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

conventional-commits 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.

Conventional Commits

This skill provides guidance for writing Git commits that follow the Conventional Commits specification (v1.0.0).

Purpose

Conventional Commits is a specification for adding human and machine-readable meaning to commit messages. It provides an easy set of rules for creating an explicit commit history, which makes it easier to understand project changes and improve collaboration.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Creating Git commits
  • Reviewing commit messages in PRs
  • Writing clear, structured commit messages
  • Collaborating on projects with multiple contributors

Commit Message Structure

Basic Format

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Examples

feat: add user authentication
feat(api): add JWT token generation
fix: resolve memory leak in image processor
docs: update README with setup instructions
refactor(database): optimize user query performance

Commit Types

Primary Types

feat - A new feature for the user

feat: add export to PDF functionality
feat(api): add webhook signature verification

fix - A bug fix for the user

fix: resolve login redirect loop
fix(api): handle null response from GitHub webhook

docs - Documentation only changes

docs: update API endpoint documentation
docs(readme): add troubleshooting section

style - Changes that don't affect code meaning (formatting, whitespace)

style: format code with StandardRB
style(css): update button padding

refactor - Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature

refactor: extract user validation to service object
refactor(models): simplify tenant scoping logic

perf - Performance improvements

perf: add database index for user lookups
perf(queries): reduce N+1 queries in artifacts index

test - Adding or updating tests

test: add specs for user authentication
test(integration): add webhook processing tests

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.
