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

blog.check_format 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.

What it actually says

Goal

  • Check that all the actual and the draft blogs have the correct format

Workflow

Step 1: Find Files

  • Look for all the markdown files both SKILL.md and <TOPIC>.rules.md
    > find website/docs/blog/post -name "*.md"
    

Step 2: Read Context

  • Read context about rules from
    • .claude/skills/blog.rules.md
    • .claude/skills/markdown.rules.md
    • .claude/skills/text.rules.md

Step 3: Check Rules

  • For each file apply all the following rules and report violations as described below

Check Front Matter

  • Make sure to follow the section # Blog Document Structure from the file .claude/skills/blog.rules.md

Check that Has a TL;DR

  • Make sure to follow the section # Blog Document Structure from the file .claude/skills/blog.rules.md

Check for Other Violations

  • Use the rules in .claude/skills/blog.rules.md to look for clear violations
  • Report them only if you are really sure about it

Step 4: Report Violations

  • Report all the violations in a file cfile using the format in .claude/skills/cfile.rules.md

Step 5: Ask Users Whether to Fix the Problems

  • Ask for the user which problems should be fixed by printing a list of problem with indices
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.
