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

raise-pull-requests 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 2d 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.

Raise Pull Requests

Overview

A skill for raising pull requests that are easy to review, clearly described, and follow team conventions. Good pull requests reduce review time, catch bugs earlier, and keep the team informed about what is changing and why.

This skill covers the full lifecycle of a pull request — from preparing your changes through responding to review feedback.

Principles

1. Write Small, Focused Pull Requests

Each PR should fulfill a single purpose. Small PRs are easier and faster to review, leave less room for bugs, and provide a clearer history of changes. If your change touches multiple concerns, split it into separate PRs.

2. Provide Context and Guidance

Reviewers should not have to guess what your PR does or why. Write clear titles and descriptions, link related issues, and guide reviewers through the changes — especially when the PR touches multiple files.

3. Review Your Own Work First

Before requesting review, read through your own diff. Build and test locally. Catch typos, leftover debug code, and missing edge cases before someone else does.

4. Keep Your Team Informed

Use labels, linked issues, and project boards to make progress visible. A well-structured PR doubles as a status update — reducing the need for separate check-ins.

5. Respond Constructively to Feedback

Address every review comment. Push fixes as new commits during review so reviewers can track incremental changes. Re-request review only after all feedback is addressed.

Actions

Step-by-step procedures for each phase of raising a pull request:

  1. Prepare Pull Request — Scope, self-review, and readiness checks before opening
  2. Write PR Description — Craft a clear title, description, and reviewer guidance
  3. Submit Pull Request — Open the PR, assign reviewers, and add labels
  4. Respond to Review — Address feedback, push fixes, and re-request review
  5. Review Pull Request — Review someone else's PR with constructive feedback

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.
