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

glab 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 272 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

glab - GitLab CLI

Command-line interface for GitLab. Binary name: glab.

Repository Context

glab auto-detects the GitLab project from the git remote in the current directory. Override with --repo (-R):

glab mr list                              # auto-detected from git remote
glab mr list -R group/project             # explicit project
glab mr list -R group/namespace/project

Identifying MRs

MR commands accept an MR IID number, a branch name, or nothing (current branch):

glab mr view 123           # by MR IID
glab mr view feature-x     # by branch name
glab mr view               # current branch's MR

Files for tool arguments

For any glab argument longer than a few words (MR descriptions, comments, job logs), put the content in a file and pass it via "$(cat <path>)" instead of inlining. Edits stay cheap, and the Write tool diff shows the user exactly what changed between revisions.

  • If the content already exists as a file on disk, use it directly — do not copy it to /tmp first.
  • When generating new content, write it to /tmp/<unique-slug>.md including the MR number, branch name, or job name (e.g., /tmp/mr-desc-123.md, /tmp/glab-job-build-123.log). Never use generic names like /tmp/mr-description.md — they collide across MRs.
  • Reuse the same file for the same MR/entity across edits.

Creating a Merge Request

glab mr create --fill --fill-commit-body --yes -b main --draft -a user1 --reviewer user2 -l bug
Flag Short Description
--title -t MR title
--description -d Description ("-" opens editor)
--fill -f Use commit info, auto-push branch
--fill-commit-body Include all commit bodies (with --fill)
--draft Create as draft
--assignee -a Assign by username (comma-separated or repeated)
--reviewer Request review by username
--label -l Add labels
--milestone -m Assign milestone
--target-branch -b Target branch
--source-branch -s Source branch (default: current)
--push Push branch before creating
--remove-source-branch Remove source branch on merge
--squash-before-merge Squash commits on merge
--related-issue -i Link to issue IID
--copy-issue-labels Copy labels from linked issue
--yes -y Skip confirmation prompt
--web -w Continue in browser

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.
