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 | $0.00118 | $0.03193 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.01597 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00639 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00319 |
Grade A, and why
wow-api-escape-sequences 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 354 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
WoW UI Escape Sequences
This skill documents the UI escape sequences available in World of Warcraft addon development. Many UI elements that display text on screen support special sequences starting with the | (pipe) character. These sequences enable inline coloring, texture/atlas rendering, grammar inflection, word-wrapping hints, and more — all within ordinary Lua strings.
Source of truth: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/UI_escape_sequences Current as of: Patch 12.0.0 (Retail only) Scope: All
|escape sequences recognized by the WoW UI text renderer.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Embed color codes in chat messages, tooltips, or FontStrings
- Use named global colors (
|cn) or item-quality colors (|cnIQ) - Insert inline textures or atlas icons into text
- Apply localized grammar rules (Korean, French, Russian, plurals, articles)
- Understand word-wrap hints (
|W) or Kstring obfuscation (|K) - Use helper functions like
WrapTextInColorCode(),CreateTextureMarkup(),CreateSimpleTextureMarkup(), orCreateAtlasMarkup()
Relationship to Other Skills
| Skill | Relationship |
|---|---|
wow-api-framexml |
Covers utility functions (WrapTextInColorCode, CreateTextureMarkup, CreateSimpleTextureMarkup, CreateAtlasMarkup) that generate escape-sequence markup from Lua. |
wow-api-widget |
FontString, EditBox, SimpleHTML, GameTooltip and other text-displaying widgets render these sequences. |
wow-lua-api |
Lua string.format, print(), and chat functions emit strings that can contain these sequences. |
Important: The Pipe Character
In Lua source code you can use | directly:
print("|cFFFF0000Red text|r normal")
In the chat window or in-game text editors, the literal | is escaped. Use \124 (the ASCII code for pipe) instead:
/run print("\124cFFFF0000Red text\124r normal")
Coloring
ARGB Hex Color
|cAARRGGBBtext|r
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.

wow-api-escape-sequences is a skill published in the GitHub repository JBurlison/WoWAddonAPIAgents (43 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 3,193 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
