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

commit-standards 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 4d 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

Git Commit Standards

Cursor/AI MUST follow these rules when writing git commit messages.

1. Conventional Commits format

Every commit message must adhere to the Conventional Commits specification. Format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>

Allowed Types:

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only changes (e.g., Markdown files in skills/)
  • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
  • chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries

2. Subject Line Rules

  • Use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes".
  • Do NOT capitalize the first letter.
  • Do NOT place a period . at the end.
  • Keep it under 50 characters.
  • If the change is complex, leave a blank line after the subject and write a detailed body.
  • Explain what and why, not how (the code explains how).

Example:

feat(enterprise): add release trains skill documentation

This standardizes the release schedule across all R&D departments,
preventing feature-driven deployment delays.

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.
