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-roast 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 6d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit Roast

A savage but accurate code review of your git commit history. Identifies real problems through the lens of a brutally honest senior engineer.

What it does

Reads your recent commits and delivers a roast that is 30% comedy, 70% real feedback:

  • Calls out vague messages ("fix", "update", "wip", "stuff")
  • Flags commit size issues (300-file commits, or 47 commits to change one line)
  • Spots patterns: late-night commits, "fix previous fix" chains, whitespace-only changes
  • Identifies the commit where you clearly gave up (usually commit 23 of 25 on a Friday)
  • Ends with 3 genuine suggestions to improve your commit hygiene

Example Output

Commit Roast — last 30 commits

THE HIGHLIGHTS:

"fix" — May 9, 2:47 AM
  A 47-file commit at 3 AM called "fix." Fix what? Fix everything?
  Fix your sleep schedule? We may never know.

"wip" (x4) — May 10
  Four consecutive WIP commits. You committed "wip" to main.
  To the main branch. Four times.
  This is not a draft. This is a published novel.

"update utils" — May 11
  Updated utils.ts. All 847 lines of it.
  One commit. 847 lines.
  Reviewers saw this and went home early.

"fix previous fix" — May 12
  The ouroboros commit. The fix that ate its own tail.
  The commit that proves the previous commit should not have existed.

WHAT YOU DID WELL:
  - Commits on May 8 were actually good. Specific, scoped, readable.
    "feat(auth): add refresh token rotation with 7-day expiry" — chef's kiss.
  - You rebased before the PR. Respect.

GENUINE FEEDBACK:
  1. Your commit messages average 4 words. Aim for 8-12. Subject + brief why.
  2. Three "wip" commits = one real commit. Squash before pushing.
  3. 2 AM commits average 3x more "fix" commits the next morning. Sleep first.

VERDICT: B-  (was A- before the 3 AM incident)

Usage

Roast my last 30 commits.
Be honest about what is bad, but make it funny.
End with 3 real actionable suggestions.
Severity: medium (not mean, not toothless)

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.
