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

github-growth scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GITHUB-GROWTH — как мы продвигаемся на GitHub

ЗАЧЕМ: Миссия №2 — чтобы нас заметили и позвали. GitHub — главная витрина: нанимающий смотрит туда, а не в резюме. Считаем ВХОДЯЩИЙ КОНТАКТ, не активность.

Шаг 0. Гейты (30 секунд, до первой буквы)

  • RECALL по репо/человеку: были ли мы там, кому уже писали (gh search prs --author tonydzi, память, outreach_log.py check).
  • Прерывание №1: живой человек ответил на наше прошлое исходящее → отвечаем ЕМУ сегодня, всё остальное ждёт (pr_watch).
  • Автономия: GitHub-коммуникацию и код шлю САМ, без «+» и без гейта [коллега]. Tier-2 остаётся: CLA/DCO и любое юр. подписание, деньги, удаление чужого, масс-действия.
  • ⛔ Красная черта: покупка звёзд/форков, фиктивные коммиты, любое действие ради сдвига цифры вместо создания события.

Шаг 1. Выбрать поверхность ПО ЧИТАТЕЛЮ, не по звёздам

gh api "repos/OWNER/REPO/issues/comments?per_page=30&sort=created&direction=desc" \
  --jq '.[] | "\(.created_at[:10]) @\(.user.login): \(.body[:70]|gsub("\n";" "))"'

Живая = за последние недели пишут РАЗНЫЕ люди по делу, среди них мейнтейнер. Мёртвая = спам/тишина. Замер 29.07: karpathy/llm-council 23 338★ — трекер свалка, идти некуда. karpathy/nanochat 56 757★, мержей нет с 14.04, но трекер живой → идём (и пошли: коммент в #800, PR #814).

Шаг 1-бис. ⭐ АУДИТ ЖИВОСТИ ЦЕЛИ — обязателен ДО первого вклада (DR-1537, 31.07)

Беглый взгляд на комменты — не аудит. Снять выборку: последние 30 внешних PR + 30 внешних issue, посчитать:

  • p50 и p90 времени до первого человеческого ответа (ботов исключить — так требует CHAOSS);
  • долю внешних PR, получивших человека за 7 дней;
  • merged / closed-unmerged;
  • число решений в месяц (не размер бэклога) и число уникальных живых ревьюеров;
  • сколько новичков получили мерж за 90 дней; есть ли issue-first процесс.

⛔ Kill-критерий: меньше 30% последних внешних вкладов получили человека за 14 дней → цель отложить, не заходить.

Именованный ранжир под нашу нишу (DR-1537, ChatGPT): modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk 5/5 · pydantic/pydantic-ai 5/5 (формализованный путь issue → champion → PLAN.md → assignment → PR) · openai/openai-agents-python 5/5 · huggingface/smolagents 4/5 · huggingface/transformers 3/5 · llama.cpp 3/5 · vllm 2.5/5 · ⛔ tldraw, godot — не цель, внешние PR закрыты/ограничены.

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.
