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

gf-release 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gf-release

CRUD wrapper for gf release. Manages GitHub/GitLab/GitCode releases — metadata only; tag must exist first. Delete is irreversible.

CLI Requirement

MUST use gf CLI, NOT gh CLI.

CLI Scope Platform Support
gf This project GitHub + GitLab + GitCode
gh GitHub only GitHub only

Why: gf is the unified CLI for this project. Using gh breaks GitLab/GitCode compatibility.

Preconditions

  • gf installed: command -v gf
  • gf authenticated: gf auth status

When to Use

English 中文 Context
/ create a release 创建 Release tag exists, needs publish
list releases 列出 Release review published versions
view / edit release 查看/编辑 Release metadata update
upload / download asset 上传/下载资源 binaries, archives
delete release 删除 Release rollback / mistake

When NOT to Use

Scenario Why Not Use Instead
Auto-generating changelog and version inference This skill manages Release CRUD, not version decision or changelog generation /gf-release-helper for SemVer inference + changelog + release creation
Creating Git tags This skill requires tags to exist first, never creates them git tag <v> + git push --tags for tag creation
Deleting without double confirmation This skill requires two confirmations before irreversible deletion Non-negotiable — always double-confirm tag before delete
Uploading non-existent files This skill verifies file existence before upload Verify file path exists before invoking upload
Running quality checks before release This skill manages release metadata, not quality verification /gf-quality for 6-gate quality check before release

Core Pattern

gf auth status
git tag -l <tag>
gf release <subcommand> ...

Quick Reference

Goal Command
Create gf release create --tag <tag> [--name <n>] [--body <b>] [--draft] [--prerelease] [--target <ref>]
List gf release list

Edit gf release edit <tag> [--name <n>] [--body <b>] [--draft] [--prerelease]
Upload gf release upload <tag> --file <path> [--asset-name <n>]
Download gf release download <tag> --asset <name> [--dest <dir>]
Delete gf release delete <tag>

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.
