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-rails-review-checklist 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 8d 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.

GitHub PR Rails Review Checklist

Review a GitHub Pull Request using the gh CLI and check its Ruby and Rails changes against the checklists below. This complements gh-pr-code-review (general correctness, security, clarity); it does not repeat that review.

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: Check Scope (MANDATORY)

If the PR diff contains no Ruby/Rails files (.rb, .rake, .erb, Gemfile, db/migrate/, config/ for a Rails app), output a single line saying there are no Ruby/Rails changes to check, and stop.

Step 6: Choose Review Mode (MANDATORY)

Check the size of the PR: count the changed files and lines, for example with --shortstat on the git diff command you used, or with gh pr view <number> --json additions,deletions,changedFiles. If it touches more than 15 files or more than 800 changed lines, or the user asked for subagents, use parallel subagents as described in Large Reviews: Parallel Subagents below. Otherwise, or if the user asked not to use subagents, review it yourself in a single pass.

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.
