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

respond-github 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 4d 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

Respond to VCS Issue/PR/MR

Post a response to a GitHub issue/PR or GitLab issue/MR.

Provider detection: Check the URL or remote:

  • If GitHub → use gh issue comment / gh pr comment
  • If GitLab → use glab issue note / glab mr note

Arguments

  • issue-or-pr-number-or-url: Either a number (e.g., 123) or a full URL

Workflow

  1. Parse the input — if given a URL, extract owner, repo, type (issue/PR), and number. If just a number, determine type from current repo context.
  2. Ensure repo is cloned to /workspace/personal/<repo-name> (clone with gh repo clone if needed).
  3. Get full context — read the original description and all comments in the thread.
  4. Understand what's being asked — if this is from @agent-swarm, focus on what was asked in that mention.
  5. Formulate and post your response using gh issue comment / gh pr comment (or glab equivalents).

Decision Framework

  • What specific question or request needs addressing?
  • Do you need to provide code examples?
  • Should you ask clarifying questions?
  • Is this something you can resolve, or do you need human input?

Tips

  • Check if there's already a PR addressing an issue before responding
  • For complex requests, acknowledge receipt and outline your plan
  • If you've completed work, link to the relevant PR or commit

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.
