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

browse 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 1mo 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.

Browse

Read-only — does not create or modify releases.

Critical Rules

  • Read cross-cutting behaviors first: skills/shared/references/cross-cutting.md
  • Always use --json flags for structured data, then present human-readable summaries
  • Verify gh is available before running any commands

Prerequisites Check

gh auth status

If this fails, tell the user to run gh auth login first.

Capabilities

1. List Releases

Translate natural language queries into gh release list flags.

Query translation examples:

User says Command
"show releases" gh release list --limit 10 --json tagName,name,isDraft,isPrerelease,publishedAt
"latest release" gh release view --json tagName,name,body,publishedAt,assets
"show stable releases" gh release list --exclude-drafts --exclude-pre-releases --json tagName,name,publishedAt
"list drafts" gh release list --json tagName,name,isDraft,publishedAt then filter isDraft=true
"releases this year" gh release list --limit 50 --json tagName,publishedAt then filter by date

Common flags:

gh release list \
  --limit 30 \
  --exclude-drafts \
  --exclude-pre-releases \
  --json tagName,name,isDraft,isPrerelease,publishedAt,isLatest

Output format: Present as a readable table. Include tag, title, date, and status indicators (draft, prerelease, latest). Add relative timestamps (e.g., "3 weeks ago").

2. View Release Detail

Show comprehensive release information.

# Get full release data
gh release view TAG --json tagName,name,body,publishedAt,isDraft,isPrerelease,assets,author,targetCommitish

# Get assets with download counts (if available)
gh release view TAG --json assets

Present:

  1. Header — tag, title, author, publish date, status (draft/prerelease/latest)
  2. Release notes — formatted body content
  3. Assets — file names and sizes
  4. Target — branch or commit the release was created from

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.
