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

summarize-changes 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 15d 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

Context

  • Current branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Default branch: !git remote show origin 2>/dev/null | grep 'HEAD branch' | cut -d' ' -f5 || echo "main"
  • Git user: !git config user.email 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"
  • Today's commits (all authors): !git log --oneline --since="midnight" 2>/dev/null || echo "No commits today"
  • This week's commits (all authors): !git log --oneline --since="1 week ago" 2>/dev/null | head -20
  • Branch commits (vs origin's default branch): !git log --oneline origin/HEAD..HEAD 2>/dev/null | head -20
  • Files changed on branch: !git diff --stat origin/HEAD...HEAD 2>/dev/null | tail -5

Task

Generate a clear, concise summary based on the scope:

  1. today: What I did today (for standup)
  2. week: Weekly summary (for reports)
  3. branch: All changes on this branch (for PR)
  4. pr: Full PR description with sections

For today and week, report only the git user's own commits: re-run the log with --author=<git user> using the address shown above. If the two branch lists above are empty, compute them against the default branch shown above.

Format the output as:

  • Summary: 1-2 sentence overview
  • Changes: Bullet list of key changes
  • Files: Main files affected
  • Impact: What this enables or fixes

Scope: $ARGUMENTS

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.
