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 scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

name: github description: GitHub via gh — issues, PRs, reviews, search, and CI runs. Use when: user mentions a repo, issue, PR, review, release, workflow run, or anything on github.com. invocation: model+user

GitHub

When to use

Any GitHub work: read or triage issues, open or review PRs, search code, check CI runs, manage releases.

Setup

Requires the gh CLI, authenticated. Fail loud when it is missing:

gh auth status || gh auth login

Never proceed with curl against api.github.com as a silent fallback — gh owns auth, pagination, and output shape.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the repo (owner/name) and, for mutations, the exact target.
  2. Read: gh issue view, gh pr view, gh pr diff, gh search, gh run view.
  3. Mutate only when asked: gh issue create, gh pr create, gh pr review, gh pr merge. Mutations need explicit user intent, not inference.
  4. Quote what gh returned; never summarize a diff or check rollup you did not read.

Non-goals

  • Do not merge, close, or approve on your own initiative.
  • Do not invent issue/PR numbers or check conclusions.
  • Do not push, retag, or rewrite history without explicit authorization.
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.
