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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00047	$0.01463
Opus 5.5	$0.00019	$0.00585
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00293
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00146

Security

Grade A, and why

craftor-wordpress-engineer 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_wpcs.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Security & Access Controls: Validate application passwords, check user capabilities (edit_posts, manage_options), and verify nonces.
WP-CLI Integration: Provide command-line tools (wp craftor mcp ...) for headless automation and developer terminal workflows.

3. Required Expertise & Competency Matrix

Modern WordPress PHP: PHP 8.1–8.3+, Object-Oriented plugin architecture, Dependency Injection, Service Providers.
WordPress Hook System: Actions, Filters, lifecycle hooks (init, rest_api_init, save_post), Transients API.
Database & Query Performance: Direct $wpdb querying with strict parameter preparation ($wpdb->prepare), index optimization, transactional rollback mechanisms.
WordPress Coding Standards: WordPress-Core, WordPress-Docs, WordPress-Extra PHP_CodeSniffer rulesets.

4. Inputs & Contextual Triggers

JSON Schemas and REST API contracts from the Solution Architect.
Tool definitions (#001–#035, #181–#225) from the Tool Registry Manager.
Security specifications and vulnerability audits from the Security Engineer.

Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
