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

vara-skills 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.

What it actually says

Vara Skills

This wrapper exposes the same provisional vara-skills pack to OpenClaw.

The pack is self-contained inside this repo: load the local handbook and local skills instead of depending on sibling repositories.

Start Here

Load the repo router at ../SKILL.md, then begin with ship-sails-app.

Route By Task

Builder Need Skill
Local Rust or Gear setup ../skills/sails-dev-env/SKILL.md
New app from scratch ../skills/sails-new-app/SKILL.md
Feature or behavior change in existing repo ../skills/sails-feature-workflow/SKILL.md
Message flow, replies, or async behavior ../skills/gear-message-execution/SKILL.md
Service or program architecture ../skills/sails-architecture/SKILL.md
IDL or generated client issues ../skills/sails-idl-client/SKILL.md
gtest authoring or debugging ../skills/sails-gtest/SKILL.md
Local-node smoke after green tests ../skills/sails-local-smoke/SKILL.md
React or TypeScript frontend ../skills/sails-frontend/SKILL.md
Fungible token with awesome-sails ../skills/awesome-sails-vft/SKILL.md
Wallet interactions, deploy, vouchers ../skills/vara-wallet/SKILL.md

Scope

This pack is for standard Gear/Vara Sails builders. The catalog is provisional and should be treated as a measured candidate set, not a frozen public taxonomy.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
