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

inbox 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

terminalhire:inbox

One triage surface for everything waiting on the developer: pending invitations, unread chats, and their connections — the in-session counterpart of the th inbox interactive TUI (which they run themselves in a plain terminal; NEVER launch that raw-mode TUI from a skill).

This skill is a thin front door over the same flow as terminalhire:chat — follow that skill's picker pattern:

  1. Get current state via the bundled engine (never a global PATH binary):
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/bin/jpi-dispatch.js" chat --inbox
  1. If anything is actionable, present ONE AskUserQuestion list — most-actionable first: Accept @<login> for each pending invitation (→ … intro --accept @<login>), Open @<login> · 💬 N unread (→ … chat <login> --read), then read connections, plus a plain escape option ("Just show the inbox").
  2. After a pick, run the matching command inline and report; offer a reply (… chat <login> --send "…") or chain to the next item.
  3. If the user prefers to drive it themselves, point them at th inbox — the full-screen interactive inbox (arrow keys, Enter to open a thread, Esc back, accept/decline invitations inline) for their own terminal.

Privacy is unchanged from the chat skill: E2E messages, ciphertext-only wire, web-session cookie auth — the GitHub token never leaves the machine.

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.
