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

oss-repo-maintainer 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 12d 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.

Oss Repo Maintainer

When to Use

  • User says fix README or task matches this capability
  • User says prep release or task matches this capability
  • User says repo maintenance or task matches this capability
  • User says sync docs or task matches this capability

Workflow

  1. Diff README skill/file lists vs git tree.
  2. Flag stale counts, missing install paths, broken links.
  3. Propose README and CHANGELOG edits; show diff before commit.
  4. Run validators (tests, skill validate) if present in repo.
  5. Suggest conventional commit message; hitl-approver before git push.

  • skill-collection-bootstrapper
  • goal-verifier

Error Handling

Failure Response
Not a git repo Limit to file review only.

Gotchas

  • Never push or publish without explicit user approval.

Safety & Ethics (Publication-Ready)

This skill is designed for public distribution. Constraints:

  • Documentation accuracy focus; no unauthorized releases.
  • Git push and publish require hitl-approver.
  • Generic OSS workflow; no hardcoded user or org paths in instructions.

Prohibited actions

  • No unauthorized access, malware, or harmful automation
  • No silent exfiltration of data, credentials, or telemetry
  • No destructive system changes without hitl-approver
  • No publication of user PII or environment secrets in outputs

Example

Input: User request matching triggers above. Output: Structured result per workflow; local artifacts only unless user opts in.

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.
