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

gifgrep 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

gifgrep

Use gifgrep to search GIF providers (Tenor/Giphy), browse in a TUI, download results, and extract stills or sheets.

GIF-Grab (gifgrep workflow)

  • Search → preview → download → extract (still/sheet) for fast review and sharing.

Quick start

  • gifgrep cats --max 5
  • gifgrep cats --format url | head -n 5
  • gifgrep search --json cats | jq '.[0].url'
  • gifgrep tui "office handshake"
  • gifgrep cats --download --max 1 --format url

TUI + previews

  • TUI: gifgrep tui "query"
  • CLI still previews: --thumbs (Kitty/Ghostty only; still frame)

Download + reveal

  • --download saves to ~/Downloads
  • --reveal shows the last download in Finder

Stills + sheets

  • gifgrep still ./clip.gif --at 1.5s -o still.png
  • gifgrep sheet ./clip.gif --frames 9 --cols 3 -o sheet.png
  • Sheets = single PNG grid of sampled frames (great for quick review, docs, PRs, chat).
  • Tune: --frames (count), --cols (grid width), --padding (spacing).

Providers

  • --source auto|tenor|giphy
  • GIPHY_API_KEY required for --source giphy
  • TENOR_API_KEY optional (Tenor demo key used if unset)

Output

  • --json prints an array of results (id, title, url, preview_url, tags, width, height)
  • --format for pipe-friendly fields (e.g., url)

Environment tweaks

  • GIFGREP_SOFTWARE_ANIM=1 to force software animation
  • GIFGREP_CELL_ASPECT=0.5 to tweak preview geometry

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.
