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

skills javascript-formatting.instructions.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.

What it actually says

JavaScript/TypeScript Code Formatting Instructions

Follow these rules when working on skills that contain JavaScript or TypeScript code examples.

Code Formatting

  • ALWAYS format JavaScript and TypeScript code examples with Prettier before every commit
  • Run npm run format from the repository root to format all code

Formatting Before Commits

Before committing changes to any JavaScript/TypeScript code examples in markdown files:

  1. Run npm run format to automatically format all files
  2. Review the formatted output to ensure code examples remain readable
  3. Commit the formatted changes

Alternatively, use npm run format:check to verify formatting without making changes.

Code Blocks in Markdown

When editing JavaScript/TypeScript code blocks in markdown files:

  • Prettier will automatically format code blocks with language identifiers: javascript, typescript, js, ts, jsx, tsx
  • Ensure code blocks are properly marked with the correct language identifier
  • Preserve the readability of code examples after formatting

Skills Covered

This formatting requirement applies to the following skills:

  • apollo-client - React applications with Apollo Client
  • apollo-server - GraphQL servers with Apollo Server
  • graphql-operations - GraphQL operations and queries
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.
