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 B, and why

md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d ago.

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

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 386 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Markdown Clean Skill

Write clean, error-free markdown that IDEs and linters can parse without warnings.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • Writing markdown documentation
  • Creating README files
  • Writing skill files with code examples
  • Commands: /md-clean, /markdown

Common IDE Errors & Fixes

1. Nested Code Blocks

Problem: Code blocks inside code blocks cause parsing errors.

Error: Newline or semicolon expected

Wrong:

```markdown
Here is example:
```js
const x = 1;
```
```

Fix: Use different fence lengths (4 backticks for outer):

````markdown
Here is example:
```js
const x = 1;
```
````

Or use indentation for inner blocks:

```markdown
Here is example:

    const x = 1;
```

2. Unclosed Code Blocks

Problem: Missing closing fence.

Error: Statement expected, Expression expected

Wrong:

```js
const x = 1;
// forgot to close

Fix: Always close with matching fence:

```js
const x = 1;
```                    <-- closing fence

3. Mismatched Fence Characters

Problem: Opening with backticks, closing with tildes (or vice versa).

Error: Newline or semicolon expected

Wrong:

```js
const x = 1;
~~~

Fix: Match opening and closing:

```js
const x = 1;

### 4. Special Characters in Code Blocks

**Problem:** Unescaped backticks inside code blocks.

**Error:** `Unexpected token`

**Wrong:**
````markdown
```markdown
Use `code` for inline.

**Fix:** Use more backticks for outer fence:

`````markdown
````markdown
Use `code` for inline.

### 5. Pipe Characters in Tables

**Problem:** Unescaped `|` in table cells.

**Error:** `Column count mismatch`

**Wrong:**
```markdown
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| a | b | Creates a|b |
```

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.
