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

platform-environment-validate 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 2d 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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Validating: Salesforce Development Environment

Validate all required prerequisites and surface a clear, actionable status report. This skill is on-demand — it does not run automatically on session start. Run it explicitly to check or repair your local setup.

Phase 1: Prerequisite Scan

Run the tool check:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sf-context check-tools

The output is a JSON object with a tools array (plus a diagnostic block on any critical failure).

The banner is painted for you — do not reproduce it. When check-tools runs, the plugin paints the framed "Ready to build on Salesforce?" banner deterministically on the visible channel — one status row per tool, the footer verdict, and the wayfinding footer — exactly like the SessionStart banner. It is a Tier-1 surface: read the JSON for your own understanding, but do NOT reproduce, redraw, or re-render the banner. Add only a short read of what the result means for the user, then go to Phase 2.

The painted banner looks like this (illustrative — the version/message text in each row comes straight from the JSON: version for 🟢, message + fix hint for 🟡/🔴, the note for ℹ️; the values below show the style, not fixed strings):

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.
