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-pr 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create PR

Open a new GitHub pull request for the current branch using the repo's PR template if one exists. Defaults to --draft.

1. Preconditions

  • Current branch must be pushed to a remote. If git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u} fails, run git push -u origin HEAD first.
  • Skip creation if a PR already exists for the branch: gh pr view --json number 2>/dev/null returns 0. In that case the caller likely wants gh pr edit instead.

2. Detect PR template

Check for a template in this order and use the first match:

  1. .github/pull_request_template.md
  2. .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
  3. docs/pull_request_template.md
  4. pull_request_template.md (repo root)
  5. .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/*.md. If multiple, prefer one matching the dominant commit type (feature.md or feat-* for feat: commits, bugfix.md for fix:, etc.). If still ambiguous, ask the user which to use.

Filename matching is case-insensitive on macOS but case-sensitive on Linux; check both common cases.

If none found, use the standard body in step 4.

3. Determine title

Use Conventional Commits format derived from the branch's commits (git log <base>..HEAD):

  • Single commit: use its subject line verbatim.
  • Multiple commits: synthesize one conventional-commit-style title covering the change. Keep under 72 chars.

4. Generate body

Apply terse-output to the body: bullets over prose, no filler ("just", "really"), no hedge openers ("I noticed that…", "You might want to consider…"). Lead with what changed and why; skip implementation play-by-play.

With template: read the template file and fill its sections from the diff (git diff <base>...HEAD) and commit history. Preserve the template's structure, headings, comments, and checklists exactly. Leave checklist items unchecked unless the work demonstrably satisfies them. For sections that do not apply, mark them N/A only if the template requires a value; otherwise leave the section body empty.

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.
