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 Repo Setup 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 11d 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.

GitHub Repository Setup and Community Standards

This skill covers the best practices for setting up a robust, welcoming, and standardized repository, especially for open-source or team-based projects.

Essential Files

Every professional repository should include the following community health files at its root.

1. README.md

The entry point for the project. It should include:

  • Project Name and Description: What it does.
  • Badges: CI status, version, license.
  • Installation: How to set it up locally.
  • Usage: Basic examples of how to use the project.
  • Contributing: Link to the contribution guidelines.
  • License: The licensing information.

2. CONTRIBUTING.md

Guidelines for how others can contribute to the project.

  • How to set up the dev environment.
  • Coding standards and conventions.
  • How to submit a Pull Request.
  • How to report bugs (link to templates).

3. CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

Establishes expectations for behavior within the community to ensure a welcoming environment. The Contributor Covenant is a widely used standard.

4. LICENSE

Defines how others can use, modify, and distribute the code (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0, GPL).

Issue and PR Templates

Templates help standardize the information provided by users and contributors. Create them in the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ and .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md directories.

  • Bug Report Template: Prompts for steps to reproduce, environment, and expected behavior.
  • Feature Request Template: Prompts for problem description and proposed solution.
  • PR Template: Prompts for description, linked issues, and checklists.

Repository Settings

Configure the repository settings to enforce quality and security.

Branch Protection Rules (for main or master)

  • Require Pull Request reviews before merging: Enforce at least 1-2 approvals.
  • Require status checks to pass before merging: Ensure CI (tests, linters) passes.
  • Require conversation resolution before merging: Ensure all review comments are addressed.
  • Require linear history: Prevent merge commits if using squash/rebase strategy.
  • Include administrators: Enforce these rules even for repo admins.

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.
