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

sq-settings 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 4d 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

/sidequest:sq-settings

Enable or disable the SideQuest plugin.

Steps

  1. Read the config file:
cat ~/.sidequest/config.json
  1. Parse the JSON and check the current enabled value (true or false).

  2. If the user says "enable" or "on":

    • Update enabled to true
  3. If the user says "disable" or "off":

    • Update enabled to false
  4. Write the updated config back using Python:

python3 -c "
import json, os, tempfile
config_path = os.path.expanduser('~/.sidequest/config.json')
with open(config_path) as f:
    config = json.load(f)
config['enabled'] = <NEW_VALUE>
fd, tmp = tempfile.mkstemp(dir=os.path.dirname(config_path))
with os.fdopen(fd, 'w') as f:
    json.dump(config, f, indent=2)
os.rename(tmp, config_path)
"
  1. Display the new status to the user:
SideQuest Plugin Status
======================
Plugin: <ENABLED or DISABLED>
  1. If enabled, add:

    Quests will appear while you code.
    
  2. If disabled, add:

    Quests are paused. Run /sidequest:sq-settings enable to resume.
    

Error Handling

  • If ~/.sidequest/config.json doesn't exist, tell the user: "SideQuest not configured. Run /sidequest:sq-login first."
  • If JSON parsing fails, tell the user: "Config file is corrupted. Run /sidequest:sq-login to reset."
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.
