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

app-release-readiness 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.

App Release Readiness

Use this skill when a user asks to submit, push, package, upload an installer, or confirm that the latest app update is actually available.

Workflow

  1. Preflight the repository.

    • Run git status --short and identify unrelated changes.
    • Confirm branch, remote, version/tag policy, and whether this is a source commit, installer upload, or both.
    • Do not commit build artifacts unless the repo explicitly tracks them.
    • If the user asks to limit old GitHub Releases for a maintained desktop app and gives no other number, keep the newest 15 release records and do not delete git tags.
  2. Verify before packaging.

    • Run the smallest meaningful backend/frontend tests for the change.
    • Run full build checks when UI, packaging, provider, or app lifecycle code changed.
    • For desktop apps, include Rust/Tauri or native shell checks when present.
    • Scan for key-shaped secrets and private data when provider credentials, release notes, screenshots, or docs changed.
  3. Package with process safety.

    • Close or handle app/sidecar processes before overwriting binaries.
    • Prefer installers that fail on locked files over half-updated installs.
    • Ensure uninstall/update behavior does not delete user data by default.
  4. Inspect build outputs.

    • Record installer paths, sizes, and SHA256 hashes.
    • Compare expected sidecar/app binaries when stale-process or half-update bugs were part of the release.
    • Smoke-test the installed app when feasible.
  5. Commit and push deliberately.

    • Stage only intended source/docs changes.
    • Use a direct commit message that names the user-visible change.
    • Push the branch and verify the remote commit SHA before publishing source claims or release notes that point at the new version.
  6. Upload release assets when requested.

    • Use the repository's current release/tag policy.
    • Upload with replace/clobber only when the user asked for the latest asset to replace the old one.
    • Verify remote asset names and sizes after upload.
    • Download uploaded assets back from the release URL and verify SHA256 against the local artifacts before saying the release is current.

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.
