Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00045 | $0.08087 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.04043 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01617 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00809 |
Grade D, and why
setup 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 6d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- Linux: `curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs`, or nvm Downloads and executes remote codehighSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.
- Linux: install with `curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh && sudo usermod -aG docker $USER`. Note: user may need to log out/in for group membership. Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 611 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Deus Setup
Run setup steps automatically. Only pause when user action is required (channel authentication, configuration choices). Setup uses bash setup.sh for bootstrap, then npx tsx setup/index.ts --step <name> for all other steps. Steps emit structured status blocks to stdout. Verbose logs go to logs/setup.log.
Principle: When something is broken or missing, fix it. Don't tell the user to go fix it themselves unless it genuinely requires their manual action (e.g. authenticating a channel, pasting a secret token). If a dependency is missing, install it. If a service won't start, diagnose and repair. Ask the user for permission when needed, then do the work.
UX Note: Use AskUserQuestion for all user-facing questions.
CRITICAL: Do NOT add git remotes (git remote add), fetch from external repos, or install npm packages from the public registry outside of step 0. All channel code and packages are local in the repo. If something seems missing, check packages/ and src/channels/ before looking externally.
Vault structure default: The memory step seeds CLAUDE.md (identity + critical rules + index + session state). Only CLAUDE.md auto-loads every turn — everything else loads on demand via memory_tree.
0. Git & Fork Setup
Check the git remote configuration to ensure the user has a proper setup for receiving updates.
Run:
git remote -v
Determine which case applies based on the origin URL:
Case A — origin points to the Deus source repo (user cloned directly instead of forking):
The user cloned instead of forking. AskUserQuestion: "You cloned Deus directly. We recommend forking so you can push your customizations. Would you like to set up a fork?"
- Fork now (recommended) — walk them through it
- Continue without fork — they'll only have local changes
If fork: instruct the user to fork the repo on GitHub (they need to do this in their browser), then ask them for their GitHub username. Run:
git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin https://github.com/<their-username>/deus.git
git push --force origin main
Verify with git remote -v.
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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository sliamh11/Deus (51 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 8,087 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
