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

howto-section-generator 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Components: HowTo Section

Guides HowTo as an in-page section: a block of ordered steps (and optional HowTo JSON-LD) embedded inside article, documentation, tool, or landing pages. Not a standalone page type—parent page structure and templates come from article-page-generator, docs-page-generator, tools-page-generator, landing-page-generator, etc. Distinct from FAQ (Q&A → FAQPage) and from full article body drafting alone (article-content). schema-markup remains the source for exhaustive Schema.org property rules and type-wide tables; this skill owns section-level placement, copy, HTML, and HowTo-vs-FAQ decisions.

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.

HowTo Section vs FAQ Section

Dimension HowTo section FAQ section
Intent User follows ordered steps to complete a task User reads Q&A pairs for doubts
Structure Steps (1→2→3), optional tools/time/supplies Question → answer per item
Schema HowTo (Schema.org) FAQPage
UI Often horizontal tabs for steps; or numbered list in flow Often vertical accordion
Skill howto-section-generator (this) faq-page-generator

Do not mark FAQ content as HowTo or vice versa; schema must match visible content.

Placement Within the Parent Page

This section is always part of a larger page. Typical positions:

Location When
After intro (and optional TL;DR / Key Takeaways) Article: context first, then solution = steps
As the main middle of the page Tutorial-heavy article where the HowTo block carries most of the value
After product/tool context Tool or LP: short context → How to use steps → FAQ/CTA

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.
