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 | $0.00059 | $0.02608 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.01304 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00522 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00261 |
Grade A, and why
dev-to-hashnode 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 3d 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 — 385 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dev.to & Hashnode Publishing
Developer blogging platforms offer built-in audiences of hundreds of thousands of developers. This skill covers cross-posting strategy, platform-specific optimization, and building followers on Dev.to and Hashnode.
Before You Start
- Read
.agents/developer-audience-context.mdif it exists - Decide your canonical URL strategy (important for SEO)
- Create accounts on both platforms to reserve your username
- Understand: These platforms reward consistency and engagement

Cross-Posting Strategy
The Canonical URL Decision
| Strategy | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Original on your blog | SEO to your domain, full control | Platforms may rank lower |
| Original on Dev.to | Maximum initial reach | No SEO to your domain |
| Original on Hashnode (custom domain) | SEO + platform reach | Smaller initial audience |
Best Practice: Your Blog + Cross-Post
- Publish on your blog first — This is canonical
- Wait 1-2 days — Let Google index your original
- Cross-post to Dev.to — Set canonical URL to your blog
- Cross-post to Hashnode — Set canonical URL to your blog
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.
