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

git-workflow-and-versioning 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 9d 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 Workflow and Versioning

Overview

Git history is documentation. A well-structured commit history lets you understand what changed, why it changed, and who changed it — weeks or months later. This skill covers commit practices, branching strategies, pull request quality, and semantic versioning.

When to Use

  • Writing commit messages
  • Creating feature branches
  • Preparing pull requests for review
  • Planning a release or version bump
  • Reviewing git history to understand context

Commit Messages

The Conventional Commits Format

<type>(<scope>): <short description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Types:

Type When to Use
feat New feature or capability
fix Bug fix
docs Documentation changes only
style Formatting, whitespace (no logic change)
refactor Code restructuring (no feature, no bug fix)
test Adding or fixing tests
chore Build process, dependencies, tooling
perf Performance improvement
ci CI/CD configuration changes

Examples:

# Good: clear type, scope, and description
git commit -m "feat(tasks): add priority levels to task creation"
git commit -m "fix(auth): handle expired tokens gracefully"
git commit -m "refactor(api): extract validation middleware"
git commit -m "docs(readme): add deployment instructions"

# With body for non-obvious changes
git commit -m "fix(tasks): prevent duplicate task creation on fast double-click

Added debounce to the create button click handler and optimistic
update deduplication in the React Query mutation. The underlying
API already had idempotency guards, but the UI was sending multiple
requests before the first one resolved.

Fixes #234"

# Breaking changes
git commit -m "feat(api)!: change task status enum values

BREAKING CHANGE: Status values changed from 'todo/done' to
'pending/completed' to match the new backend schema.
Migrate existing data with: npm run migrate:status"

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.
