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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00044 | $0.02556 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.01022 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00511 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00256 |
Grade A, and why
serialization 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to serialization — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Serialization in .NET
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Choosing a serialization format for APIs, messaging, or persistence
- Migrating from Newtonsoft.Json to System.Text.Json
- Implementing AOT-compatible serialization
- Designing wire formats for distributed systems
- Optimizing serialization performance
Schema-Based vs Reflection-Based
| Aspect | Schema-Based | Reflection-Based |
|---|---|---|
| Examples | Protobuf, MessagePack, System.Text.Json (source gen) | Newtonsoft.Json, BinaryFormatter |
| Type info in payload | No (external schema) | Yes (type names embedded) |
| Versioning | Explicit field numbers/names | Implicit (type structure) |
| Performance | Fast (no reflection) | Slower (runtime reflection) |
| AOT compatible | Yes | No |
| Wire compatibility | Excellent | Poor |
Recommendation: Use schema-based serialization for anything that crosses process boundaries.
Format Recommendations
| Use Case | Recommended Format | Why |
|---|---|---|
| REST APIs | System.Text.Json (source gen) | Standard, AOT-compatible |
| gRPC | Protocol Buffers | Native format, excellent versioning |
| Actor messaging | MessagePack or Protobuf | Compact, fast, version-safe |
| Event sourcing | Protobuf or MessagePack | Must handle old events forever |
| Caching | MessagePack | Compact, fast |
| Configuration | JSON (System.Text.Json) | Human-readable |
| Logging | JSON (System.Text.Json) | Structured, parseable |
Formats to Avoid
| Format | Problem |
|---|---|
| BinaryFormatter | Security vulnerabilities, deprecated, never use |
| Newtonsoft.Json default | Type names in payload break on rename |
| DataContractSerializer | Complex, poor versioning |
| XML | Verbose, slow, complex |
System.Text.Json with Source Generators
For JSON serialization, use System.Text.Json with source generators for AOT compatibility and performance.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 415 lines · 44 tokens per session scan A e72bbce11728
serialization is a skill published in the GitHub repository ComeOnOliver/skillshub (64 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 2,556 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to serialization, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
