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

PR Standards 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 7d 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

Purpose

A PR is the unit of review. A good description makes review fast and safe; a thin one makes reviewers guess at intent. This skill standardizes the description, the review depth, and the merge gate so nothing important is left to chance — and so a reviewer can verify the change matches its stated intent rather than trusting the summary.

When to use it

Any time you open, review, or merge a pull request.

PR description template

## Summary
<!-- One paragraph: what changed and why. -->

## Related issues
<!-- Closes: #N, Refs: #M -->

## Type of change
- [ ] feat (new feature)
- [ ] fix (bug fix)
- [ ] refactor (no behaviour change)
- [ ] test (tests only)
- [ ] docs (documentation)
- [ ] chore (tooling, deps, CI)
- [ ] security (security hardening)

## Testing
<!-- How was this tested? Commands run, manual steps, edge cases checked. -->

## Checklist
- [ ] Self-review completed
- [ ] Tests pass
- [ ] No secrets in the diff
- [ ] Docs updated if behaviour changed

Review depth

  • Read the diff, not just the description — verify the change matches the stated intent.
  • Check for behavioural regressions, missing verification, and scope creep (unrelated changes sneaking in).
  • For security-sensitive changes (auth, payments, data access, crypto), require a dedicated security review, not just a general pass.
  • Leave concrete, actionable feedback; approve only when you'd be comfortable owning the change.

Merge gate

  • At least one approving review before merging to a protected branch.
  • Stale reviews are dismissed when new commits are pushed — re-review after changes.
  • CI must pass before merge.
  • Prefer squash or rebase merge for a clean history; avoid merge commits on a linear-history branch.

Expected output

A PR that a reviewer can understand and verify from the description alone, reviewed to a depth proportional to its risk, and merged only when it passes the gate.

Changes

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.
