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

gh-pr-code-review 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 10d 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.

Review GitHub Pull Request

Review a GitHub Pull Request using the gh CLI and provide a comprehensive report with suggestions.

CRITICAL: MANDATORY FIRST STEPS

YOU MUST follow these steps IN ORDER. DO NOT skip any step:

Step 1: Get PR Details (MANDATORY)

Use the gh CLI to gather PR information:

  • IF user provides a PR number → Run gh pr view <number> --json title,body,changedFiles,reviews,comments
  • IF no PR number provided → Run gh pr view --json title,body,changedFiles,reviews,comments to get the current branch's PR

DO NOT proceed without PR metadata.

Step 2: Get Code Diff (MANDATORY)

Get the actual code changes using git:

  1. Run gh pr view <number> --json baseRefName,headRefName to get the base and head branch names
  2. Run git fetch origin to ensure remote refs are up to date
  3. Run git diff origin/<baseRefName>...origin/<headRefName> to get all code changes

This is your primary source of truth for the actual code changes.

Step 3: Get CI/CD Status (MANDATORY)

Run gh pr checks <number> to get CI/CD status.

CRITICAL WARNINGS:

  • DO NOT attempt to review the PR without completing Steps 1-3 first
  • DO NOT use context or memory — use ONLY the output from these commands
  • DO NOT modify the PR

Step 4: Additional Context (Optional)

You MAY read relevant files in the workspace for additional context if needed.

Step 5: Generate Report (MANDATORY)

Provide the review report directly in the chat (do NOT create files).

Review Focus Areas (in priority order):

  1. 🔴 Correctness - Logic errors, bugs, edge cases
  2. 🟠 Security - Vulnerabilities, unsafe practices
  3. 🟡 Code Quality - Clarity, maintainability, best practices
  4. 🟢 Style - Consistency, formatting, naming conventions

Response Guidelines:

  • Use concrete examples with code snippets
  • Quote the original code when suggesting changes
  • Provide suggested fixes using unified diff format (see below)
  • Include up to 3 questions for the PR author if clarification is needed
  • Conclude with a merge recommendation (Safe to merge / Needs changes / Blocking issues)

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.
