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

git-create-hotfix 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.

Hotfix Environment Setup and Branch Creation

This prompt automates hotfix environment setup from a specific commit hash, creates proper branching, PR, and documentation for critical production issues.

🎯 HOTFIX SETUP OBJECTIVES:

  1. STAGE current environment safely and preserve work-in-progress
  2. CREATE hotfix branch from specified commit hash
  3. GENERATE documentation and issue tracking automatically
  4. CREATE pull request with proper templates and requirements
  5. CONFIGURE environment for hotfix development workflow

📋 REQUIRED INPUTS:

Commit Hash Input:

**REQUIRED**: Provide the specific commit hash to create the hotfix from:

**Target Commit Hash**: [COMMIT_HASH]
**Commit Message**: [Brief description of the target commit]
**Commit Date**: [When this commit was made]
**Reason for Selection**: [Why this specific commit for the hotfix]

Hotfix Details:

**Issue ID**: [PROD-123, SEC-456, etc.]
**Severity**: [CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM]
**Brief Description**: [payment-timeout, auth-bypass, etc.]
**Estimated Complexity**: [SIMPLE/MEDIUM/COMPLEX]
**Business Impact**: [Revenue/Security/User Experience]

🛠️ AUTOMATED ENVIRONMENT SETUP:

STEP 1: Environment Staging and Preservation

Current Work Preservation:
# Check current git status and stage everything safely
echo "🔍 Checking current git status..."
git status --porcelain

# Stash any uncommitted work with descriptive message
echo "💾 Preserving current work..."
TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
git stash push -m "PRE_HOTFIX_WORK_${TIMESTAMP}_$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"

# Record stash information for later restoration
STASH_REF=$(git stash list | head -n 1 | cut -d: -f1)
echo "📝 Work stashed as: $STASH_REF"

# Create restoration script
cat > .hotfix_restoration.sh << EOF
#!/bin/bash
# Hotfix restoration script - generated $(date)
echo "Restoring pre-hotfix work..."
git stash pop $STASH_REF
rm .hotfix_restoration.sh
echo "✅ Pre-hotfix work restored"
EOF
chmod +x .hotfix_restoration.sh

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.
