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-workflow 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Workflow

Commit Message Convention

Follow the Conventional Commits specification. This enables automated versioning, changelogs, and semantic releases.

Format

type(scope): short description

[optional body — explain the WHY, not the WHAT]

[optional footer — breaking changes, issue refs]

Types

Type When to Use
feat New feature
fix Bug fix
refactor Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
perf Performance improvement
test Adding or updating tests
docs Documentation only
chore Build process, dependency updates, tooling
ci CI/CD configuration changes
style Formatting, whitespace (no logic change)
revert Reverting a previous commit

Examples

feat(auth): add OAuth2 login with Google

fix(api): handle null response from payment gateway

refactor(db): extract query builder into separate module

docs(readme): update local setup instructions

chore(deps): upgrade dependencies to latest versions

Rules

  • Subject line: max 72 characters, imperative mood ("add" not "added")
  • Body: explain WHY the change was made, not what (the diff shows what)
  • Reference issue/ticket IDs in footer: Closes #123 or Refs US-2111704
  • If AI-assisted, note it: Co-authored-by: GitHub Copilot

PR Description Template

Every PR should answer three questions:

## What
Brief summary of what changed.

## Why
The business or technical reason for this change.

## How
Key implementation decisions or approach taken.

## Testing
How was this verified? (unit tests, manual testing, E2E)

## Checklist
- [ ] Tests added/updated
- [ ] No new security vulnerabilities introduced
- [ ] Documentation updated if needed
- [ ] No breaking changes (or documented if there are)

Branching Strategy

GitHub Flow (Recommended for most teams)

main
└── feature/US-1234-short-description
└── fix/bug-short-description
└── chore/update-dependencies
  • Branch from main, merge back to main via PR
  • Deploy from main continuously

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.
