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

headsup-config 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/headsup-config: headsup settings hub

One entry point for every headsup setting. The first word of the arguments selects a section; the rest is that section's own arguments, passed straight through to the same backing helper the dedicated skill uses. The focused skills (/headsup-colors, /headsup-label, /headsup-notifications) still exist and auto-trigger on natural phrasing; this is the unified manual entry point, and it is the ONLY skill for the New Claude Tab launch mode (there is no separate /headsup-newtab-args).

Sections

Section What it sets Backing helper
newtabs New Claude Tab (Cmd-Opt-C) launch mode ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-newtab-args.sh
codextabs New Codex Tab launch mode ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-newtab-args.sh --codex
colors idle / processing / waiting tab colors (global) the /headsup-colors procedure
label this tab's title + badge (per-session) ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-set-label.sh
notify the "Claude is waiting" macOS notification ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-notifications.sh

Accepted section aliases: newtab/autorun -> newtabs; codex/codextab -> codextabs; color -> colors; title/badge -> label; notifications -> notify.

What to do when invoked

  1. Parse the arguments. The first whitespace-delimited token is the section; everything after it is rest (may be empty). Map aliases to a canonical section above.

  2. No section, or show / status / help: show every current setting, then stop. Run these (read-only) and summarize the output:

    ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-newtab-args.sh --show
    ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-newtab-args.sh --codex --show
    ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-notifications.sh            # prints current notify state
    grep -E '^(IDLE|PROCESS|WAIT)_COLOR=' ~/.claude/hooks/headsup-status.conf
    

    Also note the current per-session label is whatever /headsup-label last set (mention it is per-tab). List the sections so the user knows what they can change.

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.
