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

curating-azure-deployment-learnings 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/capture-learning.sh, scripts/promote-to-gotchas.sh, scripts/review-learnings.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Curating Azure Deployment Learnings

The feedback loop that keeps the diagnosing-azure-deployment-failures gotcha catalogue current. Capture lessons from real projects in learnings/, then promote recurring ones into the catalogue.

learnings/ is gitignored in the plugin repo — learnings are private field notes (they name customers, subscriptions and costs). Only the promoted gotcha row is shared. The commit SHA recorded in a learning's Status line therefore points at the gotcha commit, and is for the author's own audit trail. Keep learnings in whichever private location suits you (LEARNINGS_DIR overrides the default for every script).

When to invoke

  • A deployment problem was solved — capture it before it's forgotten
  • Reviewing accumulated learnings/*.md for promotion candidates
  • Triaging which learnings are project-specific vs broadly reusable

The pipeline

Project hits a problem in the field
   ↓
Solve it — file a learning in learnings/{date}_{project}.md
   ↓
Periodically review learnings/ — what shows up across multiple projects?
   ↓
Promote recurring ones to skills/diagnosing-azure-deployment-failures/references/gotchas.md
   ↓
Mark the learning entry "✅ Promoted in commit {sha}"

# Session Learnings — TRG Directory Content Crawl

## Issue 1 — Docker Hub anonymous pulls hit rate limit in CI

### What happened
After 20+ successful deploys, the GitHub Actions runner started getting `toomanyrequests`
errors when pulling `unclecode/crawl4ai:latest`.

### Root cause
Docker Hub limits anonymous pulls to 100/6h per IP. GitHub-hosted runners share IPs,
so the project's pulls were rate-limited from other workflows on the same NAT IP.

### Fix applied
Pinned the image to `crawl4ai:0.8.6` and mirrored it into our ACR. Updated deploy.sh
and the Bicep template.

Files changed: `azure/deploy.sh:83`, `infra/modules/crawler.bicep:42`.

Status: ✅ Promoted — docker-hub-rate-limit → gotcha #31, crawl4ai-pinning → gotcha #38 (commit abc1234).

What ships with it

3 files 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.
