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

git-workflow 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/workflow-commands.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Git Workflow Standards

This document defines the project's Git usage standards, including commit message format, branch management strategy, workflows, merge strategies, and more. Following these standards improves collaboration efficiency, enables traceability, supports automation, and reduces conflicts.

Commit Message Standards

The project follows the Conventional Commits specification:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

Type Reference

Type Description Example
feat New feature feat(user): add user export functionality
fix Bug fix fix(login): fix captcha not refreshing
docs Documentation update docs(api): update API documentation
refactor Refactoring refactor(utils): refactor utility functions
perf Performance improvement perf(list): optimize list performance
test Test related test(user): add unit tests
chore Other changes chore: update dependency versions

Subject Rules

  • Start with a verb: add, fix, update, remove, optimize
  • No more than 50 characters
  • No period at the end

For more detailed conventions and examples, see references/commit-conventions.md.

Branch Management Strategy

Branch Types

Branch Type Naming Convention Description Lifecycle
master master Main branch, releasable state Permanent
develop develop Development branch, latest integrated code Permanent
feature feature/feature-name Feature branch Delete after completion
bugfix bugfix/issue-description Bug fix branch Delete after fix
hotfix hotfix/issue-description Emergency fix branch Delete after fix
release release/version-number Release branch Delete after release

Branch Naming Examples

feature/user-management          # User management feature
feature/123-add-export          # Issue-linked feature
bugfix/login-error              # Login error fix
hotfix/security-vulnerability   # Security vulnerability fix
release/v1.0.0                  # Version release

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.
