Why use it?
It prevents unsafe or mistaken branch operations by replacing ad hoc commands with a defined process.

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

scion 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 4d 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.

Git-Town Fork Workflow — STOP AND READ

DO NOT ACT ON ASSUMPTIONS. Read this file first.

This is a prescriptive, gated workflow. Every step requires:

  1. Preflight check - Verify preconditions
  2. User confirmation - AskUserQuestion before action
  3. Validation - Verify action succeeded

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

⛔ WORKFLOW PHILOSOPHY

GIT-TOWN IS CANONICAL. RAW GIT IS FORBIDDEN FOR BRANCH OPERATIONS.

Operation ✅ Use ❌ Never Use
Create branch git town hack git checkout -b
Update branch git town sync git pull, git merge
Create PR git town propose Manual web UI
Merge PR git town ship git merge + push
Switch branch git town switch git checkout

Exception: Raw git for commits, staging, log viewing, diff (git-town doesn't replace these).


Phase 0: Preflight — MANDATORY FIRST

Execute this BEFORE any other action.

Step 0.1: Create TodoWrite

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.
