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

emergency-release-workflow scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Emergency Release Workflow Skill

Summary

Fast-track workflow for critical production issues requiring immediate deployment. Covers urgency assessment, expedited PR process, deployment verification, and post-incident analysis.

When to Use

  • Critical production bugs affecting users
  • Security vulnerabilities (CVEs)
  • Urgent business requirements
  • Data integrity issues
  • Service outages
  • Payment processing failures

Urgency Assessment

Priority Levels

Level Type Response Time Deployment Example
P0 Security vulnerability < 2 hours Immediate to production Auth bypass, data leak, active exploit
P1 Production down < 4 hours Same day App crash, complete feature failure, payment down
P2 Major bug < 24 hours Next business day Critical feature broken, significant user impact
P3 Business critical < 48 hours Scheduled release Marketing campaign blocker, partner deadline

P0 Criteria (Immediate Action)

  • Authentication/authorization bypass
  • Data breach or exposure
  • Remote code execution vulnerability
  • Production service completely unavailable
  • Data corruption affecting multiple users
  • Payment processing completely broken

P1 Criteria (Same Day)

  • Critical feature completely broken
  • Error affecting majority of users
  • Revenue-impacting bug
  • Database connectivity issues
  • Third-party integration failure (critical service)

P2 Criteria (Next Business Day)

  • Major feature partially broken
  • Affects specific user segment
  • Workaround available but not ideal
  • Performance degradation (not complete failure)

Emergency Release Process

1. Create Hotfix Branch

# Branch from current production (main)
git checkout main
git pull origin main

# Create hotfix branch
git checkout -b hotfix/ENG-XXX-brief-description

# Example:
git checkout -b hotfix/ENG-1234-fix-auth-bypass

2. Implement Minimal Fix

⚠️ CRITICAL: Minimal change only

DO:
✅ Fix the immediate issue
✅ Add regression test
✅ Document root cause in comments

DON'T:
❌ Refactor surrounding code
❌ Fix unrelated issues
❌ Add new features
❌ Update dependencies (unless that's the fix)

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.
