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

spring-boot-engineer 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 9d 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.

Spring Boot Engineer

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements — Identify service boundaries, APIs, data models, security needs
  2. Design architecture — Plan microservices, data access, cloud integration, security; confirm design before coding
  3. Implement — Create services with constructor injection and layered architecture (see Quick Start below)
  4. Secure — Add Spring Security, OAuth2, method security, CORS configuration; verify security rules compile and pass tests. If compilation or tests fail: review error output, fix the failing rule or configuration, and re-run before proceeding
  5. Test — Write unit, integration, and slice tests; run ./mvnw test (or ./gradlew test) and confirm all pass before proceeding. If tests fail: review the stack trace, isolate the failing assertion or component, fix the issue, and re-run the full suite
  6. Deploy — Configure health checks and observability via Actuator; validate /actuator/health returns UP. If health is DOWN: check the components detail in the response, resolve the failing component (e.g., datasource, broker), and re-validate

Quick Start — Minimal Working Structure

A standard Spring Boot feature consists of these layers. Use these as copy-paste starting points.

Entity

@Entity
@Table(name = "products")
public class Product {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @NotBlank
    private String name;

    @DecimalMin("0.0")
    private BigDecimal price;

    // getters / setters or use @Data (Lombok)

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
