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

list scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

List Available Characters

Browse and discover Varie characters for your Claude Code companion.

Instructions

Step 1: Understand what the user wants

If the user provided a preference (e.g., "I want a calm character", "something fantasy"), note it for matching. If not, ask:

What kind of companion are you looking for? For example: a genre (fantasy, sci-fi, modern), a vibe (calm, energetic, mysterious), or just "surprise me" to see what's available.

Step 2: Fetch characters with pagination

Fetch the first page:

curl -s "https://varie.ai/api/character-create/public/discover?limit=20"

The response shape:

{
  "characters": [
    {
      "id": "soren_cb3333dd3e3f",
      "name": "Soren",
      "tagline": "A mysterious wanderer with ancient secrets",
      "quotes": [
        "The stars remember what mortals forget.",
        "Every path leads somewhere worth going.",
        "Silence speaks louder than you think."
      ],
      "genre": "fantasy",
      "pronouns": "he/him",
      "personalityTags": ["mysterious", "wise", "calm"],
      "publicModel": { "status": "full_ready" }
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "limit": 20,
    "hasMore": true,
    "nextCursor": "5"
  }
}

Pagination: If pagination.hasMore is true and you haven't found a good match for the user's preference, fetch the next page:

curl -s "https://varie.ai/api/character-create/public/discover?limit=20&cursor=<nextCursor>"

Continue fetching pages until you find good matches or there are no more pages. Collect all fetched characters before presenting results.

Step 3: Present results

If the user has a preference: Filter and rank characters by matching personalityTags, genre, tagline, and pronouns against what the user described. Present your top 3-5 recommendations with reasoning:

For each recommended character, pick a random quote from their quotes array (if available). Present the quote as an attribution — no field labels:

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.
