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

devexpress-office-file-api-zip 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.

DevExpress Zip Compression and Archive API

The Zip Compression and Archive API is a non-visual .NET library for creating, reading, and extracting ZIP archives programmatically — without any external dependencies. It supports archiving files, directories, streams, byte arrays, and text; password-protecting entries with AES-256 or ZipCrypto; filtering content during archiving; cancellation via progress callbacks; and conflict resolution during extraction.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create a ZIP archive from a directory (recursively) or from a list of files
  • Add individual files to a new or existing ZIP archive
  • Filter files during archiving using the ItemAdding event
  • Archive a .NET Stream or a byte[] directly (without writing to disk first)
  • Archive a text string as a named entry in a ZIP file
  • Password-protect archive entries using AES-256 (EncryptionType.Aes256) or ZipCrypto (EncryptionType.PkZip)
  • Add comments to individual archive entries
  • Extract (unzip) an archive to a directory
  • Resolve file conflicts during extraction with a callback (AllowFileOverwrite event)
  • Cancel a long-running archiving operation via the Progress event
  • Handle archiving errors without aborting the entire operation
  • Add files to an existing archive without losing its current contents

Prerequisites & Installation

NuGet Packages

Package Purpose
DevExpress.Document.Processor Core ZIP compression and archive functionality

.NET (8/9/10+)

dotnet add package DevExpress.Document.Processor

.NET Framework (4.6.2+)

Install-Package DevExpress.Document.Processor

Or add a reference to DevExpress.Docs.v26.1.dll directly.

Important: All DevExpress packages in a project must share the same version number. A valid DevExpress license is required.

Package Versions

Unless the user explicitly requests a specific version, always target the latest DevExpress release (v26.1 at the time of writing). dotnet add package <PackageName> without --version installs the latest stable version — prefer this form. Never pin an older version in project files, Dockerfiles, or CI/CD pipelines unless the user asks for it. This is especially important in integration scenarios (Docker, cloud deployments). All DevExpress.* packages in a project must share the same version.

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.
