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

branch-naming-guide 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.

Git Branch Naming Guide

Format

<prefix>/<kebab-case-description>

Prefix Reference

Prefix When to use Example
feature/ New functionality, user-facing changes feature/user-auth
bugfix/ Non-critical bug fixes bugfix/fix-login-redirect
hotfix/ Urgent production fixes hotfix/fix-payment-crash
release/ Release preparation release/1.2.0
docs/ Documentation only docs/update-api-readme
test/ Tests only (no feature code) test/add-auth-coverage
chore/ Config, CI, deps, tooling chore/upgrade-dependencies
refactor/ Code restructuring (no behavior change) refactor/extract-auth-service

Rules

  1. Prefix required — always use one of the prefixes above
  2. Kebab-case — lowercase only, hyphens as separators, no underscores or spaces
  3. Descriptive — brief but clear (feature/auth is too short; feature/add-oauth2-google-login is good)
  4. Max 60 characters (project default, configurable)
  5. Ticket number — include if required by project config (e.g., feature/JIRA-123-add-oauth)

Quick Naming Tips

  • Use present tense: feature/add-login not feature/added-login
  • Be specific: bugfix/fix-null-pointer-in-cart not bugfix/fix-bug
  • Skip "the", "a", "an": feature/user-settings not feature/the-user-settings-page

Good vs Bad Examples

Bad Good Reason
my-feature feature/my-feature Missing prefix
Feature/UserAuth feature/user-auth Wrong case
feature/user_auth feature/user-auth Underscore → hyphen
fix bugfix/fix-login-error Too vague, missing prefix
feature/implementing-the-new-very-long-user-authentication-flow-page feature/user-oauth-login Too long

Checking Project Config

If .claude-plugin/git-branch-naming.json exists in the project, it may override:

  • Allowed prefixes
  • Required ticket pattern (e.g., JIRA-\d+, #\d+)
  • Max branch name length
  • Enforcement mode (ask vs deny)

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.
