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

devto 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (methods/api_search.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Skill Attribution

Source: self-written for task F201.


name: devto description: Developer blog articles tagged by technology topic, via the public dev.to API. version: 1 languages: [en, mixed] methods:

  • id: api_search impl: methods/api_search.py requires: [] rate_limit: {per_min: 30, per_hour: 500} fallback_chain: [api_search] when_to_use: query_languages: [en, mixed] query_types: [tutorial, how-to, experience-report, tech-blog] domain_hints: [software, web-dev, devops] quality_hint: typical_yield: medium chinese_native: false layer: leaf domains: [community-en] scenarios: [developer-article, tutorial, experience-share] model_tier: Fast experience_digest: experience.md

Overview

dev.to adds developer-written tutorials, how-to guides, experience reports, and opinionated engineering posts through its public article API. It is useful when the query benefits from practitioner blog content rather than docs, Q&A, or source repositories, especially for technology-tagged topics in software, web development, and DevOps.

Known Quirks

  • The public API is tag-based, not keyword-based, so query.text must be passed as tag= and broad free-text recall is limited.
  • List responses only include description, not full article bodies, so evidence content is snippet-grade rather than complete post text.
  • Public read access is comparatively generous, but this channel still uses a conservative fixed rate limit.

Quality Bar

  • Evidence items have non-empty title and url.
  • No crash on empty or malformed API response.
  • Source channel field matches the channel name.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
