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.

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

build-a-nimbus-site 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 2d 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

Build a Nimbus docs site

Nimbus builds documentation sites on Astro. The scaffolder copies layouts, components and styles into the project, and the user owns them from then on. The @cloudflare/nimbus-docs package provides the plumbing and the nimbus-docs CLI.

Full docs: https://nimbus-docs.com/llms.txt. Every page has a Markdown version at <page>/index.md.

Create a site

Requires Node 22.12 or later.

npm create @cloudflare/nimbus-docs@latest my-docs -- --yes
cd my-docs
npm run dev

Pass --adapter cloudflare for a server-rendered site. All options: https://nimbus-docs.com/reference/scaffolder-options/index.md

Write pages

  • A page is a .md or .mdx file under src/content/docs/. Its path is its URL and its place in the sidebar: src/content/docs/guides/install.mdx is /guides/install/.
  • Every component used in .mdx must be listed in src/components.ts.
  • Details: https://nimbus-docs.com/writing/pages-and-routing/index.md

Add components and features

npx nimbus-docs list          # what the registry offers
npx nimbus-docs add <slug>    # install one

Features such as changelog print a recipe for you to follow in the project. Read it with npx nimbus-docs add <slug> --print.

Check before you finish

npx nimbus-docs check
npm run build

check reports configuration, content and type problems with fixes. Run npx nimbus-docs lint after a build to check links.

Upgrade

After raising @cloudflare/nimbus-docs, run npx nimbus-docs migrate, complete each review it lists, run the completion command it prints, then npx nimbus-docs outdated to see starter files that changed upstream. Details: https://nimbus-docs.com/cli/index.md

Deploy

New sites deploy to Cloudflare Workers with npm run deploy, which builds first. Other hosts: https://nimbus-docs.com/deploy/index.md

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.
