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

contributor-guide-writer 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 6d 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

Purpose

Draft comprehensive, beginner-friendly CONTRIBUTING.md guides, GitHub pull request templates, and issue templates to streamline open-source contributions and maintain repo code quality.

When to Use

  • Open-sourcing an internal project or launching a new public repository.
  • Improving contributor onboarding when PRs consistently fail CI or lack context.
  • Standardizing commit conventions and testing expectations for contributors.

What to Analyze

  1. Prerequisites & Tooling: Required Node/Go/Rust/Python versions, package managers, and global CLI tools.
  2. Local Setup Steps: Exact shell commands from git clone to running tests locally.
  3. Contribution Workflow: Branch naming, Conventional Commits format, PR checklist.
  4. Code Quality Standards: Running linters, formatters, typecheckers, and test suites before submitting.
  5. Community Etiquette & Code of Conduct: Guidelines for respectful interaction.

Output Format

  • Complete, markdown-formatted CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md content.
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ markdown schemas.

Avoid

  • Assuming contributors already know non-standard monorepo commands.
  • Overly restrictive walls of text that discourage community participation.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
