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-profile 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.

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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Profile Optimizer

This skill audits a GitHub profile and generates an optimized profile README along with recommendations for metadata, pinned repositories, and stats widgets. A strong GitHub profile is a developer's storefront — it shapes perception before anyone reads a line of code.

Code recipes live in AGENTS.md — read it when you need to implement a specific fix. This file has the workflow and audit checklist.

Workflow

  1. Gather profile context — Understand who this person/org is and what they want to showcase
  2. Audit the current profile — Score every element of the profile's public presence
  3. Generate the profile README — Write a polished, scannable README.md
  4. Recommend metadata and configuration — Advise on bio, pinned repos, settings, and widgets
  5. Verify — Confirm rendering, badge URLs, and summarize next steps

Phase 0: Gather Context

Determine profile type

Ask the user (if not obvious): is this a personal profile or an organization profile? The mechanics differ significantly:

Feature Personal profile Organization profile
README location username/username/README.md .github/profile/README.md
Visibility options Public only Public + member-only (via .github-private repo)
Pinned repos Up to 6 Up to 6 public + 6 member-only
Contribution graph Yes No
Achievements Yes No

Collect information

Gather before writing: username, current role/company, primary technologies, what they want to showcase, tone (professional/casual/creative/minimal), and target audience (recruiters/collaborators/investors/OSS community).

If gh is available (gh auth status), pull automatically:

  • gh api user — name, bio, company, location, blog, twitter
  • gh api users/{username}/repos?sort=stars&per_page=10 — top repos for pin recommendations
  • gh repo view {username}/{username} --json name 2>/dev/null — check if magic repo exists

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.
