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-message 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 19d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Commit Message Generation

Generate clear, concise commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification.

Read the changes with git diff --cached (or git diff when nothing is staged), git status and git log for the repository's style, then output the message. Don't stage, format, commit or amend anything unless the user explicitly asks for it.

Do not mention the AI assistant in the commit message (eg., "Co-authored-by: AI Assistant"). Instead, focus on the changes made, their purpose, and any relevant context.

Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Rules

  • type: Required, lowercase — feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, chore, ci, build, revert
  • scope: Optional, lowercase, in parentheses — module/component name
  • subject: Required, lowercase, imperative mood, no period, max 72 chars
  • body: Optional, wrap at 72 chars, explain what and why (not how)
  • footer: Optional — BREAKING CHANGE:, Closes #123, Co-authored-by:

Type Selection

Question Type
Adding functionality? feat
Fixing a bug? fix
Documentation only? docs
Code cleanup/restructure? refactor
Improving performance? perf
Tests only? test
CI/build/deps? ci / build / chore

Commit Principles

  • Atomic commits — one logical change per commit
  • Independently revertable — each commit meaningful on its own
  • Squash noise — merge "fix typo" / "address review" before merging
  • Never mix unrelated changes in one commit

Examples

feat(auth): add password reset functionality
fix(api): resolve null pointer in user endpoint
feat(api)!: change user endpoint response format

BREAKING CHANGE: The user endpoint now returns an object instead of an array.
feat(payment): integrate stripe payment gateway

- Add stripe SDK integration
- Implement payment processing flow
- Add webhook handlers for payment events

Closes #234

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.
