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

github-profile-research 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

GitHub Profile Research

Research GitHub user profiles including repositories, contributions, languages, stars, and activity patterns. Useful for developer talent sourcing, open-source community research, and technical due diligence on engineering teams. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

For every selected tool, call sandbase_describe_tool first and use only arguments in its current input schema. Then call sandbase_call_tool with the exact tool_name.

Available Tools

  • strale_github_user_profile

Workflow

  1. Understand the user's research question, target, and context.
  2. Call sandbase_describe_tool for each selected tool to confirm parameter schema.
  3. Call sandbase_call_tool with the exact tool_name and schema-defined arguments.
  4. Synthesize findings into a clear, evidence-backed answer.
  5. Cite sources, note evidence gaps, and separate observations from interpretations.

Guidelines

  • Always call sandbase_describe_tool before using any capability.
  • Cite sources and preserve attribution (URLs, usernames, dates, metrics).
  • Separate factual observations from analysis and recommendations.
  • If data is unavailable, note the gap and continue with available evidence.
  • Read-only research only. Never take actions on platforms.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
