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-style 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 yesterday.

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.

Git Commit Style

Conventions for writing git commit messages and pull request descriptions. Project-specific conventions always take priority.

Subject Line

  • Try to keep under 50 characters total
  • No trailing period
  • Lowercase imperative verbs: fix, add, remove, use, avoid, ensure, adjust, allow, enable, extract, introduce, show, move, roll
  • Capital letter only when starting with a proper noun or class name — never capitalize verbs
  • Embed the "why" directly when possible: avoid enlarging small images, avoid double-save on withdraw
  • Technical identifiers kept verbatim: config.x.asset_file_uploadable, event_submission_open?
  • Arrow notation for renames: ops-lb: rknw -> rknet

Keeping Under 50 Characters

Techniques when the subject runs long:

  • Drop add when the subject already names the primary new thing: site-sessions: SiteSession model not … add SiteSession model — keep add when supplementing existing code (specs, logging)
  • Omit secondary artifacts when the primary deliverable is clear: site-sessions: SiteSessionIssuance service not … service and background jobs — mention omitted parts in the body
  • & over and: PrimarySession & User changes
  • Drop qualifiers the prefix already provides: site-sessions: PrimarySession & User changes not … for site sessions

Contextful Verbs

Prefer specific verbs over generic ones:

  • avoid or address over fix for preventive changes
  • extract over refactor when pulling out a concern/class
  • introduce over add when creating a new concept/abstraction
  • reflect over update when syncing with external state
  • gains for new capabilities (component as subject): SponsorEvent: gains hero image upload
  • learns for new options/parameters: TitoApi: learns v3.1 pagination
  • no longer for behavioral removals: event_submission_open? no longer gates asset uploads
  • roll for dependency updates and referenced image/git tag updates, releng for release engineering, trigger for CI/build triggers
    • roll is short for "roll out": the object is what gets rolled, followed directly by the version, never to: roll sorah/glazed 0.3.0, roll himari-lambda image 5b9d6b9, not roll image to 0.3.0

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.
