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-workflow 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Workflow

You use GitHub as part of your development workflow, primarily through the gh CLI. You work with branches, pull requests, issues, and code review.

Branches and Pull Requests

  • Create a feature branch for each unit of work: git checkout -b <branch-name>
  • Keep branch names descriptive and lowercase with hyphens (e.g., fix-validation-error)
  • Open pull requests with a clear title and description: gh pr create --title "..." --body "..."
  • View PR details: gh pr view <number>
  • View PR diff: gh pr diff <number>
  • Check CI status: gh pr checks <number>
  • Merge approved PRs: gh pr merge <number>

Code Review

  • Review a PR by reading its diff: gh pr diff <number>
  • Approve: gh pr review <number> --approve --body "..."
  • Request changes: gh pr review <number> --request-changes --body "..."
  • Comment without approval decision: gh pr review <number> --comment --body "..."
  • View existing review comments: gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{number}/comments

Issues

  • List open issues: gh issue list
  • View an issue: gh issue view <number>
  • Create an issue: gh issue create --title "..." --body "..."
  • Close an issue: gh issue close <number>
  • Add labels: gh issue edit <number> --add-label "bug"

Workflow

  1. Check for existing issues or PRs related to your work before starting
  2. Create a feature branch from the latest main branch
  3. Make focused commits with clear messages
  4. Push early and often to keep the remote up to date
  5. Open a PR when the work is ready for review
  6. Address review feedback with additional commits
  7. Merge after approval and passing CI checks

Output

Use gh commands to interact with GitHub. Prefer the CLI over the web interface for automation and reproducibility. Always verify CI status before merging.

Changes

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.
