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

roblox-datastores 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.

roblox-datastores

This skill delivers the authoritative, detailed knowledge required to implement robust, scalable, and safe persistent storage in Roblox experiences using Luau. LLMs often have outdated or incomplete information about the distinctions between datastore variants, the full power of versioning/metadata, configurable rate limits, precise caching behavior, and the exhaustive set of error conditions and quotas.

Primary official sources (consult these for the absolute latest):

Progressive disclosure in this skill:

  • Start here in SKILL.md for high-level decision making, recommended workflows, and checklists.
  • Read specific files in references/ for exhaustive technical details, tables, code samples, and edge cases when you need to implement or debug a particular aspect.
  • Treat scripts/ as maturity-labeled examples; adapt and test them in a dedicated experience.

When to use this skill

Activate for:

  • Implementing player data saving (progress, inventory, currency, settings, cosmetics).
  • Creating or querying leaderboards (persistent sorted numeric data).
  • Any cross-server or cross-place persistent state.
  • Bulk operations, data migration, or cleaning up old data.
  • Handling "right to be forgotten" (RTBF) / GDPR-style requests.
  • Debugging data loss, throttling errors, quota issues, or inconsistent reads.
  • Choosing between DataStores and MemoryStores (or combining them).
  • Setting up monitoring via Data Stores Manager or the observability dashboard.
  • Advanced patterns such as profile services, session locking, or safe concurrent updates.

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.
