Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00297 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00119 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
zod 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 yesterday.
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.
What it actually says
Zod Schema Validation Skill
Overview
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library used across API route handlers, tRPC procedures, environment variable checks, and AI structured output schemas.
Installation
npm install zod
Core Concepts
z.object(): Defines object validation schemas and strips unknown keys by default..safeParse(input): Returns{ success: true, data }or{ success: false, error }without throwing exceptions.z.infer<typeof Schema>: Extracts the exact static TypeScript type from a runtime schema.
AI Pitfalls
- OpenAI Structured Outputs Compatibility: OpenAI's strict JSON schema mode rejects
.optional()fields unless they are.nullable(). Usez.string().nullable()when passing Zod schemas to LLM structured output helpers. - Query String Coercion: URL search params are always strings. Use
z.coerce.number().int().positive()for pagination parameters like?page=2.
Production Checklist
- HTTP route handlers use
.safeParse()and return400 Bad Requestwithresult.error.flatten() - Environment variables validated at startup via an
EnvSchema - Types exported via
type Payload = z.infer<typeof PayloadSchema>

What ships with it
2 files 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.
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.

zod is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashish7802/awesome-api-skills (13 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 297 tokens. 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 2026-10-22.

Mount tRPC as Express middleware with createExpressMiddleware() from @trpc/server/adapters/express. Access Express req/res in createContext via CreateExpressContextOptions. Mount at a path prefix like app.use('/trpc', ...). Avoid global express.json() conflicting with tRPC body parsing for FormData.
