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

record 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 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.

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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/asciinema-tools:record

Start a terminal recording session with asciinema.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Arguments

Argument Description
file Output path (e.g., session.cast)
-t, --title Recording title
-i, --idle-time-limit Max idle time in seconds
--backup Enable streaming backup to GitHub
--append Append to existing recording

Execution

Invoke the asciinema-recorder skill with user-selected options.

Skip Logic

  • If file provided -> skip Phase 1 (output location)
  • If -t and -i provided -> skip Phase 2 (options)

Workflow

  1. Preflight: Check asciinema installed
  2. Location: AskUserQuestion for output path
  3. Options: AskUserQuestion for recording options
  4. Generate: Build and display recording command
  5. Guidance: Show step-by-step instructions

Examples

# Basic recording
/asciinema-tools:record session.cast

# Recording with title and idle limit
/asciinema-tools:record -t "Demo Session" -i 30

# Recording with GitHub backup
/asciinema-tools:record session.cast --backup

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
asciinema not found Not installed brew install asciinema
Permission denied Output path issue Check write permissions for output directory
Recording not starting Terminal issue Ensure running in interactive terminal

Changes

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.
