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

pr-standards 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 6d 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.

Pull Request Standards

Define and enforce PR best practices to keep reviews fast, thorough, and productive. Small PRs with clear descriptions get reviewed faster and have fewer bugs.

When to Use

  • Creating a pull request
  • Setting up PR templates for a repository
  • Establishing team review guidelines
  • Configuring branch protection rules
  • Discussing why PRs are too large or reviews are slow

Core Patterns

PR Size Limits

Keep PRs small and focused. Target under 400 lines of meaningful changes.

Size Guidelines:
  XS  (1-50 lines)    - Typo fix, config change, one-liner bug fix
  S   (51-200 lines)   - Small feature, focused bug fix, single-file refactor
  M   (201-400 lines)  - Standard feature, multi-file change
  L   (401-800 lines)  - Large feature (split if possible)
  XL  (800+ lines)     - Too large. Must be split into smaller PRs.

Lines counted: Additions + deletions in application code.
Excluded from count: Lock files, generated code, snapshots, migrations.

Strategies for splitting large PRs:

1. Layer-by-layer: Database schema -> Backend API -> Frontend UI
2. Feature flags: Merge incomplete features behind flags
3. Refactor-then-feature: Separate refactoring PR from feature PR
4. Vertical slices: One complete user story per PR

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.
