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

ship 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 14d 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.

ship — close out the active milestone

You are running the SHIP step of the workflow. Your job is to take the milestone's open PR — built up one commit at a time by /next-issue — and land it on the default branch, then verify that all milestone issues auto-closed and close the milestone.

This step is host-neutral: same contract on Claude and Codex. The verbs are gh and git.

Arguments

Parse these from the user's invocation (any order):

Arg Required Default Meaning
--repo <owner/name> no current repo via gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq .nameWithOwner Target GitHub repo
--milestone <title> no the active milestone (resolved as in /next-issue) Restrict to this milestone
--pr <N> no the open PR whose milestone matches Override PR pick
--no-delete-branch no false (delete) Keep the feature branch after merge
--no-close-milestone no false (close) Leave the milestone open after merge
--dry-run no false (act) Print what would happen, change nothing

Default behavior is to act, not dry-run — landing the PR is the point of the verb. --dry-run is for "show me the ship checklist" without merging.

What "active milestone" means

Same resolution as /next-issue:

  1. List open milestones: gh api "repos/<owner>/<repo>/milestones?state=open" --jq '.[].title'.
  2. One open → pick it.
  3. Multiple → ask the user, listing them with open-issue counts.
  4. Zero → tell the user there's nothing to ship and stop.

What "the milestone's PR" means

gh pr list --repo <owner>/<repo> --state open \
  --json number,headRefName,milestone,isDraft,title \
  --jq '.[] | select(.milestone.title == "<title>")'
  • Exactly one open PR with that milestone → use it.
  • More than one → ask the user which to ship.
  • Zero → suggest /next-issue (no work has landed yet) and abort.

If --pr <N> is passed, fetch that PR and verify its milestone matches.

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.
