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

github 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 today.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to github — 54 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 287 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Platforms: GitHub

Guides GitHub for parasite SEO, GEO (AI citation), and curated list creation. GitHub is a Tier 2 Technical Authority platform—high domain authority, fast indexing, very high AI citation probability. Use for repos, README, GitHub Pages, gists, and Awesome-style navigation lists.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Why GitHub for SEO

Factor Effect
Domain authority High DA; repos, gists, Pages rank well
Fast indexing Search engines crawl GitHub frequently
AI citation ChatGPT, Perplexity cite GitHub for technical queries; Tier 2 in GEO framework
Technical expertise Strong expertise signals; structured docs become AI reference material
Cross-platform Share across Dev.to, Stack Overflow, forums; amplifies visibility

Use Cases

Use case Format Purpose
Parasite SEO Repos, README, Pages, gists Leverage GitHub authority for rankings and backlinks
GEO Documentation, tutorials, curated lists AI tools cite GitHub for technical answers
Curated / navigation lists Awesome-style repos Topic-specific resource directories; backlinks, discovery

Surfaces: profile vs repository

Surface What it is Optimization focus
Profile README Public repo with the same name as the username; root README.md renders on the profile Personal brand, flagship links, social proof
Pinned Up to 6 repos or gists on the profile Showcase top projects; align with entity signals (entity-seo)
Per-repo README Root README.md on each repo’s Code tab Product landing; install, proof, CTAs

Changing a normal repo README does not change the profile banner unless that content is the profile README repo or linked from it.

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.
