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

close 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Close

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. close vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

Complete the current in-progress issue with a summary comment. For issues where skill files were modified, use /commit instead — it closes the issue and creates a git commit in one step.

State Dependencies

Source Location Read Write Description
GitHub Issues Current repo Yes Yes Close issue
GitHub Labels status:* Yes Yes Update status

Process

Step 1: Check for Uncommitted Changes

git status --short

If SKILL.md files appear in the output, warn:

"There are modified skill files (git status). Run /commit instead to create a git commit alongside closing this issue."

Let user confirm they want to close without committing.

Step 2: Find In-Progress Issue

gh issue list --label "status:in-progress" --state open --json number,title --limit 5

If multiple in-progress, ask which to close. If none, report "No issue currently in progress."

Step 3: Get Summary

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the summary. Otherwise ask:

"What was accomplished? Brief summary for the closing comment."

Step 4: Add Completion Comment

gh issue comment $NUMBER --body "## Completed

$SUMMARY

---
*Closed via /close*"

Step 5: Update Labels and Close

gh issue edit $NUMBER --remove-label "status:in-progress" --add-label "status:done"
gh issue close $NUMBER --reason completed

Step 6: Confirm

## Closed: #$NUMBER — $TITLE

$SUMMARY

Next: `/backlog` to see remaining work, or `/claim` for the next issue.

Error Handling

Error Action
No in-progress work Report and suggest /claim
Multiple in-progress List them, ask which to close
Modified skill files Recommend /commit before closing

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.
