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-commit-helper 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.

Git Commit Helper Skill

This skill generates clear, consistent, and informative commit messages following industry standards and best practices. Use this whenever you need to commit changes, review staged files, or ensure commit history quality.

Core Principles

1. Conventional Commits Standard

Follow the Conventional Commits specification:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

2. Atomic Commits

  • Each commit should represent ONE logical change
  • Changes should be self-contained and reviewable
  • Avoid mixing unrelated changes
  • Keep commits small and focused

3. Clear Communication

  • Messages should explain WHAT changed and WHY
  • Anyone reading the history should understand the change
  • Use imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
  • Be specific, not vague

Commit Types

Standard Types

Type Description Example
feat New feature for the user feat(auth): add OAuth2 login support
fix Bug fix fix(api): resolve null pointer in user lookup
docs Documentation only docs(readme): update installation instructions
style Formatting, no code change style(lint): apply prettier formatting
refactor Code change without fix/feature refactor(utils): extract validation helpers
perf Performance improvement perf(db): add index for user queries
test Adding/updating tests test(auth): add unit tests for login flow
build Build system or dependencies build(deps): upgrade express to v5.0
ci CI/CD configuration ci(github): add automated testing workflow
chore Other changes (no src/test) chore(release): bump version to 2.0.0
revert Revert previous commit revert: feat(auth): add OAuth2 login support

Breaking Changes

Use ! after type/scope or BREAKING CHANGE: in footer:

feat(api)!: remove deprecated v1 endpoints

BREAKING CHANGE: The v1 API endpoints have been removed.
Migrate to v2 endpoints as documented in the migration guide.

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.
