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

vitest 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 1mo 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.

Vitest Skill

Contents

Quick Start

Minimum setup:

npm install -D vitest
// vitest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    environment: 'node',
  },
})

First test (src/math.test.ts):

import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import { add } from './math'

describe('add', () => {
  it('returns the sum of two numbers', () => {
    expect(add(1, 2)).toBe(3)
  })
})
npx vitest        # watch mode
npx vitest run    # single run (CI)

When This Skill Activates

  • User asks to write a test for a function, component, or module
  • User asks how to configure Vitest or integrate it into an existing Vite project
  • User's tests are failing and they need help diagnosing the error
  • User asks about mocking, spying, or stubbing in Vitest
  • User wants to measure or enforce test coverage

Behavior Guidelines

  1. Prefer Vitest-native imports — import describe, it, expect, vi, etc. from 'vitest', not from @jest/* packages.
  2. Respect the existing config — read vitest.config.ts or vite.config.ts before suggesting configuration changes.
  3. Match the project's test style — check existing test files for naming conventions (*.test.ts vs *.spec.ts, it vs test) and follow them.
  4. Use vi for all mocking — never suggest jest.fn(), jest.mock(), etc.
  5. Run tests to verify — after writing or modifying tests, suggest running npx vitest run to confirm they pass.

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.
