Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 4 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00054 | $0.01271 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00635 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00254 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00127 |
Grade A, and why
litestar-styleguide 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 12d 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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
litestar-styleguide
This is the shared style baseline that every other skill in this plugin references. It exists so that cross-cutting rules (PEP 604 unions, async I/O, ruff + mypy + pyright, test file naming, CI/CD conventions) live in exactly one place — and individual skills stay focused on their framework or tool-specific surface.
What's in here
Each reference covers one slice of the code-style baseline. A sibling skill links to only the files relevant to its language / framework mix.
references/general.md— Cross-language principles (simplicity over cleverness, error handling, naming, DRY-when-it-pays)references/python.md— Python conventions (PEP 604 unions, docstrings, imports, ruff / mypy / pyright configuration)references/litestar.md— Litestar-specific baseline (guards, DTOs, DI, plugin use)references/typescript.md— TypeScript conventions (when paired with a frontend skill)references/testing.md— Testing conventions (pytest, vitest, fixtures, coverage)references/ci-cd.md— CI/CD conventions (GitHub Actions, matrix builds, caching)
How sibling skills consume this
Every SKILL.md in this plugin has a ## Shared Styleguide Baseline section near the bottom. That section links to a subset of these references — only the ones that apply to the skill's language / framework mix. For example:
skills/litestar/SKILL.mdlinks togeneral.md+python.md+litestar.mdskills/litestar-vite/SKILL.mdlinks togeneral.md+typescript.md+litestar.mdskills/litestar-testing/SKILL.mdlinks togeneral.md+testing.md+python.md+litestar.md
The sibling skill extends the baseline with its own tool-specific Code Style Rules, Quick Reference, Guardrails, and Validation — but it does not duplicate the baseline. If a convention is generic (type hints, naming, imports), it belongs here.
What ships with it
8 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.
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.

litestar-styleguide is a skill published in the GitHub repository litestar-org/litestar-skills (14 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,271 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
