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

glab-quick-actions 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 7d 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.

glab quick-actions

Use GitLab quick actions (slash commands) via the glab CLI to batch multiple state changes in a single API call.

Quick start

# Post a single quick action on an issue
glab issue note 123 -m "/assign @alice"

# Batch multiple quick actions in one comment
glab issue note 123 -m "/assign @alice
/label ~bug ~priority::high
/milestone %\"Sprint 5\""

# Post quick actions on a merge request
glab mr note 456 -m "/assign_reviewer @bob
/label ~needs-review
/estimate 2h"

Key concept: batching via CLI

While glab has native commands for many individual operations (glab issue update, glab mr update, etc.), posting quick actions via glab issue note or glab mr note lets you batch multiple state changes atomically in a single API call.

# Native commands — 3 separate API calls
glab issue update 123 --assignee @alice
glab issue update 123 --label bug,priority::high
glab issue update 123 --milestone "Sprint 5"

# Quick actions — 1 API call, same result
glab issue note 123 -m "/assign @alice
/label ~bug ~priority::high
/milestone %\"Sprint 5\""

When batching is the right choice:

  • Applying 3+ changes to a single issue/MR
  • Scripting triage workflows across multiple items
  • Triggering actions not exposed by glab update flags (e.g., /spend, /epic, /promote_to)

Syntax rules

Rule Detail
Prefix Every quick action starts with /
Case Case-insensitive (/Assign = /assign)
Placement One command per line; can appear anywhere in a comment/description
Parameters Separated by space after the command name
Labels Prefix with ~ (e.g., ~bug, ~"priority::high")
Milestones Prefix with % (e.g., %"Sprint 5")
Users Prefix with @ (e.g., @alice, @me)
MR/Issue refs Prefix with # for same-project, group/project#IID for cross-project
Epics Prefix with & (e.g., &42)
Quoting Use quotes for multi-word values: ~"priority::high", %"Sprint 5"
Ignored text Non-quick-action lines are posted as normal comment text

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.
