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

create-skill 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 4d 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.

Create Skill Command

Creates a new FTC skill plugin with proper structure and templates.

Usage

/create-skill <skill-name> [category]

Arguments:

  • skill-name: Name for the new skill (kebab-case, e.g., rev-hub, roadrunner)
  • category: Optional - one of: hardware, library, framework, tools, game

Examples

/create-skill rev-hub hardware
/create-skill roadrunner library
/create-skill meepmeep tools

Process

When this command is invoked:

  1. Validate the skill name

    • Must be kebab-case (lowercase, hyphens)
    • Must not already exist in plugins/
    • Must be 64 characters or less
  2. Create the plugin structure

    plugins/<skill-name>/
    ├── plugin.json
    ├── CHANGELOG.md
    └── skills/
        └── <skill-name>/
            └── SKILL.md
    
  3. Generate plugin.json with:

    • Name from argument
    • Category from argument (or ask user)
    • Placeholder description
    • MIT license
    • Standard compatibility list
  4. Generate SKILL.md with:

    • Proper frontmatter (name, description placeholder, license, compatibility, metadata)
    • Template sections (Quick Start, Key Concepts, Patterns, Anti-Patterns, Examples)
    • Placeholder content marked with [TODO: ...]
  5. Generate CHANGELOG.md with:

    • Initial version 1.0.0 entry
    • Today's date
    • "Initial release" placeholder
  6. Add to marketplace.json

    • Add entry to the plugins array
    • Include version field set to "1.0.0"
    • Set source to ./plugins/<skill-name>
  7. Add to README.md skill table

    • Add row to appropriate category table (FTC Skills or Contributor Tools)
    • Include skill name, category, and brief description
    • Ensure table stays alphabetically sorted within category
  8. Prompt user to fill in:

    • Description (WHAT + WHEN)
    • Quick Start content
    • Code examples
    • Reference documentation

After Creation

Guide the user through:

  1. Writing a good description with FTC-specific keywords
  2. Adding Quick Start with working code examples
  3. Creating Good/Bad example comparisons
  4. Testing the skill activates correctly
  5. Verifying README.md skill table entry is accurate

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.
