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

marketplace-building 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.

Marketplace Building

Overview

A multi-vendor marketplace lets independent sellers list products on your platform, collects payment from buyers, deducts your commission, and pays out the remainder to sellers. The key components are: seller onboarding with KYC verification, product listing management per seller, commission calculation, and automated payouts. For Shopify and WooCommerce merchants, purpose-built marketplace apps handle most of this — custom development is needed primarily for highly specific commission structures or white-label marketplace platforms.

When to Use This Skill

  • When building a platform where third-party sellers list and sell their own products (not your inventory)
  • When you need the platform to collect payment from buyers and distribute funds to sellers minus a commission
  • When sellers need their own dashboard to manage listings, view orders, and track earnings
  • When complying with KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements for seller identity verification
  • When designing the commission structure (percentage, tiered, category-based) and payout schedule

Core Instructions

Step 1: Determine your platform and choose the right marketplace tool

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.
