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

gh 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.

Repository

gh repo view                               # View repo info
gh repo clone <owner/repo>                 # Clone repo
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>                # Raw API access

Workflow Runs

gh run list                                # List recent runs
gh run view <id>                           # View run details
gh run watch <id>                          # Watch run in progress
gh search repos "<query>"                  # Search repos
gh search issues "<query>"                 # Search issues
gh search prs "<query>"                    # Search PRs

Best Practices

  • Check before creating: Search existing issues/PRs before creating duplicates
  • Use labels: Filter and organize with labels
  • Link issues: Reference issues in PR descriptions with Fixes #N
  • Review CI: Always check gh pr checks before merging

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.

gh is a skill published in the GitHub repository agents-squads/squads-cli (55 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 402 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
