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

maintain-ai-guidance 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What is this?

Use this skill when changing repository AI guidance, .github/agents/ profiles, or .github/skills/ workflows and indexes. It covers guidance ownership, agent permissions and handoffs, and the difference between static documentation checks and live-client behavior. It does not authorize running the feature-delivery chain or changing application behavior.

Follow the shared skill guidance, including repository instructions and AI rules. Use update-github-workflows when CI behavior also changes. For executable checker or Make changes, also use maintain-development-tooling.

Table of Contents ᐞ

Guidance map ᐞ

Inspect the affected source and its consumers, not just the requested file:

  • README AI inventory: canonical navigation and reading order.
  • AGENTS.md: repository-wide actionable requirements; Copilot instructions are its entry point.
  • CLAUDE.md: architecture and workflow context.
  • AI rules: guidance ownership, recurrence, non-overlap criteria, and CI alignment.
  • Skills index and shared guidance: skill format, inventory, and common preparation, validation, and handoff.
  • Feature-agent guide and profiles: lead, architect, implementer, and verifier.
  • scripts/check-skills.py, the check-skills and lint-markdown Make targets, and .github/workflows/main.yml: actual documentation-check coverage and execution environment. Inspect scripts/tests/ for existing regression coverage when changing tooling; do not assume every checker already has a test suite.

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.
