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

xml-sitemap 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 today.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SEO Technical: Sitemap

Guides sitemap creation, auditing, and optimization for search engine discovery.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope (Technical SEO)

  • Sitemap: Create XML sitemap; submit to Google Search Console
  • URL discovery: Help search engines find pages; especially important for large sites or poor internal linking

Task

Generate an XML Sitemap that complies with the sitemaps.org protocol from the project's page list, and declare it in robots.txt.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for site URL and page structure.

Identify:

  1. Site URL: Base domain (e.g., https://example.com)
  2. URL count: Total indexable pages (single sitemap vs. sitemap index)
  3. Data source: Static config, CMS, file system, or hybrid

Precondition: Does the site need a sitemap?

Before generating, assess whether a sitemap is warranted. A sitemap is most valuable when:

  • Large site (hundreds+ pages) or new site with few backlinks
  • Deep or orphaned pages that internal links don't reach well
  • Rich media (images, videos, news) needing extension metadata
  • GSC shows growing "Discovered – not indexed" or "Not discovered" counts

Small sites (< 50 pages) with strong internal linking may not strictly need one, but creating a sitemap has near-zero cost and provides future-proof infrastructure. If in doubt, err on the side of creating.

1. Protocol Essentials

Item Spec
Single sitemap limit 50,000 URLs, 50MB (uncompressed)
Sitemap index When exceeding limit, split and have main index reference sub-sitemaps
Encoding UTF-8
URL format Full URL, same host, include https://
Required tags <loc>
Optional tags <lastmod>, <changefreq>, <priority>

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.
