render

render is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ericrisco/rsc-harness. It costs 105 tokens per session (3,099 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment workflow for Render, a managed platform for running web services, workers, scheduled jobs, private services, static sites, and data stores.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy or repair Render services, background workers, cron jobs, private services, static sites, managed Postgres, or Key Value stores.
Why use it?
It helps select the right service type, configure a version-controlled render.yaml file, expose the application port, and connect variables and databases correctly.

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

render 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/verify.sh), 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.

Render — make this repo deploy correctly, wired as code

Take any repo and make it deploy on Render (render.com) in one pass: pick the right service type, declare everything in a version-controlled render.yaml Blueprint, bind the port the way Render expects, and wire DATABASE_URL / secrets across services so they survive rotation. Steer clear of the four traps that eat first deploys: the "no open ports detected" 502, the free-tier spin-down, the 30-day free-Postgres expiry, and the 12-hour cron kill.

pick service type → render.yaml at repo root → bind 0.0.0.0:$PORT → wire env across services → push (auto-deploy)
        │                                                                                            │
   web|worker|cron|pserv|static|keyvalue                                       full key surface → references/blueprint-reference.md

Facts here are dated to 2026-06-02 against render.com/docs. Render ships changes; if a key or limit looks off, confirm against the live Blueprint spec before betting a deploy on it.

The one decision that decides everything: service type

Pick the type before you write a line of YAML. The type sets the billing model, whether the process gets a public URL, and whether Render expects it to bind a port. Choosing wrong means a worker that never starts because Render waited for a port, or a 12-hour job that dies silently as a cron.

The process… Type runtime required? Gets a public URL?
serves HTTP/WebSocket traffic web yes yes
runs forever, no inbound URL (queue consumer, Celery) worker yes no
runs, does work, exits — on a schedule cron yes no
internal-only API, reachable only inside Render's network pserv yes no (internal host only)
pre-built static assets (SPA, docs) web + runtime: static yes (static) yes
cache / queue / Redis-compatible store keyvalue no no (internal)

runtime enum (everything except keyvalue): node, python, docker, image, static, go, ruby, elixir, rust.

What ships with it

4 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.

render is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericrisco/rsc-harness (232 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 105 tokens to every session and 3,099 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
