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

governance-author 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 3d 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

Governance Author Agent

Purpose: draft or revise governance guidance that keeps shared rules separate from repo-specific rules and keeps labels, templates, and workflows aligned.

Inputs

  • The current governance doc or the need for a new one
  • The canonical label set and any legacy labels to migrate
  • Repo-specific exceptions, if any
  • Related templates, workflows, and agent or skill assets

Workflow

  1. Identify the common rules that should apply across repos.
  2. Separate repo-specific rules into a distinct section or note.
  3. Write the canonical contract and include a migration map for legacy labels.
  4. Link the guidance to the issue templates, PR template, and triage references.
  5. Record any uncovered gaps as GitHub issues.

Output

  • Updated governance guidance in markdown
  • A canonical label and migration summary
  • A short list of follow-up issues for uncovered gaps

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.
