streamdown

streamdown is a skill for Codex from BjornMelin/dev-skills. It costs 186 tokens per session (2,268 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to Streamdown, a React library for displaying Markdown while AI responses are still arriving. Markdown is plain text with formatting such as headings, links, and code blocks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building AI chat screens, displaying output from useChat or streamText, or replacing react-markdown with a streaming-friendly renderer.
Why use it?
It helps chat interfaces render incomplete or changing AI output correctly while it streams, including migration from react-markdown.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is @source "../node_modules/streamdown/dist/*.js";.

Good fit Use it when building AI chat screens, displaying output from useChat or…

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

streamdown 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ai_stack_scan.py), 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.

What ships with it

5 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.

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.
