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

wp-readme-optimizer 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 7d 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WordPress Plugin readme.txt Optimizer

This skill reviews a WordPress.org plugin readme.txt file with a structured audit, scores each section, and then produces a fully rewritten version. The goal is higher visibility in the WordPress.org plugin directory, better conversion of visitors to installs, and a more trustworthy plugin page.

Rewrite recipes live in AGENTS.md — read it when producing the rewritten readme.

Workflow

  1. Read the readme.txt — If a file is attached, read it. If the user pasted content, use that. If neither, ask the user to provide the readme.txt content.
  2. Infer the target keyword — Before scoring, identify what keyword(s) this plugin should rank for. This anchors the entire audit.
  3. Run the audit — Score each section and write specific, actionable findings.
  4. Produce the rewrite — Deliver a drop-in replacement readme.txt, incorporating all audit findings. Follow the recipes in AGENTS.md.

Phase 0: Keyword Inference

Before scoring, output: Primary keyword (the 2-3 word phrase most likely to drive installs), Secondary keywords (3-4 supporting terms), Inferred from (plugin name / tags / description), Confidence (high / medium / low).

Infer by asking: "If a WordPress site owner needed this plugin, what would they type into the search bar?" Look at the plugin name, tags, and the first paragraph. If confidence is low, add <!-- Couldn't confidently infer primary keyword --> and proceed with your best guess.

All scoring in Phase 1 is evaluated against this inferred keyword.


Phase 1: Audit

Scoring

Score each of the 8 sections below out of 10 (total /80). Show a summary table at the top of the audit. Score ranges: 65-80 strong (polish only), 45-64 solid with gaps, 25-44 significant problems, 0-24 bare minimum.

For each section, write 2-5 specific findings. A finding should name the problem, explain why it matters, and suggest a fix. Never be generic -- always refer to the actual content.

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.
