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

create-mobile-app 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 yesterday.

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.

Fresh-template working-directory mode

This skill assumes the user already has a fresh microsoft/power-platform-skills/plugins/mobile-apps/template#main template materialized with degit in the target working directory and has already run npm install there. The skill turns that fresh template into an app; it does not clone, degit, or copy a template itself.

Fresh template required. If the working directory is not a template, or if it already looks like an app created by this skill, STOP and tell the user to materialize a fresh microsoft/power-platform-skills/plugins/mobile-apps/template#main template with degit into a new folder, run npm install, then rerun /create-mobile-app --working-dir <fresh-template-dir>.

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.
