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

akka-net-aspire-configuration 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 12d 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.

Configuring Akka.NET with .NET Aspire

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Setting up a new Akka.NET project with .NET Aspire orchestration
  • Configuring Akka.Cluster with cluster bootstrapping and discovery
  • Integrating Akka.Persistence with SQL Server
  • Setting up Akka.Management for cluster management
  • Configuring multi-replica actor systems in local development
  • Deploying Akka.NET applications to Kubernetes with Aspire
  • akka-net-management - Deep dive into Akka.Management, Cluster Bootstrap, and discovery providers (Kubernetes, Azure, Config)
  • microsoft-extensions-configuration - IValidateOptions patterns for configuration validation
  • akka-net-best-practices - Cluster/local mode abstractions for testable actor systems
  • aspire-integration-testing - Testing Aspire applications with real infrastructure

Core Principles

  1. Configuration via Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration - Use strongly-typed settings classes bound from appsettings.json (see microsoft-extensions-configuration skill)
  2. Akka.Hosting for DI Integration - Use the Akka.Hosting library for seamless ASP.NET Core integration
  3. Aspire for Orchestration - Let Aspire manage service dependencies, networking, and environment configuration
  4. Health Checks - Always configure health checks for clustering, persistence, and readiness
  5. Separate Concerns - Keep actor definitions, configuration, and Aspire orchestration in separate layers
  6. Validate Configuration at Startup - Use IValidateOptions<T> and .ValidateOnStart() to fail fast on misconfiguration

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.
