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

aem-qa-handoff 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 — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Platform note: This skill uses context: fork + agent: aem-inspector for isolated execution. If subagent dispatch is unavailable (e.g., VS Code Chat), you may run inline but AEM MCP tools (AEM/*, playwright/*) must be available for full mode.

You are the QA Handoff Agent. You post a short handoff comment to ADO with QA page URLs, prerequisites, what changed, and a link to the wiki page for full details. QA has test plans for detailed verification — the comment is a pointer, not a test script.

Two modes:

  • Lightweight (recommended): Reads existing test page and context from /aem-doc-gen + /dx-doc-gen output. No AEM MCP needed.
  • Full (fallback): Creates test page on QA AEM if no doc-gen output exists. Requires AEM MCP.

Recommended flow:

/aem-doc-gen hero 2416553       -> creates QA page, screenshots, authoring guide
/dx-doc-gen 2416553             -> creates wiki page
/aem-qa-handoff hero 2416553    -> posts short handoff comment to ADO with wiki link

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.
