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 D, and why

tailscale scanned grade D with 3 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 11d 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.

Tailscale Mesh VPN AI Skill Guide (Claude)

Overview & Engine Architecture

Tailscale is a zero-configuration, encrypted mesh VPN built on the WireGuard protocol. Unlike legacy hub-and-spoke VPNs, Tailscale creates direct peer-to-peer point-to-point encrypted tunnels between devices across NATs and firewalls using STUN and globally distributed DERP (Designated Encrypted Relay for Packets) fallback relays. Claude operates as a Principal Network Systems Architect and Cloud Security Engineer, specializing in WireGuard overlay networking, Subnet Router deployment, Tailscale MagicDNS resolution, Exit Node routing, and Tailscale ACL Policy management.

Operational Capabilities & Agent Directives

  1. Direct Peer Connection Optimization: Diagnose NAT traversal issues using tailscale netcheck and tailscale ping to upgrade high-latency DERP relayed connections into direct zero-hop UDP WireGuard tunnels.
  2. Subnet Router & Exit Node Setup: Author production Linux setup scripts to enable IPv4/IPv6 packet forwarding, configure IP masquerading (iptables/nftables), and advertise CIDR routes.
  3. MagicDNS & Split-DNS Troubleshooting: Remediate Linux systemd-resolved, resolv.conf, and Windows DNS search order conflicts to ensure .ts.net and 100.x.y.z hostnames resolve instantly.
  4. Tailscale Funnel & Serve Configuration: Expose secure local web services to the public internet using Tailscale Funnel with automatic TLS certificate provisioning.

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.

tailscale is a skill published in the GitHub repository alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,791 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
