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-issue-creator 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 3d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub Issue Creator

Turn messy input into a clean issue, draft in chat, create with gh on approval.

Repo

Resolve from git remote get-url origin (repo name can differ from folder name). Never guess owner/repo. Before any gh write: gh auth status; active account must match the one project instructions require.

Create flow

  1. Find templates: .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/* (.yml forms or .md). Read config.yml too (blank_issues_enabled: false → must use a template).
  2. Pick the template that fits. Several fit → ask.
  3. Missing required template fields (version, device, steps…) → ask all in one batch. Never guess. Unknown → write Not provided.
  4. Build body:
    • .yml form → one ### <field label> section per field, same order as the form. gh issue create --template cannot fill forms, so mirror them. Include every required field.
    • .md template → gh issue create --template or copy its structure.
    • No template → fallback below.
  5. Labels: gh label list --repo <repo>. Apply template labels: plus existing labels that clearly fit (e.g. accessibility). Never create labels. State which were applied.
  6. Title: match style of gh issue list --repo <repo> --limit 10.
  7. Show draft (title, labels, body) in chat. Create only after user OK: gh issue create --repo <repo> --title ... --label ... --body-file - (heredoc).
  8. Reply with issue URL.

Fallback template (no repo template)

Drop sections with nothing to say.

Edit flow

Issue body may hold images or text the user added after creation. Rewriting from memory destroys them.

  1. gh issue view <n> --repo <repo> --json title,body,labels first, every time.
  2. Edit only the parts requested. Keep everything else verbatim: <img>, ![](...), user-attachments URLs, user's manual edits.
  3. Labels untouched unless asked.
  4. Placeholder <!-- drag the screenshot here --> → remove once body has media; else leave.
  5. Show what changed (before/after of edited parts) before gh issue edit <n> --body-file -.

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.
