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

developer-advocacy 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 8d 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 — 409 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Developer Advocacy

This skill helps you with developer advocacy activities: conference talks, live coding demos, podcast appearances, and building in public. Covers talk proposals, demo prep, social presence, and measuring impact.


Before You Start

Load your audience context first. Read .agents/developer-audience-context.md to understand:

  • Who you're trying to reach (conferences they attend, podcasts they listen to)
  • What topics resonate (pain points, interests)
  • Your product's positioning (what story to tell)
  • Voice & tone (how formal/technical to be)

If the context file doesn't exist, run the developer-audience-context skill first.


Conference Talks

Finding the Right Conferences

Conference Type Best For Examples
Large industry Brand awareness, reach KubeCon, AWS re:Invent, React Summit
Regional Local community, accessible Local meetups, city tech conferences
Niche Targeted audience, expertise GraphQL Conf, RustConf
Company-hosted Ecosystem presence Vercel Ship, GitHub Universe
Unconferences Community connection BarCamps, DevOpsDays

Talk Proposal (CFP) Framework

The winning formula:

Specific Problem + Unique Angle + Clear Takeaways = Accepted Talk

CFP Template:

# Title
[Action verb] + [specific outcome] + [with/using what]
Example: "Building Real-Time Features with Edge Functions and WebSockets"

# Abstract (100-200 words)
[Hook: Problem or curiosity gap]
[What you'll cover]
[What attendees will learn/be able to do]

# Description (detailed, for reviewers)
[Problem context]
[Why this approach]
[Talk structure]
[Your credibility to give this talk]

# Outline
- [Time] Introduction / Problem statement
- [Time] Section 1
- [Time] Section 2
- [Time] Section 3
- [Time] Live demo / walkthrough
- [Time] Key takeaways / Q&A

# Audience
[Who this is for]
[Prerequisite knowledge]
[What they'll learn]

# Bio
[Your relevant experience]
[Why you're qualified]

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.
