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

git-expert 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 1mo 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.

Git Expert

Strategic git workflow decisions and branch management guidance.

Decision Framework

Workflow Selection

Gitflow - When to use:

  • Large teams with scheduled releases
  • Multiple versions in production
  • Need for hotfix support
  • Formal release process

Trunk-Based Development - When to use:

  • Small to medium teams
  • Continuous deployment
  • Fast iteration cycles
  • Feature flags available

GitHub Flow - When to use:

  • Web applications with continuous deployment
  • Simple, streamlined process needed
  • Single production version
  • Pull request-based workflow

GitLab Flow - When to use:

  • Environment-based deployments
  • Need for staging environments
  • Release branches for versions
  • Hybrid approach desired

Branching Strategy

Branch Naming Conventions:

  • feature/description - New features
  • bugfix/description - Bug fixes
  • hotfix/description - Production hotfixes
  • release/version - Release preparation
  • chore/description - Maintenance tasks

Branch Lifetime:

  • Feature branches: Short-lived (1-3 days)
  • Release branches: Medium-lived (1-2 weeks)
  • Hotfix branches: Very short-lived (hours)
  • Main/master: Permanent
  • Develop: Permanent (if using Gitflow)

Merge Strategy

Fast-Forward Merge - When to use:

  • Linear history desired
  • No merge commits wanted
  • Simple feature branches
  • Clean history priority

Merge Commit - When to use:

  • Preserve branch history
  • Track feature completion
  • Multiple commits in feature
  • Audit trail needed

Squash and Merge - When to use:

  • Clean main branch history
  • Multiple WIP commits
  • Single logical change
  • Simplified history desired

Rebase and Merge - When to use:

  • Linear history required
  • No merge commits
  • Clean commit history
  • Team comfortable with rebasing

Skill Delegation

For commit messages: Delegate to commit-message-generator skill

  • Generates conventional commit messages
  • Analyzes git diffs
  • Follows commit standards

For branching advice: Delegate to branch-strategy-advisor skill

  • Recommends branching approaches
  • Provides workflow guidance
  • Suggests naming conventions

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.
