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

release-and-publish 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 yesterday.

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 — 332 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preconditions

This skill runs after git wrapup. By the time it's invoked:

  • Pre-wrapup verification is done (field-test, security-pass, polish-docs-meta as applicable)
  • package.json version is bumped
  • changelog/<major.minor>.x/<version>.md is authored
  • CHANGELOG.md is regenerated
  • README and every version-bearing file is in sync
  • Release commit (chore(release): <version> — <theme>) is at HEAD — or, in gated release PR mode, reachable from HEAD with only the review pass's commits above it
  • No tag exists yet — this skill creates it (step 4)
  • Working tree is clean
  • Release PR mode (see git-wrapup's "Release PR mode"): HEAD is on release/<version>, the branch is pushed, the PR is open, and — in gated mode — the caller has confirmed the review pass is finished. Without that confirmation, halt: this skill never decides on its own that a review is done.

If any are missing, halt and tell the user to finish wrapup first. Do not attempt to redo wrapup work from inside this skill.

Failure Protocol

Steps 5–9 are network-bound. For those, retry transient failures up to 2 times with short backoff (~5 s before the first retry, ~15 s before the second) before halting. All other steps halt on the first non-zero exit — they're deterministic and a second attempt won't change the outcome.

Retry on transient patterns

Match stderr (case-insensitive) against any of these — if matched, the failure is almost always a network blip; retry:

  • integrity check failed / IntegrityCheckFailed — corrupt tarball during download
  • ECONNRESET / EAI_AGAIN / ETIMEDOUT / ENOTFOUND — network layer
  • connection reset / connection refused — transport blip
  • timed out / request timeout — server or network timeout
  • HTTP 502 / 503 / 504 — transient registry error

Docker retries (step 9) preserve shared build caches. Retry the failed build without pruning. If evidence points to a corrupt cached layer, retry that build with --no-cache; never run docker builder prune or other shared-resource cleanup as part of a release.
