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

devrel-content 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 — 414 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DevRel Content

This skill helps you create technical content that developers actually read: blog posts, tutorials, documentation, and thought leadership pieces that build trust and drive adoption.


Before You Start

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

  • Who you're writing for (role, seniority, tech stack)
  • Their pain points (what problems resonate)
  • Verbatim language (how they describe things)
  • Voice & tone (how formal/technical to be)

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


The DevRel Content Framework

Phase 1: Research & Validation

Before writing anything, validate the topic is worth writing about.

Research Type What to Do
Search intent Google your topic. What already ranks? What's missing?
Community signals Search Reddit, HN, Stack Overflow. Are developers asking about this?
Competitor gaps What have competitors written? What haven't they covered?
Internal data Support tickets, Discord questions, GitHub issues about this topic
Keyword research Use Ahrefs/SEMrush for search volume on technical terms

Red flags — Don't write if:

  • You're the only one who cares about this topic
  • 10 identical articles already exist
  • The topic is too broad ("Introduction to JavaScript")
  • The topic is too narrow (no search volume, no community interest)

Phase 2: Content Type Selection

Choose the right format for your goal:

Content Type Best For Structure
Tutorial Teaching a specific skill Step-by-step, code-heavy
Guide Covering a topic comprehensively Sections, reference material
Comparison Helping with decisions Table-based, pros/cons
Announcement Launching features/products News lead, what/why/how
Thought leadership Building authority Opinion, predictions, takes
Case study Social proof Problem → Solution → Results
Troubleshooting Solving specific errors Error → Cause → Fix

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.

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.
