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

ralphex-settings 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Ralphex Settings

Manage the ralphex configuration stored in .claude/ralphex.local.md.

Steps

  1. Check if .claude/ralphex.local.md exists. If it does, read it and parse the YAML frontmatter to extract the current values of base_branch, codex_model, and codex_reasoning_effort. If it does not exist, use these defaults: base_branch = main, codex_model = gpt-5.4, codex_reasoning_effort = high.

  2. Show the user their current settings:

    **Current ralphex settings:**
    - base_branch: {value}
    - codex_model: {value}
    - codex_reasoning_effort: {value}
    
  3. Ask the user which settings they want to change using AskUserQuestion.

  4. For each selected setting, ask for the new value using AskUserQuestion:

    • For base_branch: suggest the current value plus main, master, develop as options.
    • For codex_model: suggest gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.5 as options.
    • For codex_reasoning_effort: offer low, medium, high, xhigh as options with high first.
  5. Write the updated settings to .claude/ralphex.local.md with YAML frontmatter:

    ---
    base_branch: {value}
    codex_model: {value}
    codex_reasoning_effort: {value}
    ---
    
  6. Confirm the changes to the user by showing the new settings.

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.
