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

mssql-performance-skills AGENTS.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

AGENTS.md — mssql-performance-skills

What this is

A library of Markdown skills for SQL Server performance tuning. No build system, no tests, no dependencies.

All skill details, check counts, prefix map, contributor workflows, and conventions — see CLAUDE.md.

Verify before commit

bash scripts/verify-docs.sh

Runs documentation consistency checks. Fails block commit; warnings are advisory. A .claude/settings.json PostToolUse hook auto-runs this after every Write/Edit — check output after file edits.

Critical gotchas

Dollar signs in SKILL.md break at runtime. The Claude skill loader does shell variable expansion on SKILL.md content. Never write $0.012 or $[expr] — use USD 0.012. verify-docs.sh catches this.

references/check-explanations.md is NOT loaded at runtime by default. Only SKILL.md is read automatically by the skill loader. All thresholds and triggers must live in SKILL.md. The reference file is on-demand context — Claude may load it when a user asks "explain check X" or for deeper fix-option detail.

Dispatcher-style skills are exempt from check-count matching. Skills with no own checks have references/check-explanations.md files that describe methodology, not per-check entries.

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.
