cdn

cdn is a skill for Claude Code from arjunprabhulal/devops-skills. It costs 115 tokens per session (1,275 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A network of edge servers that stores and serves copies of content closer to users. It can reduce requests to the original server, called the origin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design cache keys and expiration times, choose safe content to cache, plan invalidation, protect the origin from repeated requests, and investigate stale or exposed responses.
Why use it?
It helps content load from nearby locations, but incorrect caching can show stale content or one user's private response to someone else. Careful cache keys and expiration rules prevent those problems.

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

cdn 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CDN

A CDN's entire value is serving a response without asking the origin, from a location physically closer to the user. Every problem in CDN configuration traces back to one question asked carelessly: is this response actually the same for the next request, or did it just look that way in testing? Get that wrong and you either serve one user's private data to another, or fail to cache anything and pay full origin cost with extra hops on top.

A cached response is a promise that this exact bytes-for-bytes answer is correct for anyone who asks the same question — verify that promise before you make it.

1. Define the cache key as precisely as the response varies

The cache key — usually URL plus a chosen set of headers/cookies/query params — determines what counts as "the same request." Too narrow a key (ignoring a header the response actually varies by, like Accept-Language or an auth cookie) causes one user's personalized or region-specific response to be served to everyone else. Too broad a key (including a header that doesn't affect the response, like a random request ID) destroys the cache hit rate by fragmenting it into singletons.

  • Include every header or param the response body actually varies on — check server-side Vary behavior, don't assume.
  • Exclude anything that's unique per request but doesn't change the response — tracking IDs, timestamps in query strings, cache-busting params added out of habit.
  • A cache key that's too narrow is a security bug, not just a correctness bug, if it leaks personalized content across users.

Done when: two requests that produce the same key always produce the same correct response for either requester.

2. Set TTL by how wrong a stale answer is allowed to be

Static assets with content-hashed filenames can cache essentially forever, because a new version gets a new URL — the old cached copy is never wrong, just superseded. Anything without that property needs a TTL chosen by asking how long a stale answer is tolerable: a product price is not the same tolerance as a blog post body.

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.

cdn is a skill published in the GitHub repository arjunprabhulal/devops-skills (3 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 1,275 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
