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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.05737	$0.05737
Opus 5.5	$0.02295	$0.02295
Sonnet 5.5	$0.01147	$0.01147

Security

Grade A, and why

git-feed CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

Project Overview

GitHub Feed is a Go CLI tool for monitoring GitHub pull requests and issues across repositories. It tracks contributions, reviews, and assignments with colorized output and real-time progress visualization.

The tool is also called "GitAI" in the README (branding name), but the binary is github-feed.

Build & Run

# Build the binary
go build -o github-feed .

# Run directly (fetches from GitHub API)
./github-feed

# Run with flags
./github-feed --time 3h        # Show items from last 3 hours
./github-feed --time 2d        # Show items from last 2 days
./github-feed --time 3w        # Show items from last 3 weeks
./github-feed --time 6m        # Show items from last 6 months (default: 1m)
./github-feed --time 1y        # Show items from last year
./github-feed --debug          # Show detailed API logging instead of progress bar
./github-feed --local          # Use local database instead of GitHub API (offline mode)
./github-feed --links          # Show hyperlinks underneath each PR/issue
./github-feed --ll             # Shortcut for --local --links (offline mode with links)
./github-feed --clean          # Delete and recreate the database cache
./github-feed --allowed-repos="owner/repo1,owner/repo2"  # Filter to specific repos

Configuration

The tool requires a GitHub Personal Access Token with repo and read:org scopes (not needed in --local mode). Configuration is loaded from:

Environment variables: GITHUB_TOKEN or GITHUB_ACTIVITY_TOKEN, and GITHUB_USERNAME or GITHUB_USER
Config file at ~/.github-feed/.env (automatically created on first run)

Database location: ~/.github-feed/github.db (automatically created on first run)

First Run: The tool automatically creates ~/.github-feed/ directory with:

.env file with template for credentials (permissions: 0600)
github.db database for caching GitHub data (permissions: 0666)
Directory permissions: 0755

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.
