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

tracker-writing 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 today.

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

Tracker Writing: Jira issues, comments and pull requests

Text posted to a tracker is read by busy SEC members on a phone, in a notification, or in a list of fifty issues. Every word they do not need costs attention. This skill makes every Jira issue, Jira comment and GitHub PR short, structured the same way, and precise.

Style

  • Clear. One idea per sentence. Say what is wrong, where, and what should change.
  • Precise. Name the class, attribute, section or file. Quote the exact wording in question. Never paraphrase a spec statement when the exact words fit.
  • Consistent. Same structure every time, same order of parts, same labels. A reader who has seen one of our tickets can scan the next one.
  • Not wordy. No preamble, no restating what the reader already sees (the title, the diff, the parent ticket), no "please note", no closing thanks, no explanation of how the text was produced. Facts and asks only.

Hard caps

Text Cap Counted on
Jira issue body 120 words description field, all parts together
Pull request body 80 words PR description
Jira comment / PR review comment 40 words comment body
Jira summary / PR title 80 characters one line, no trailing period

Counting: every whitespace-separated token is a word; a URL or an issue key counts as one. Code spans count. Headings and list markers do not.

The caps are hard. The agent does not post text that exceeds them. When the content cannot fit without dropping something the reader needs, follow Over the cap below.

Over the cap

Some texts legitimately need more: a design proposal with options and a fallback, a reproduction with several steps, a review that lists many defects. The rule is:

  1. Draft the text in the short form first. Remove context, repetition and hedging before removing facts.
  2. If it still does not fit, do not post. Show the user the draft with its word count and ask one question: post the long form as is, or drop named parts to fit the cap.
  3. Post what the user chooses. Never cut silently, and never post a long form without that confirmation.

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.
