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

google-developer-knowledge scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/batch_get_documents.sh, scripts/get_document.sh, scripts/search_docs.sh), 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.

Google Developer Knowledge

Use this skill to search and retrieve content from Google's public developer documentation corpus using the Developer Knowledge API.

This skill uses simple bash scripts with curl (no dependencies required).

Prerequisites

  1. Enable the API: Enable the Developer Knowledge API in your Google Cloud project.

  2. Create an API Key:

    • Go to the Credentials page
    • Click Create credentials → API key
    • Restrict the key to Developer Knowledge API only
  3. Set Environment Variable:

    • DEVELOPERKNOWLEDGE_API_KEY: Your Developer Knowledge API key

Searchable Corpus

The API searches these domains:

  • ai.google.dev
  • developer.android.com
  • developer.chrome.com
  • developers.google.com
  • docs.cloud.google.com
  • firebase.google.com
  • web.dev
  • www.tensorflow.org

Usage

1. Search for Documents

Search for document chunks matching a query. Returns snippets and parent document references.

./skills/google-developer-knowledge/scripts/search_docs.sh "How to use Gemini API in Python"

With pagination:

./skills/google-developer-knowledge/scripts/search_docs.sh "BigQuery" --page-size 10

2. Get a Single Document

Retrieve the full content of a document using its name from search results.

./skills/google-developer-knowledge/scripts/get_document.sh "documents/ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/get-started/python"

Save to file:

./skills/google-developer-knowledge/scripts/get_document.sh "documents/ai.google.dev/..." --output doc.json

3. Batch Get Documents

Retrieve up to 20 documents in a single API call.

./skills/google-developer-knowledge/scripts/batch_get_documents.sh \
  "documents/ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/get-started/python" \
  "documents/ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models"

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
