These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

make-wpf-project 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 — 363 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WPF Project Scaffolder

If $0 is empty, use the AskUserQuestion tool to ask: "Enter the WPF project name (e.g., MyApp, Dashboard)". Do NOT proceed until a valid name is provided. Use the response as the ProjectName for all subsequent steps.

Scaffold a WPF project named $0 with MVVM, DI, and best practices.

Usage

# Default project (recommended) - CommunityToolkit.Mvvm + GenericHost
/wpf-dev-pack:make-wpf-project $0

# Minimal structure
/wpf-dev-pack:make-wpf-project $0 --minimal

# Full structure (all layers separated)
/wpf-dev-pack:make-wpf-project $0 --full

# Prism framework (module-based architecture)
/wpf-dev-pack:make-wpf-project $0 --prism

Framework Options

Option Framework Features
(default) CommunityToolkit.Mvvm Lightweight, Source Generator, GenericHost DI
--prism Prism.DryIoc Region Navigation, Module, Dialog Service

Prism details: See PRISM.md for complete Prism project structure and examples.

Project naming (consistency contract): the WPF application project is suffixed .WpfApp. The make-wpf-viewmodel and make-wpf-service generators locate the app project by this suffix to place Views and register DI. Keep .WpfApp so the whole make-wpf-* family wires into one solution.

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.
