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

loop 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 3d 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Loop

Run /loop on a recurring or variable interval. First decide which mechanism applies from the tools you have, then follow only that section below:

  • If the cursor-subscriptions-subscribe_timer MCP tool is available (you are a Cloud Agent), use Subscription timer (cloud). A local sleep loop does not work in cloud.
  • Otherwise (local IDE/CLI session), use Monitored shell output (local).

Parse

Accept /loop [interval] <prompt>.

  • Leading interval: 5m /foo, 30s check status, 2h run report.
  • Trailing interval: check deploy every 5m, run tests every 10 minutes.
  • No interval: dynamic mode; the agent chooses the delay and may change it tick to tick.
  • Empty prompt: show Usage: /loop [interval] <prompt>.

Use intervals like 30s, 5m, 2h, 1d. Convert unit words to short units. If the user gives a cron-style phrase ("every weekday at 9am") and the subscription-timer mechanism is in use, pass it as a cron expression instead of a delay.

Subscription timer (cloud)

Use the cursor-subscriptions MCP timer to wake this Cloud Agent on a recurring schedule using cursor-subscriptions-subscribe_timer.

Schedule

Call cursor-subscriptions-subscribe_timer with:

  • name: a stable handle, e.g. loop-<purpose> derived from the prompt (loop-check-deploy). The server dedupes by name and silently keeps the old config on a dedupe hit — see "Changing an existing timer" below.
  • prompt: the literal follow-up text the agent should receive on each tick.
  • Exactly one of delaySeconds (a positive integer, fixed interval between fires) or cron (a cron expression).

Run the prompt once immediately so the first server tick is not a cold start. Then subscribe and confirm: the interval, that the prompt already ran once, the returned subscriptionId, and that the loop will fire on each tick until stopped.

Each subsequent tick arrives as a normal follow-up prompt. Do not arm anything client-side; the server keeps firing until you unsubscribe or the timer expires.

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.

loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository saski/arnesto (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed Unlicense. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,755 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
