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 F, and why

sq-uninstall scanned grade F with 4 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 5d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

Runs `curl -fsSL https://get.trysidequest.ai/uninstall.sh | bash` which:

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

What it actually says

/sidequest:sq-uninstall

Fully removes SideQuest (plugin + native app + local data) from this machine via the hosted uninstall script.

What It Does

Runs curl -fsSL https://get.trysidequest.ai/uninstall.sh | bash which:

  1. Stops the running native app
  2. Deletes ~/Applications/SideQuestApp.app
  3. Removes the plugin from Claude Code plugins cache + deregisters from ~/.claude/settings.json
  4. Deletes ~/.sidequest/ (auth token, config, tech-context, sockets, timing state)
  5. Removes any launchd agents, caches, and quarantine attributes
  6. Verifies zero traces remain

Your account on the server stays intact — re-installing later restores access with the same login.

Steps

1. Confirm with user

Before running, confirm intent:

"This will remove the SideQuest app, plugin, auth token, and all local data on this machine. Your server-side account stays — if you reinstall later, your login still works. Proceed? (yes/no)"

If user says yes, proceed. Otherwise stop.

2. Run uninstaller

curl -fsSL https://get.trysidequest.ai/uninstall.sh | bash

Capture exit status. Uninstaller prints its own progress + final verification report.

3. Report outcome

If exit status 0:

"✓ SideQuest removed. If you change your mind, visit https://get.trysidequest.ai or run the install one-liner again."

If non-zero:

"Uninstall reported errors (exit code {N}). Some traces may remain. Manual cleanup: rm -rf ~/.sidequest ~/Applications/SideQuestApp.app and check ~/.claude/settings.json for a sidequest entry under enabledPlugins."

Error Handling

  • If user declines, stop immediately — do not run uninstaller
  • If network unavailable, uninstaller will fail fast with curl exit code; suggest manual cleanup
  • Never attempt partial file deletion from this skill — let the script do all removals for auditability
  • Do not touch server-side state (user record, events) — uninstall is local-only by design
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.
