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

gentle-ai-comment-writer 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to comment-writer — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

Load this skill whenever you write a comment that another human will read.

Use it for:

  • GitHub PR or issue comments.
  • Review feedback and requested changes.
  • Maintainer replies.
  • Slack, Discord, or async project updates.

Voice Rules

Rule Requirement
Be useful fast Start with the actionable point. Do not recap the whole PR before feedback.
Be warm and direct Sound like a thoughtful teammate, not a corporate bot.
Keep it short Prefer 1 to 3 short paragraphs or a tight bullet list.
Explain why Give the technical reason when asking for a change.
Avoid pile-ons Comment on the highest-value issue, not every tiny preference.
Match target context language Write in the target context language by default: Spanish issue/thread -> Spanish comment, English issue/thread -> English comment, mixed context -> target message language. If the user explicitly requests a language or tone, follow that request. Do not use the active persona as the source of truth for public comments. For Spanish comments, use neutral/professional Spanish by default unless the user or target context clearly calls for regional tone.
No em dashes Use commas, periods, or parentheses instead.

Comment Formula

<Direct observation or request>

<Why it matters, only if needed>

<Concrete next action>

Examples

Request change

Good approach overall. I'd split this into a separate commit because it mixes validation logic with UI wiring.

That keeps the reviewer's focus narrower and makes rollback cleaner if the integration fails.

Approve with a note

Approved. The scope is clear and the change is well-contained.

For the next PR, add links to the previous and following PRs so the chain stays navigable.

Ask for split

This PR exceeds the 400-line budget, so we need to split it or justify `size:exception`.

Suggested order: foundation + tests first, then integration, then docs. That gives each review a clear start and end.

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.
