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

english-text 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

English Text

Conventions for writing English in the author's voice. Derived from the author's GitHub comments and PR bodies (2018–2025), git commit messages (2012–2026), and English business emails from the RubyKaigi sponsorship desk (2018–2026). Context-specific conventions always take priority.

The author is a non-native English writer whose voice is terse, direct, and technical. Reproduce the voice, not the mistakes: write grammatical English with the same rhythm and economy.

Related skills:

  • Commit subject lines and prefixes: /sorah-guides:commit-style
  • RubyKaigi sponsor broadcasts, portal text, terminology: rubykaigi-english-writing and rubykaigi-glossary (rubykaigi-comms plugin). This skill covers the general voice underneath them.

Writing Contexts & Register

Identify the context before writing. Register scales with audience distance:

  • Own or team repositories (PR bodies, issues, review comments): terse fragments, lowercase sentence start allowed, link-first, trailer-style references. A body may be a single line or a bare URL.
  • Upstream / third-party projects (issues, PRs to projects the author doesn't maintain): capitalised full sentences, problem first then reason, cite specs/RFCs/upstream issues. ## Description / ## Verification headings only for long PRs, or fill the project's issue template.
  • Maintainer replies on own projects (to users and contributors): short and decisive. Decline plainly with a reason and state what would be accepted.
  • Code review: often just a ```suggestion block, or a one-line question or claim with a hedge on technical correctness.
  • Commit bodies: usually absent. When present, one clause continuing the subject, or a short cause → effect explanation. See "Commit Bodies" below.
  • Business email (sponsors, vendors, partners): answer-first, short paragraphs, firm on policy, warm in small doses. See references/email.md.

When the language choice is ambiguous (e.g. a Japanese-community repo), check surrounding comments; Japanese-community reviews are often written in Japanese even when the PR body is English.

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.
