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

addin-operations 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 12d 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.

TIA Portal Add-In Development — Visual Studio Code

Source: TIA Portal Add-In Development Tools Manual (11/2025)

Scope

Add-In development in VS Code using C# and the dotnet Add-In SDK. Do not mix with Python wrapper calls.


Reference files

Load ONLY the reference file(s) relevant to the task. Do not load all files at once.

Reference file Load when the task involves
references/api-surface.md Choosing provider/add-in types; VCI or CAx workflow item types; workflow-to-assembly mapping
references/api-menus.md Building context menu structures; action items; submenus; selection handling
references/api-permissions.md Starting external processes; handling ProcessStartPermission
references/assembly-references.md Adding PLC software, block, or tag access to an Add-In csproj
references/attribute-helper.md Reading/writing engineering object attributes via GetAttributeInfos or SetAttributes
references/threading-and-callbacks.md Add-In execution lifetime; notifications and confirmations; separate-process UI; status callback constraints
references/runtime-gotchas.md Unsupported assembly-path resolution; managed dependency packaging; SplitContainer sizing crashes; WinForms .resx sandbox failures; version fields; engineering-object field warnings
references/package-and-publisher.md .addin package internals; V21 publisher config; PlatformTarget; verifying a published package
references/migrate-from-older-version.md Converting a V20 (or earlier) Add-In to V21; decompiling an existing .addin when source is lost
references/skeleton.md Starting a new context-menu Add-In from scratch

For tasks spanning multiple areas, load all relevant reference files before generating code.


Execution pattern

  1. Pick the Add-In type → run dotnet new <template> (see template table below)
  2. Decide which TIA Portal objects the Add-In must access; if PLC/SW/HW → load references/assembly-references.md
  3. Implement BuildContextMenuItems — status callback returns MenuStatus.Enabled, guard logic goes in the action callback
  4. For UI: use callback-scoped MessageBoxProvider, or a permitted separate process for long-lived/custom UI → load references/threading-and-callbacks.md
  5. Before distributing: compile with "Run build task", debug with F5

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.
