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

commit-msg 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 3d 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.

[optional footer]

Types

Type Use For
feat New feature
fix Bug fix
docs Documentation only
style Formatting, no code change
refactor Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds feature
perf Performance improvement
test Adding or updating tests
chore Maintenance tasks
ci CI/CD changes
build Build system changes

Scopes

See .omni-dev/scopes.yaml for the canonical, enforced scope list — do not duplicate it here.

Examples

Feature Addition

feat(json): add PFSM table-driven parser

Implements parallel finite state machine approach from hw-json-simd.
Achieves 880 MiB/s throughput on x86_64 (AMD Zen 4), 40-77% faster than scalar.

Bug Fix

fix(bp): correct find_close for edge case at word boundary

Fixes #42

Performance Improvement

perf(popcount): add AVX-512 VPOPCNTDQ implementation

5.2x faster than scalar for large bitvectors.
Requires Intel Ice Lake+ or AMD Zen 4+.

Refactoring

refactor(jq): replace deprecated last() with next_back()

Removes dead code and simplifies iterator handling.

Instructions

  1. Read the staged changes with git diff --cached
  2. Understand what changed and why
  3. Choose appropriate type and scope
  4. Write a concise subject line (50 chars ideal, 72 max)
  5. Add body if changes need explanation
  6. Include footer for breaking changes or issue references

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.
