Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.01322 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00661 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00264 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00132 |
Grade A, and why
managing-load-balancers scanned grade A 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 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.

Managing Load Balancers
Design and configure DigitalOcean Load Balancers for high availability, SSL termination, and traffic distribution.
When to Use
- Distributing traffic across multiple Droplets
- Implementing high availability
- SSL/TLS termination
- Health-based routing
- User mentions: "load balancer", "HA", "distribute traffic", "SSL termination"
Load Balancer Types
| Type | Use Case | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Regional | Single-region HA | ~$12/mo |
| Global | Multi-region traffic | ~$15/mo base |
| Network (TCP/UDP) | Non-HTTP protocols | ~$12/mo |
| Internal | Private traffic only | ~$12/mo |
The Process
1. Requirements
Questions to ask:
- HTTP/HTTPS or TCP/UDP traffic?
- Single region or global?
- Need sticky sessions?
- SSL certificate ready?
- How many backend Droplets?
2. Health Check Design
Path: /health or /healthz
Port: Same as forwarding port
Protocol: HTTP or HTTPS
CheckIntervalSeconds: 10
ResponseTimeoutSeconds: 5
UnhealthyThreshold: 3
HealthyThreshold: 5
Critical: Health endpoint must return 200 when service is ready.
3. Forwarding Rules
HTTP to HTTPS Redirect
ForwardingRules:
- EntryProtocol: http
EntryPort: 80
TargetProtocol: http
TargetPort: 80
# Handled by redirect rule
- EntryProtocol: https
EntryPort: 443
TargetProtocol: http
TargetPort: 8080
CertificateID: <cert-id>
TCP Pass-through
ForwardingRules:
- EntryProtocol: tcp
EntryPort: 5432
TargetProtocol: tcp
TargetPort: 5432
4. Create Load Balancer
load-balancer-create:
Name: lb-<environment>-<service>
Region: <region>
ForwardingRules:
- EntryProtocol: https
EntryPort: 443
TargetProtocol: http
TargetPort: 8080
CertificateID: <cert-id>
HealthCheck:
Protocol: http
Port: 8080
Path: /health
CheckIntervalSeconds: 10
ResponseTimeoutSeconds: 5
UnhealthyThreshold: 3
HealthyThreshold: 5
DropletIDs: [<droplet-id-1>, <droplet-id-2>]
Algorithm: round_robin
StickySessions:
Type: none
RedirectHttpToHttps: true
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.

managing-load-balancers is a skill published in the GitHub repository iamnolanhu/digitalocean-skills (4 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,322 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
