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

apex-github-operations 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 today.

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

GitHub Operations

Full contribution lifecycle — from branch creation to PR merge. gh CLI preferred (always available in this dev container); MCP tools as fallback for operations with no gh equivalent (rich PR review thread management, bulk GraphQL queries).

Steps

1. Create branch (naming convention) →
2. Make changes →
3. Commit (conventional commits) →
4. Push (pre-push hooks validate branch + scope) →
5. Create PR (gh CLI) →
6. Review + Merge

Rules

  1. Identify the operation (issue, PR, search, Actions, release, etc.)
  2. Use gh CLI by default — always available in this dev container; the more stable primitive
  3. Fall back to MCP only when gh cannot satisfy the operation (rich PR review threads, bulk GraphQL, Copilot review requests)
  4. Validate branch name before any commit or PRgit rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD; if invalid, stop and rename via git branch -m
  5. Conventional Commits are mandatory — enforced by commitlint
  6. Devcontainer: do not run gh auth unless explicitly asked to troubleshoot authentication. Use configured CLI credentials; never request tokens through chat or switch identity implicitly.
  7. Never skip hooks (--no-verify) unless the user explicitly asks

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.
