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-discussions 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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to a-list-apart — 32 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: writer-platform-github-discussions description: Write platform-specific drafts for GitHub Discussions using its dedicated language, length, tone, format, and community rules.

GitHub Discussions Writer

Use this skill when the target platform is github-discussions / GitHub Discussions. This is the platform-specific writing capability for that website, not a generic adapter.

Knowledge To Load

  • knowledge/platforms/github-discussions.md
  • skills/adapter-community-discussion/SKILL.md
  • knowledge/styles/community-post.md
  • templates/base/discussion.md
  • templates/platforms/github-discussions/ when a platform override template exists
  • knowledge/rules/anti-spam.md
  • knowledge/rules/no-auto-publish.md
  • knowledge/rules/disclosure.md
  • knowledge/rules/factual-accuracy.md

Inputs

  • Project brief matching schemas/project-brief.schema.json, or a base draft matching schemas/platform-draft.schema.json.
  • Any user-provided assets, links, screenshots, metrics, code snippets, or launch details.

Platform Binding

  • Platform slug: github-discussions
  • Recommended adapter: adapter-community-discussion
  • Primary language code: en
  • Categories: community-discussion
  • Target audience: developers

Writing Contract

  1. Load knowledge/platforms/github-discussions.md first and treat it as the source of truth for this website.
  2. Extract the site's required language, regional spelling, expected length, tone, accepted content shapes, formatting conventions, required assets, and banned patterns.
  3. Use adapter-community-discussion only as a helper pattern. If the generic adapter conflicts with github-discussions, the platform profile wins.
  4. Match the site's expected content length. Short-post platforms must stay short; long-form editorial or tutorial platforms must provide enough depth, evidence, and structure.
  5. Match the site's voice. Preserve literary, technical, formal, skeptical, educational, founder-led, visual, or community-native tone when the profile asks for it.
  6. Use only facts from the brief, base draft, loaded knowledge, templates, and user-provided materials. Do not invent URLs, metrics, version numbers, names, screenshots, testimonials, or claims.
  7. Include required placeholders only when a platform field is mandatory but the fact is missing, and set status to needs_review.
  8. Remove content types listed as poor fit for this platform. If the project is fundamentally unsuitable, return a needs_review draft explaining the fit problem instead of forcing a post.
  9. Do not publish or imply that publication has happened.

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.
