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

subscription-billing 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.

Subscription Billing

Overview

Subscription billing lets customers pay automatically on a recurring schedule — weekly, monthly, or annually. Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce each have dedicated subscription apps and plugins that handle the full lifecycle: initial checkout, recurring billing, failed payment recovery (dunning), plan changes, pausing, and cancellation. For headless storefronts, Stripe Subscriptions provides the same functionality via API with no need to build billing logic from scratch.

When to Use This Skill

  • When building a subscription box, membership, or "Subscribe & Save" program
  • When the current subscription logic is manual and not scaling with customer count
  • When dunning (failed payment recovery) is not automated and causing unnecessary churn
  • When customers need self-serve plan upgrades, downgrades, pausing, and cancellation

Core Instructions

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

Platform Recommended Tool Notes
Shopify Recharge or Seal Subscriptions or Bold Subscriptions (Shopify App Store) Shopify has a native Subscriptions API; Recharge is the most widely used third-party app; Seal is a newer lower-cost option
Shopify (simple) Shopify Subscriptions (built-in, free) For basic subscription needs — launched 2024; handles simple recurring orders
WooCommerce WooCommerce Subscriptions ($199/year, official WooCommerce extension) The official and most complete WooCommerce subscription solution; handles all billing, dunning, and management
BigCommerce Recurly (via BigCommerce App Marketplace) or Rebilly BigCommerce does not have native subscriptions; third-party apps handle it
Custom / Headless Stripe Subscriptions Stripe Subscriptions handles the complete recurring billing lifecycle with webhooks

Step 2: Set up subscriptions on your platform

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.
