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

repo-bootstrap 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 10d 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.

Repo Bootstrap

Purpose

Create well-structured, production-ready project scaffolds with appropriate tooling, CI/CD, documentation, and conventions for any tech stack.

When to Use

  • User asks to set up a new project or repository
  • User wants a scaffold for a specific tech stack
  • User needs best-practice project structure

When NOT to Use

  • User needs improvements to an existing repository without scaffolding from scratch
  • User only wants one isolated file template and no broader project setup

Inputs

Required:

  • Project type — what's being built (API, web app, CLI tool, library, etc.)
  • Tech stack — language/framework preferences

Optional:

  • Team size and conventions
  • CI/CD platform preference (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
  • Deployment target (AWS, GCP, Vercel, etc.)

Process

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Understand the project type, stack, and any organizational conventions.

Step 2: Design Structure

Plan the directory layout following the stack's conventions and best practices.

Step 3: Validate Design Readiness (Before Scaffolding)

Apply common-skills/design-readiness-gate.md for language, database, architecture pattern, and logging/observability baseline decisions.

If key decisions are open, scaffold only requirement/spec structure and block coding scaffold tasks in agent.todo.md.

Step 4: Generate Files

Create all scaffold files including: README, LICENSE, .gitignore, CI config, linting config, folder structure, and starter code.

Step 5: Add Documentation

Include README with setup instructions, CONTRIBUTING guide, and architecture notes.

Step 6: Validate

Run linters and build tools to ensure the scaffold is immediately usable.

Output Format

Complete directory structure with all files. Ready to git init and push.

Quality Checks

  • Generated structure matches the requested language/framework conventions
  • Setup commands in README are runnable on a clean machine
  • CI, linting, and formatting configs are present and coherent
  • No placeholder values remain in generated docs or configs
  • Pre-coding design readiness decisions are recorded or unresolved items are explicitly blocked

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.
