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

paddle 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (examples/basic.py, examples/customer.ts, examples/webhook.ts, …), 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.

Paddle API Skill

Quick Start

Paddle acts as a Merchant of Record, meaning they handle sales tax (VAT, GST) calculations and remittance for you. Use the @paddle/paddle-node SDK to manage subscriptions and invoices.

npm install @paddle/paddle-node

Common Workflows

Subscription Creation

Typically, Paddle Checkout runs on the frontend. The backend listens for the transaction.completed webhook to activate the subscription in your database, bypassing manual server-side charge creation.

Production Patterns

Merchant of Record Compliance

Because Paddle is the MoR, you must rely on their webhook events (subscription.activated, subscription.past_due) as the absolute source of truth for billing access. Do not attempt to calculate taxes or prorations locally.

Error Recovery

Handle ApiError. Common issues include invalid price_id values or attempting to charge a customer in an unsupported currency. Webhooks from Paddle retry automatically.

Security Notes

Always verify incoming webhook signatures using your Paddle Webhook Secret. Ensure your backend validates that the status of a transaction is truly completed before granting entitlements.

Performance Considerations

The Paddle API is robust but should not be called synchronously during critical read paths. Cache subscription statuses in your local database (e.g., Supabase or Neon).

Testing Guidance

Use the Paddle Sandbox environment (sandbox-api.paddle.com). Trigger test webhooks via the dashboard to simulate edge cases like failed payments and cancellations.

Troubleshooting

If webhooks are failing signature verification, ensure you are passing the raw, unmodified request body buffer to the verification function, not a parsed JSON object.

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.
