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

maintainer-triage-and-review 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Maintainer triage and review

Use this skill for ongoing maintainer workflows and targeted repo-health improvements.

Primary inputs

  • issue templates
  • pull request templates
  • README.md
  • CONTRIBUTING.md
  • DEVELOPER.md or docs/development.md
  • labels, governance docs, and repository conventions
  • AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md and output from automated review bots

Instructions

Ongoing workflows

  1. Triage incoming issues by classifying them as bug, feature, question, docs, or support.
  2. Request missing reproduction steps, expected behavior, or environment details when needed.
  3. Review pull requests against the documented contribution and validation rules.
  4. Check whether contributor-facing docs still match actual repository behavior.
  5. Weigh findings from automated code review or compliance bots against the actual code before asking a contributor to act on them.

One-off improvements

  1. Audit whether a newcomer can understand the project from its top-level docs.
  2. Improve templates or contribution guidance when repeated confusion appears.
  3. Suggest clearer documentation paths for non-code contributions and beginner issues.

Recommendations to apply

  • Treat documentation, labeling, and review clarity as maintainer work, not just code review.
  • Encourage beginner-friendly issue labeling where appropriate.
  • Surface missing onboarding details that slow down first-time contributors.
  • Give specific, actionable feedback in a friendly tone, and invite the contributor's input on open design questions rather than dictating them.

Output format

Return one or more of:

  • triage notes and follow-up questions
  • review feedback grounded in repo conventions
  • documentation drift findings
  • a short list of maintainer improvements

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.
