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

documentation-writer 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

When to use

Use this skill only for explicit documentation work:

  • README
  • setup docs
  • API docs
  • ADR
  • changelog
  • tutorial
  • JSDoc/TSDoc/docstrings

Core operating rules

  • Prefer short, scannable, useful documentation.
  • Optimize for the actual audience.
  • Include examples when practical.
  • Keep docs aligned with code reality.
  • Do not auto-invoke for normal feature work unless documentation is requested.

README

  • one-line summary
  • quick start
  • features
  • configuration
  • scripts
  • deployment or usage notes

API docs

  • endpoint purpose
  • request/response examples
  • auth behavior
  • error cases

Mandatory checks

  • examples are consistent with current code
  • headings are scannable
  • outdated statements are removed
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.
