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-branch 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 11d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Branch

Create a git branch with the correct type prefix and a descriptive name following Sentry conventions.

Step 1: Get the Username Prefix

Run gh api user --jq .login to get the GitHub username.

If the command fails (e.g. not authenticated), ask the user for their preferred prefix.

Step 2: Determine the Branch Description

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the description of the work.

If no arguments, check for local changes:

git diff
git diff --cached
git status --short
  • Changes exist: read the diff content to understand what the work is about and generate a description.
  • No changes: ask the user what they are about to work on.

Step 3: Classify the Type

Pick the type from this table based on the description:

Type Use when
feat New user-facing functionality
fix Broken behavior now works
ref Same behavior, different structure
chore Deps, config, version bumps, updating existing tooling — no new logic
perf Same behavior, faster
style CSS, formatting, visual-only
docs Documentation only
test Tests only
ci CI/CD config
build Build system
meta Repo metadata changes
license License changes

When unsure: feat for new things (including new scripts, skills, or tools), ref for restructuring existing things, chore only when updating/maintaining something that already exists.

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.
