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

azure-lean-stack-skills CLAUDE.md 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md — Azure Lean Stack (v2.3.1)

Azure apps that cost nothing when nobody's using them.

A Claude Code plugin of composable skills for scaffolding and deploying consumption-priced, low-cost Azure web apps. One thin orchestrator + 16 single-purpose sub-skills + a learnings-feedback loop. Built around branch-per-environment CI/CD where each git branch maps 1:1 to an isolated Azure resource group. Complementary to Microsoft's azure-skills plugin.

Every pattern in here is proven in at least one real production project (see RECIPES.md). If no shipping project uses it, it doesn't get added.

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.
