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

stack-stripe 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 12d 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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stripe Stack — Team Briefing

This is a knowledge overlay, not a new specialist. The existing ETYB team does the work — backend-architect writes the backend code, devops-engineer wires the deploys, security-engineer enforces the boundary. This pack tells each role where the current Stripe knowledge lives.

Where the full briefing lives

The full Stack briefing lives in this same folder. Per-product and per-role pages are siblings of this SKILL.md. Every page carries last_verified_on stamps and authoritative-source URLs in its frontmatter; see skills/etyb/core/knowledge-currency.md for the drift-check protocol that uses them.

  • Stack briefing: stacks/stripe/index.md
  • Per-product pages: stacks/stripe/<product>.md — one per entry in products_covered above
  • Per-role views: stacks/stripe/<role>.md — one per role in applies_to_roles above

When ETYB is installed locally these are read directly from disk. For third-party agents without the install, the same content is reachable as raw markdown at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/e-t-y-b/etyb-skills/main/stacks/stripe/<page>.md.

When delegate_to_skills (frontmatter above) lists a first-party vendor MCP/skill that's installed in the user's environment, ETYB defers to it first. The in-repo Stack content is the curated fallback.

What changed in 2025-2026 that older training data misses

Critical context — an LLM with a 2024 cutoff will get these wrong:

  • Meter API replaced usage_records for net-new usage-based billing. The old subscription_item.create_usage_record pattern is deprecated for new subscriptions (announced late 2024). New work uses /v1/billing/meter_events and a billing.meter object that prices via the new billing.meter_event_summary aggregation. Existing legacy usage-record subscriptions still work; new ones must use Meters.
  • Connect "Custom" type is now controller properties. Account creation in 2024+ uses controller configuration (controller.fees.payer, controller.losses.payments, controller.stripe_dashboard.type, controller.requirement_collection) rather than the older type: 'custom' | 'express' | 'standard' shorthand. The legacy shorthands still work but are mapped internally to controller properties.
  • Stripe Workbench (2024) is the developer surface inside Dashboard. The old "Developers" tab is being phased into Workbench — API logs, events, webhook endpoints, version pin all live there.
  • API version pinning — every Stripe account is auto-pinned to a version on first call. A new account today gets 2025-11-15.acacia (or whatever is current). An account created in 2019 is still pinned to a 2019 version unless someone upgrades it. The same code against two accounts can return different JSON.
  • Express Checkout Element (GA 2024) consolidates Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, Amazon Pay, PayPal into a single button row. Replaces hand-wired Payment Request Button + individual wallet integrations.
  • Payment Element (the unified Element) is the modern default; the legacy Card Element should not be used for new builds.
  • SCA / 3D Secure 2 is mandatory in EU/UK/EEA. PaymentIntents handle this automatically when automatic_payment_methods.enabled: true and you use the confirmation flow correctly. The legacy Sources API and direct Charges flow do NOT handle SCA cleanly.
  • Idempotency Key TTL is contractually guaranteed at 24 hours since 2024. Earlier guidance treated it as "best effort" — now it's a real guarantee, but only for 24 hours. Long-running retry chains beyond 24h must mint new keys.
  • Restricted API keys with scoped permissions are GA and recommended for any service-to-Stripe integration that doesn't need full secret-key power. The "one secret key for everything" pattern is a security smell in 2026.
  • Stripe-hosted MCP server (docs.stripe.com/mcp) shipped in 2025 for select operations. AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex) can drive Stripe via MCP tools. Production usage requires a scoped restricted key and full audit logging.
  • Stripe Connect onboarding via account_link with type: account_onboarding is the modern pattern. Legacy email-based "Connect Onboarding" redirects are being phased out.
  • Treasury matured in 2025-2026 with RTP and FedNow rails for OutboundPayments; eligibility is partner-bank-dependent and gated to approved platforms.

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.
