About the project

Brigade is an ecosystem for running crews of AI agents as a personal intelligence system, with local handling of credentials and support for exposing agent crews to the internet for testing. It is for people who want to organize and operate multiple AI agents using their own API keys or existing Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude Code, or Codex access. The catalogue skills provide workflows for using Brigade and its agent ecosystem.

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 C, and why

xurl scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

xurl — Agent Skill Reference

xurl is a CLI tool for the X API. It supports both shortcut commands (human/agent‑friendly one‑liners) and raw curl‑style access to any v2 endpoint. All commands return JSON to stdout.


Installation

Homebrew (macOS)

brew install --cask xdevplatform/tap/xurl

npm

npm install -g @xdevplatform/xurl

Shell script

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdevplatform/xurl/main/install.sh | bash

Installs to ~/.local/bin. If it's not in your PATH, the script will tell you what to add.

Go

go install github.com/xdevplatform/xurl@latest

Prerequisites

This skill requires the xurl CLI utility: https://github.com/xdevplatform/xurl.

Before using any command you must be authenticated. Run xurl auth status to check.

Secret Safety (Mandatory)

  • Never read, print, parse, summarize, upload, or send ~/.xurl (or copies of it) to the LLM context.
  • Never ask the user to paste credentials/tokens into chat.
  • The user must fill ~/.xurl with required secrets manually on their own machine.
  • Do not recommend or execute auth commands with inline secrets in agent/LLM sessions.
  • Warn that using CLI secret options in agent sessions can leak credentials (prompt/context, logs, shell history).
  • Never use --verbose / -v in agent/LLM sessions; it can expose sensitive headers/tokens in output.
  • Sensitive flags that must never be used in agent commands: --bearer-token, --consumer-key, --consumer-secret, --access-token, --token-secret, --client-id, --client-secret.
  • To verify whether at least one app with credentials is already registered, run: xurl auth status.

Register an app (recommended)

App credential registration must be done manually by the user outside the agent/LLM session. After credentials are registered, authenticate with:

xurl auth oauth2

For multiple pre-configured apps, switch between them:

xurl auth default prod-app          # set default app
xurl auth default prod-app alice    # set default app + user
xurl --app dev-app /2/users/me      # one-off override

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.
