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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00102 | $0.01954 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00782 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00391 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00195 |
Grade A, and why
ci-cd-patterns 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

CI/CD Patterns
Best practices and anti-patterns for CI/CD pipelines, focusing on GitHub Actions but applicable to other CI systems. Run the linter on every workflow file before review; use this prose guidance to explain findings and propose fixes.
Purpose
- Ensure pipelines are fast, reliable, and secure
- Prevent common mistakes that cause build failures or security issues
- Establish patterns for maintainable pipeline configurations
Core Patterns
Pattern 1: Parallel Job Execution
When to use: Multiple independent tasks in pipeline.
jobs:
lint:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- run: npm run lint
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- run: npm test
# Only deploy after all checks pass
deploy:
needs: [lint, test]
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: ./deploy.sh
Pattern 2: Dependency Caching
When to use: Repeated dependency installation across runs.
- name: Cache dependencies
uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: ~/.npm
key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-node-
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
Pattern 3: Safe Deployments with Health Checks
deploy:
steps:
- name: Deploy
run: kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
- name: Wait for rollout
run: kubectl rollout status deployment/app --timeout=5m
- name: Health check
run: curl -f https://app.example.com/health || exit 1
- name: Rollback on failure
if: failure()
run: kubectl rollout undo deployment/app
Anti-Patterns
Anti-Pattern 1: Hardcoded Secrets
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| WHY | Secrets in code are exposed in logs, version history, and forks. Security breach risk. |
| DETECTION | API keys, passwords, tokens directly in workflow files. |
| FIX | Use GitHub Secrets. Reference via ${{ secrets.NAME }}. |
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.
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.

ci-cd-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot (14 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,954 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
