In plain words

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

gh-issue 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.

What it actually says

Manage GitHub issues for this repository.

Current open issues: !{gh issue list --limit 10 --json number,title,state,labels 2>/dev/null || echo "(gh CLI not available or no GitHub remote)"}

Recent commits for context: !{git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null || echo ""}

Task: $ARGUMENTS


Common operations:

  • Create: gh issue create --title "Title" --body "Body" [--label bug,enhancement] [--assignee @me]
  • View: gh issue view <number>
  • List: gh issue list [--state open|closed|all] [--label <label>] [--assignee <user>]
  • Comment: gh issue comment <number> --body "Comment"
  • Close: gh issue close <number> [--comment "Reason"]
  • Edit: gh issue edit <number> [--title "New title"] [--body "New body"] [--add-label <label>]

When creating an issue:

  1. Draft a concise title in plain language (not imperative — describes the problem or feature, ≤72 chars)
  2. Write a structured body: context/motivation, steps to reproduce (bugs) or acceptance criteria (features), any relevant code snippets
  3. Apply appropriate labels if they exist in the repo (gh label list)
  4. Confirm with the user before submitting unless they said "just do it"
Changes

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.
