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

issue-triage 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 370 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Issue Triage

Workflow in 3 phases: automatic audit → opt-in deep analysis → actions with mandatory user validation.

When to Use

Skill Usage Output
/issue-triage Triage, analyze, and comment on issues Action tables + deep analysis + posted comments
/repo-recap General recap to share with the team Markdown summary (PRs + issues + releases)

Triggers:

  • Manually: /issue-triage or /issue-triage all or /issue-triage 42 57
  • Proactively: when >10 open issues without triage, or issue stale >30d detected

Language

  • Check the argument passed to this skill
  • If fr or french → output tables and summary in French
  • If en, english, or no argument → English (default)
  • Note: GitHub comments (Phase 3) are ALWAYS in English (international audience)

Preconditions

git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
gh auth status

If either fails, stop and explain what's missing.


Phase 1 — Audit (always executed)

Data Gathering (parallel commands)

# Repo identity
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner

# Open issues with full metadata
gh issue list --state open --limit 100 \
  --json number,title,author,createdAt,updatedAt,labels,assignees,body,comments

# Open PRs (for cross-reference)
gh pr list --state open --limit 50 --json number,title,body

# Recently closed issues (for duplicate detection)
gh issue list --state closed --limit 20 \
  --json number,title,labels,closedAt

# Collaborators (to protect maintainer issues)
gh api "repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators" --jq '.[].login'

Collaborators fallback — if gh api .../collaborators fails (403/404):

gh pr list --state merged --limit 10 --json author --jq '.[].author.login' | sort -u

If still ambiguous, ask the user via AskUserQuestion.

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.
