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

deploying-applications 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 (examples/pulumi-aws/index.ts, scripts/generate_k8s_manifests.py, scripts/validate_deployment.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.

Deploying Applications

Production deployment patterns from Kubernetes to serverless and edge functions. Bridges the gap from application assembly to production infrastructure.

Purpose

This skill provides clear guidance for:

  • Selecting the right deployment strategy (Kubernetes, serverless, containers, edge)
  • Implementing Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi or OpenTofu
  • Setting up GitOps automation with ArgoCD or Flux
  • Choosing serverless databases (Neon, Turso, PlanetScale)
  • Deploying edge functions (Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy)

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Deploying applications to production infrastructure
  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows
  • Choosing between Kubernetes, serverless, or edge deployment
  • Implementing Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi, OpenTofu, SST)
  • Migrating from manual deployment to automated infrastructure
  • Integrating with assembling-components for complete deployment flow

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.

deploying-applications is a skill published in the GitHub repository ancoleman/ai-design-components (524 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 3,065 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
