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

github-issues 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 14d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Issues

Plan, read, and mutate GitHub issues from verified repository and remote state.

Workflow

Use gh for account selection, repository identity without printing raw remote URLs, bounded API calls, and request serialization when needed.

  1. Confirm the target: resolve the repository from the explicit URL or gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,visibility and state OWNER/REPO; never infer another repository from a similarly named checkout.

  2. Refresh current state before proposing a change:

    gh issue view <number> -R <owner>/<repo> --json number,title,body,state,stateReason,labels,assignees,milestone,url
    gh issue list -R <owner>/<repo> --state all --search '<distinct terms>' --limit 20 --json number,title,state,url
    
  3. Load discussion when relevant: fetch comments separately when decisions, acceptance criteria, or requested replies depend on them; preserve that context before editing. Narrow or paginate a search that reaches its limit before claiming no duplicate exists.

  4. Deduplicate: update the existing issue that represents the same outcome; keep reproduction, acceptance criteria, dependencies, decisions, and proof; drop stale logs and duplicate checklists.

  5. Draft before creating: for multiple findings or dependency-aware work, apply the backlog workflow and draft contract, present the reviewable set, and stop unless issue creation is already authorized.

  6. Apply one bounded mutation the user authorized. Write substantial bodies to a temporary file and pass --body-file; avoid shell interpolation and interactive prompts:

    gh issue create -R <owner>/<repo> --title '<title>' --body-file <body-file>
    gh issue edit <number> -R <owner>/<repo> --body-file <body-file>
    
  7. Verify from GitHub: re-read with gh issue view --json ..., compare the intended fields, and report the URL; a zero exit code alone is not proof of final state.

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.
