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

documentation 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.

What it actually says

Documentation

This skill covers documentation expectations when contributing to HoloViz repositories.

Most HoloViz projects follow the Diátaxis documentation framework (tutorials, how-to guides, explanation, reference). Place new docs in the appropriate category. If the project doesn't follow Diátaxis yet, match the existing structure.

Contents

Docs Coverage

  • New features and enhancements must be documented. A PR that adds a parameter, method, or behavior change without updating docs is incomplete.
  • Build docs via pixi. Check pixi.toml for the task (e.g. pixi run docs-build).
  • Draft and review narrative prose (tutorials, how-to guides, explanations) with the deslop skill, starting from its Before drafting section, since readers who recognize LLM-drafted docs stop trusting them.

Example and Reference Notebooks

  • Run notebooks and review the rendered output, not just the code: watch for clipping/overlap (e.g. legend over plot), adequate size, and legible labels.
  • Demonstrate options representatively, not exhaustively — values distinct enough to show the effect, with hv.help(...) for the full list.
  • Cover each supported backend; add a per-backend gallery thumbnail if the docs gallery uses them.

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.
