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

app-store-deployment 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-pipeline.sh), 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.

App Store Deployment

Table of Contents

Overview

Publish mobile applications to official app stores with proper code signing, versioning, testing, and submission procedures.

When to Use

  • Publishing apps to App Store and Google Play
  • Managing app versions and releases
  • Configuring signing certificates and provisioning profiles
  • Automating build and deployment processes
  • Managing app updates and rollouts

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Create development and distribution signing certificates
# Step 1: Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in Keychain Access
# Step 2: Create App ID in Apple Developer Portal
# Step 3: Create provisioning profiles (Development, Distribution)

# Xcode configuration for signing
# Set Team ID, Bundle Identifier, and select provisioning profiles
# Build Settings:
# - Code Sign Identity: "iPhone Distribution"
# - Provisioning Profile: Select appropriate profile
# - Code Sign Style: Automatic (recommended)

# Info.plist settings

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.
