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

au-e8-posture 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.

nyann:doctor

Run nyann's read-only hygiene + documentation audit on the current repo. Emits the same drift sections retrofit uses, but never offers remediation or writes to the filesystem. Use this on session start, in CI, or any time you want to sanity-check a repo without risking mutations.

thettwe/nyann · 61 tokens

nyann:retrofit

Audit an existing repo against a profile and fix what's drifted. Unlike doctor (read-only), retrofit detects missing hooks, misconfigured gitignore, documentation gaps, and non-compliant history, then offers to remediate via bootstrap. Idempotent — safe to re-run.

nyann:ship

Open a GitHub pull request AND merge it in one step. Default uses GitHub's native auto-merge (returns immediately with outcome:"queued"); --client-side polls for green CI in the foreground then runs gh pr merge. Requires gh installed + authed.

thettwe/nyann · 63 tokens

nyann:hotfix

Create the branch topology for a patch release against a previously tagged version. Ensures release/ . exists from the source tag, then creates hotfix/ off it. After this, the user commits the fix and runs /nyann:release from the hotfix branch.

nyann:fleet-retrofit

Bulk remediation across the fleet registry: classify every repo (clean / drifted / ungoverned / error), then walk them worst-first fixing drift — and, with --bootstrap-missing, bootstrapping un-governed repos — with a preview and an explicit confirmation PER REPO. There is no "yes to all"; each repo writes its own…
