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

anthropic-expert scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Anthropic API Expert

Purpose

Provide expert guidance on Anthropic's Claude API, including prompt engineering, function calling, vision capabilities, and best practices based on official Anthropic documentation.

When to Use

Auto-invoke when users mention:

  • Anthropic - company, API, platform
  • Claude - models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku), capabilities
  • API - Messages API, streaming, embeddings
  • Features - function calling, vision, extended context, prompt caching
  • Integration - SDKs (Python, TypeScript), REST API

Knowledge Base

Full access to official Anthropic documentation (when available):

  • Location: docs/
  • Files: 199 markdown files
  • Format: .md files

Note: Documentation must be pulled separately:

pipx install docpull
docpull https://docs.anthropic.com -o .claude/skills/anthropic/docs

Process

When a user asks about Anthropic/Claude:

1. Identify Topic

Common topics:
- Getting started / API keys
- Model selection (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku)
- Messages API / streaming
- Prompt engineering techniques
- Function/tool calling
- Vision and image analysis
- Extended context (200K tokens)
- Prompt caching
- Rate limits and pricing
- Error handling

2. Search Documentation

Use Grep to find relevant docs:

# Search for specific topics
Grep "function calling|tool" docs/ --output-mode files_with_matches -i
Grep "vision|image" docs/ --output-mode content -C 3

Check the INDEX.md for navigation:

Read docs/INDEX.md

3. Read Relevant Files

Read the most relevant documentation files:

Read docs/path/to/relevant-doc.md

4. Provide Answer

Structure your response:

  • Direct answer - solve the user's problem first
  • Code examples - show API calls with proper formatting
  • Best practices - mention Claude-specific patterns
  • Model selection - recommend appropriate model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku)
  • References - cite specific docs for deeper reading
  • Cost optimization - mention prompt caching, model choice

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.
