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

repo-scaffold 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 11d 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repo Scaffold

Initialize GitHub repositories with standard files and configuration. This skill generates LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, CODEOWNERS, .gitignore, .editorconfig, YAML-based issue templates, PR template, CI config skeleton, and optional safety files. It detects project type from existing files and adapts all templates accordingly.

When to Use

This skill should be used when:

  • Setting up a new GitHub repository from scratch
  • Adding missing standard files to an existing repository
  • Standardizing repository configuration across projects
  • Preparing a private repo for open-source release

Usage

/repo-scaffold [repo-path] [--license MIT|Apache-2.0|ISC] [--public] [--ci github-actions|none]
Flag Default Description
repo-path . (cwd) Path to the git repository root
--license MIT License type (MIT, Apache-2.0, ISC, GPL-3.0, BSD-2-Clause)
--public off Include .public-repo, .pii-allowlist, .commit-msg-blocklist
--ci github-actions CI provider skeleton (github-actions or none)

Procedure

Step 1: Validate Repo Path

Confirm the target path is an initialized git repository (contains .git/). If not, halt and inform the user. Never run git init without explicit permission.

Step 2: Scan Existing Files

Inventory the repo root and .github/ directory for any files this skill would generate. Build a conflict list. Never overwrite existing files. If conflicts exist, present them and ask which to skip or replace.

Step 3: Detect Project Type

Identify the primary language and tooling by checking for marker files:

Marker File Project Type
package.json Node.js / JavaScript / TypeScript
pyproject.toml, setup.py, requirements.txt Python
Cargo.toml Rust
go.mod Go
Multiple markers Multi-language
None of the above Generic

If multiple markers are found, treat as multi-language and combine relevant patterns.

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.
