a command-line tool for moving and managing files between local storage and cloud services. It covers services such as S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze, Google Drive, and Dropbox.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check rclone and configured connections, configure a remote, and upload or manage files in supported cloud storage.
Why use it?
It helps set up storage connections and perform cloud file operations without remembering each provider’s configuration details.

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 D, and why

rclone scanned grade D with 3 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_setup.sh), 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.

rclone File Transfer Skill

Setup Check (Always Run First)

Before any rclone operation, verify installation and configuration:

# Check if rclone is installed
command -v rclone >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "rclone installed: $(rclone version | head -1)" || echo "NOT INSTALLED"

# List configured remotes
rclone listremotes 2>/dev/null || echo "NO REMOTES CONFIGURED"

If rclone is NOT installed

Guide the user to install:

# macOS
brew install rclone

# Linux (script install)
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

# Or via package manager
sudo apt install rclone  # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install rclone  # Fedora

If NO remotes are configured

Walk the user through interactive configuration:

rclone config

Common provider setup quick reference:

Provider Type Key Settings
AWS S3 s3 access_key_id, secret_access_key, region
Cloudflare R2 s3 access_key_id, secret_access_key, endpoint (account_id.r2.cloudflarestorage.com)
Backblaze B2 b2 account (keyID), key (applicationKey)
DigitalOcean Spaces s3 access_key_id, secret_access_key, endpoint (region.digitaloceanspaces.com)
Google Drive drive OAuth flow (opens browser)
Dropbox dropbox OAuth flow (opens browser)

Example: Configure Cloudflare R2

rclone config create r2 s3 \
  provider=Cloudflare \
  access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
  secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
  endpoint=ACCOUNT_ID.r2.cloudflarestorage.com \
  acl=private

Example: Configure AWS S3

rclone config create aws s3 \
  provider=AWS \
  access_key_id=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
  secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
  region=us-east-1

Common Operations

Upload single file

rclone copy /path/to/file.mp4 remote:bucket/path/ --progress

Upload directory

rclone copy /path/to/folder remote:bucket/folder/ --progress

Sync directory (mirror, deletes removed files)

rclone sync /local/path remote:bucket/path/ --progress

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
