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

micro 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 today.

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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Activate When

  • /godmode:micro, "design microservices"
  • "decompose this monolith", "service mesh"
  • "saga pattern", "inter-service communication"

Workflow

1. System Context

find . -name "docker-compose*" -o -name "*.proto" \
  | head -10
grep -r "microservices\|grpc\|moleculer" \
  package.json 2>/dev/null
Architecture: Monolith | Modular Monolith | Microservices
Team Structure: <teams, ownership>
Scale: <request volume, data volume>
Data Stores: <databases, caches, brokers>

2. Service Decomposition

Domain-driven bounded contexts. Each service owns its data exclusively. Decompose by business capability (not technical layer).

IF two services need strong consistency: they belong together. IF greenfield: start with modular monolith.

3. Inter-Service Communication

  • REST: CRUD, immediate response, external-facing. Circuit breaker (5 failures -> open), timeout 3s, retry 3x exponential, fallback.
  • gRPC: high-throughput internal (10K+ RPS), low-latency, streaming, polyglot.
  • Event-Driven: eventual consistency, decoupling, fan-out. Kafka (ordered), RabbitMQ (routing), SQS/SNS (AWS), NATS (ultra-low latency).

DECISION: Need immediate response -> sync (REST/gRPC). Fire-and-forget/fan-out -> async (events).

4. Service Mesh

  • Istio: complex routing, multi-cluster, WASM. ~128Mi memory per sidecar.
  • Linkerd: simpler, lighter (~64Mi), gentler learning curve.

5. Service Discovery

K8s DNS: <svc>.<ns>.svc.cluster.local. LB: Round Robin (homogeneous), Least Request (variable latency), Consistent Hash (sticky).

6. Saga Pattern

  • Choreography (2-4 services): each publishes events, next reacts. Loose coupling, hard to trace.
  • Orchestration (5+ services): central coordinator, compensates in reverse on failure. Easy to trace.

Every step MUST have compensating action (idempotent). Persist saga state. Use correlation IDs. Set timeouts.

7. Resilience Patterns

Circuit Breaker (5 consecutive 5xx, 30s half-open), Timeout (3s default), Retry (3x exponential+jitter), Bulkhead (10 concurrent per svc), Rate Limit, Fallback.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
