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

status 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 12d 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

Avatar Status

Check the status of the Varie Claude Avatar daemon and current character.

Instructions

Run these checks and present the results:

1. Daemon Status

# Check if socket exists (daemon is running)
test -S /tmp/varie-claude-avatar.sock && echo "RUNNING" || echo "NOT_RUNNING"

# Get daemon info (PID, start time)
cat ~/.varie-claude-avatar/daemon.json 2>/dev/null

2. Active Character

cat ~/.varie-claude-avatar/config.json 2>/dev/null

If the file doesn't exist, the default character (Beatriz) is active.

3. Cached Characters

ls -d ~/.varie-claude-avatar/characters/*/ 2>/dev/null | xargs -I{} basename {}

4. Active Sessions

cat ~/.varie-claude-avatar/state.json 2>/dev/null

Output Format

Present as:

## Varie Claude Avatar Status

**Daemon**: Running (PID 12345) / Not Running
**Active Character**: Soren (`soren_cb3333dd3e3f`) / Beatriz (default)
**Profile**: https://varie.ai/varie-mate/characters/{activeCharacterId}
**Cached Characters**: soren_cb3333dd3e3f, beatriz_4e17b3271c2b
**Active Sessions**: 2

### Quick Actions
- Browse characters: `/varie-avatar:list`
- Switch character: `/varie-avatar:set <id>`
- Force refresh: `/varie-avatar:set <id> --refresh`
- Create your own: https://varie.ai/varie-mate

If the daemon is not running, suggest: cd varie-claude-avatar/daemon && npm run dev

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.
