What is it for?
Use it to publish Markdown, code, or other files as public or secret Gists, choose the displayed filename, get the link, or open it in a browser.

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-gist 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/publish_gist.py), 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Gist Publisher

Publish any file as a GitHub Gist for easy sharing.

Prerequisites

Uses gh CLI by default. Ensure you're authenticated:

gh auth status
# If not authenticated: gh auth login

Fallback: Set GITHUB_GIST_TOKEN env var with gist scope.

Usage

# Publish file as secret (unlisted) gist - DEFAULT
python3 scripts/publish_gist.py /path/to/file.md

# Publish as public gist (visible in your profile)
python3 scripts/publish_gist.py /path/to/file.md --public

# Custom description
python3 scripts/publish_gist.py /path/to/file.md -d "My awesome note"

# Override filename in gist
python3 scripts/publish_gist.py /path/to/file.md -f "readme.md"

# From stdin
echo "Hello" | python3 scripts/publish_gist.py - -f "hello.txt"

# Just get URL
python3 scripts/publish_gist.py /path/to/file.md --url-only

# Create and open in browser
python3 scripts/publish_gist.py /path/to/file.md --open

Options

Flag Description
--public Create public gist (default is secret/unlisted)
-d, --description Gist description
-f, --filename Override filename
--url-only Output only URL
--open Open in browser
--api Force API instead of gh CLI

Output

{
  "url": "https://gist.github.com/user/abc123",
  "id": "abc123",
  "public": false,
  "filename": "file.md"
}

Files

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.
