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

release 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 12d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/github release

Releases a claimed GitHub issue back to the available pool, allowing other swarms to claim it.

Usage

/github release <issue_number> [reason]

Arguments

  • <issue_number> - Issue to release (required)
  • [reason] - Why you're releasing it (optional but recommended)

Examples

/github release 45
/github release 45 "Blocked by dependency"
/github release 45 "Need expertise in WASM optimization"
/github release 45 "Higher priority task came up"

When to Release

  • Blocked by dependencies
  • Realized you lack required expertise
  • Higher priority work emerged
  • Can't complete within reasonable time
  • Found it's duplicate of another issue

Implementation

Uses GitHub MCP to:

  1. Verify you currently own the task
  2. Remove swarm-claimed label
  3. Post release comment with reason
  4. Make task available again

Example Interactions

Basic Release

> /github release 45

🔓 Released issue #45
Task now available for other swarms

With Reason

> /github release 45 "Need WASM expertise - better suited for specialized swarm"

🔓 Released issue #45
Posted: "Released - Need WASM expertise"
Suggested area: wasm specialists

With Handoff

> /github release 45 "Partially complete - see PR #120 for progress so far"

🔓 Released issue #45
Posted handoff notes for next swarm
Progress preserved in PR #120

Release Message Format

🔓 Task Released by swarm `<your-id>`

Reason: <your reason>

Progress made:
- Analyzed the issue
- Started implementation
- See branch: feature/issue-45

Available for other swarms to continue.

---
Released at: <timestamp>

Best Practices

  1. Always provide a reason
  2. Document any progress made
  3. Link to branches/PRs with partial work
  4. Suggest what expertise is needed
  5. Release promptly when blocked

Partial Work

If you made progress:

  1. Push your branch
  2. Create draft PR
  3. Reference in release message
  4. Help next swarm continue

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.
