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 | $0.00048 | $0.01028 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00411 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00206 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00103 |
Grade A, and why
api-patterns 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 1mo 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.

[OK] 决策检查清单（Decision Checklist）
设计 API 之前（Before designing an API）：
- Asked user about API consumers?（是否询问 API 消费者？）
- Chosen API style for THIS context?（是否为当前上下文选择 API 风格？） (REST/GraphQL/tRPC)
- Defined consistent response format?（是否定义统一响应格式？）
- Planned versioning strategy?（是否规划版本控制策略？）
- Considered authentication needs?（是否考虑认证需求？）
- Planned rate limiting?（是否规划频率限制？）
- Documentation approach defined?（是否定义文档方案？）
What ships with it
11 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.

api-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository MisonL/Ling (8 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,028 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.

mem0-oss-to-platform
Plan, then execute, a migration of a project from the mem0 open-source / self-hosted SDK (local Memory class) to the mem0 Platform / hosted SDK (MemoryClient). TRIGGER when: the developer wants to move, switch, or migrate mem0 off OSS/self-hosted to the hosted API, e.g. "migrate my mem0 setup to the platform", "switch…
agui-dotnet-protobuf
Use the protobuf wire transport (instead of the default Server-Sent Events) for an AG-UI connection with the AG-UI .NET SDK — a compact binary event stream negotiated via the Accept header. USE FOR: making an AGUIChatClient prefer protobuf by wiring an AGUIEventStreamHandler with ProtobufEventStreamFormatter (then…

Create FastAPI routers with CRUD operations, authentication dependencies, and proper response models. Use when building REST API endpoints, creating new routes, implementing CRUD operations, or adding authenticated endpoints in FastAPI applications.
dev-runtime
How the Node side of a dev stack runs without haven, and the backend host: pnpm dev (UI built once, backend reloading), pnpm dev:hmr (adds the Vite ui lane), tools/dev-runtime (api + worker in one Node process), backend reload on a file change, the debounce (quiet window + max wait), ports derived from PORT. Use when…
api-design
Use when settling the contract of an API you expose, before implementation: resources/URLs, REST vs GraphQL, versioning, one RFC 9457 error envelope, pagination, idempotency — emitted as OpenAPI 3.1. NOT implementing the endpoints (that is fastapi/nestjs/go/nodejs), NOT auth hardening (that is secure-coding), NOT…
