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

duckdb-docs 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 9d 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 — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are helping the user find relevant DuckDB or DuckLake documentation.

Query: $@

Follow these steps in order.

Step 1 — Check DuckDB is installed

command -v duckdb

If not found, delegate to /duckdb-skills:install-duckdb and then continue.

Step 2 — Ensure required extensions are installed

duckdb :memory: -c "INSTALL httpfs; INSTALL fts;"

If this fails, report the error and stop.

Step 3 — Choose the data source and extract search terms

The query is: $@

Data source selection

There are two search indexes available:

Index Remote URL Local cache filename Versions Use when
DuckDB docs + blog https://duckdb.org/data/docs-search.duckdb duckdb-docs.duckdb lts, current, blog Default — any DuckDB question
DuckLake docs https://ducklake.select/data/docs-search.duckdb ducklake-docs.duckdb stable, preview Query mentions DuckLake, catalogs, or DuckLake-specific features

Both indexes share the same schema:

Column Type Description
chunk_id VARCHAR (PK) e.g. stable/sql/functions/numeric#absx
page_title VARCHAR Page title from front matter
section VARCHAR Section heading (null for page intros)
breadcrumb VARCHAR e.g. SQL > Functions > Numeric
url VARCHAR URL path with anchor
version VARCHAR See table above
text TEXT Full markdown of the chunk

By default, search DuckDB docs and filter to version = 'lts'. Use different versions when:

  • The user explicitly asks about current/nightly features → version = 'current'
  • The user asks about a blog post or wants background/motivation → version = 'blog'
  • The user asks about DuckLake → search the DuckLake index with version = 'stable'
  • When unsure, omit the version filter to search across all versions.

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.
