litestar is a skill for Claude Code from litestar-org/litestar-skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,113 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for Litestar 2.24.0, a Python framework for building web APIs and applications. It directs different development tasks to more focused Litestar guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up a Litestar application or working with litestar.toml, Litestar configuration, project dependencies, or the main Litestar app setup.
Why use it?
It helps keep application setup consistent and avoids using unreleased APIs. It also separates concerns such as routing, request schemas, authentication, dependency wiring, data access, and settings.

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

litestar 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 11d 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.

Litestar Routing Hub

Use this skill to choose the right focused Litestar skill and keep app-level choices coherent. For implementation details, open the narrow skill that matches the task.

This guidance targets the released Litestar 2.24.0 contract. Do not copy unreleased main APIs into consumer examples.

Code Style Rules

  • Prefer first-party Litestar ecosystem packages and patterns.
  • Match the project's existing stack for data access, serialization, DI, settings, background jobs, and deployment.
  • Keep app setup thin: compose routes, plugins, dependencies, middleware, exception handlers, and settings from domain modules.
  • Use async I/O for request handlers, service methods, background integration, and external clients.

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.
