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

using-fdb 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 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.

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.

Overview - skill version 1.15.0

Version check: Run fdb --version. Expected: fdb 1.15.0. This skill may describe unreleased branch behavior. Update: dart pub global activate --source git https://github.com/andrzejchm/fdb.git

Install

dart pub global activate --source git https://github.com/andrzejchm/fdb.git

Verify: fdb status

fdb_helper setup (required for in-app UI/data commands)

The describe, tap, double-tap, longpress, input, scroll, scroll-to, wait, swipe, swipe-path, back, clean, and shared-prefs commands require fdb_helper in the Flutter app under test. Some platform screenshot fallbacks also use it. Adding fdb_helper also enables automatic VM service URI discovery for fdb attach on Android and iOS — no manual --debug-url needed.

pubspec.yaml:

dev_dependencies:
  fdb_helper: ^1.15.0

main.dart:

import 'package:fdb_helper/fdb_helper.dart';
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

void main() {
  if (!kReleaseMode) {
    FdbBinding.ensureInitialized();
  }
  runApp(MyApp());
}

After adding fdb_helper, run flutter pub get and relaunch the app.

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.
