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

create-ol-github-issue 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 yesterday.

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

Create a GitHub Issue (/olissue)

When the user runs /olissue, guide them through creating a GitHub issue in a mitodl repository using the org's standard issue templates.

Default organization

Always default to mitodl unless the user explicitly names a different org.

Step 1 — Gather required inputs

Ask the user for:

Field Notes
Repository e.g. ol-django — org is implied as mitodl
Issue type See template menu below
Title Short, imperative sentence
Body details Their text for each section of the chosen template

Ask in a single batched question covering everything missing — one round trip, not a sequence of one-field prompts.

Ask for the body text; don't invent it. The user knows what the issue is about and you don't. Ask for their words per template section and use them mostly as given — tighten wording and fix formatting, but do not expand a one-line answer into three paragraphs. Only draft a section yourself when the user asks you to or points you at source material (an error, a code path, a thread) — and then show the draft before creating the issue.

Blank sections: the templates below mark optional sections with <!--- optional — delete if empty --> (Possible Solution, Additional Details). Delete those when empty rather than padding them. Every other section is required — if one comes back blank, ask again for it instead of deleting it or filling it in yourself. An issue with no Steps to Reproduce is the thing this skill exists to prevent.

Step 2 — Choose a template

Present these four options and apply the matching template body:

# Name Labels Template file
1 Bug Report bug bug.md
2 Technical Issue (none) default.md
3 Product Issue (none) product.md
4 Design QA design QA designQA.md

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.
