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

glab-duo 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 8d 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.

glab duo

Overview

glab duo is centered on the GitLab Duo Agent Platform. The current visible command surface exposes glab duo cli; the legacy glab duo ask command is hidden and deprecated.

Quick start

glab duo --help

Command surface guidance

Upstream glab now hides and deprecates glab duo ask.

Treat glab duo ask as legacy guidance only for older installed versions that still expose it in live help. For current forward-looking documentation, prefer:

glab duo cli

Use glab duo cli for the forward-looking GitLab Duo Agent Platform experience. glab handles authentication for the Duo CLI after you authenticate once with glab auth login.

Prerequisites for the GA path are GitLab 19.2 or later and the GitLab Duo Agent Platform prerequisites. GitLab Self-Managed and Dedicated instances must also allow Duo CLI access. GitLab 18.11 through 19.1 require beta and experimental features to be enabled.

Installing GitLab Duo CLI

glab duo cli supports install, update, and non-interactive confirmation flags:

# Install GitLab Duo CLI interactively
glab duo cli --install

# Install GitLab Duo CLI non-interactively (auto-confirm)
glab duo cli --install --yes

# Check for and install a Duo CLI update
glab duo cli --update

Use --install to download and install the GitLab Duo CLI binaries. Use --yes to skip confirmation prompts during installation, which is useful for automation and CI/CD pipelines.

Interactive and headless modes

# Interactive, multi-prompt session with build and plan modes
glab duo cli

# One bounded prompt for a runner, script, or automated workflow
glab duo cli run --goal "Fix the failing tests in this project"

# Wrapper help versus the installed Duo CLI's own command surface
glab duo cli --help
glab duo cli help

Use headless run --goal only with a bounded task, an isolated working tree, explicit stop conditions, and an independent review of the resulting changes. glab passes unknown arguments and flags through to the Duo CLI binary, so verify the installed Duo CLI's own help before relying on forwarded options.

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.
