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

Migration Guide 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 8d 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.

Migration Guide Writer

What this skill does

This skill produces a structured, developer-friendly migration guide for any upgrade that involves breaking changes. Given the old and new versions of an API, library, or framework, it documents every breaking change with before/after code examples, produces a step-by-step migration checklist, calls out known gotchas, and estimates effort. The result is documentation your users can follow without needing to dig through release notes themselves.

Use this when releasing a major version of a library, upgrading a critical dependency, or documenting a framework migration (e.g., React Router v5 → v6, Next.js 13 → 14, Postgres 15 → 16).

How to use

Claude Code / Cline

Copy this file to .agents/skills/migration-guide-writer/SKILL.md in your project root.

Then ask:

  • "Use the Migration Guide Writer skill to document the changes from v1 to v2 of our SDK."
  • "Write a migration guide for upgrading from React Router v5 to v6 using the Migration Guide Writer skill."

Provide the changelog, breaking change list, or old vs. new API code. The more context you give, the more accurate the guide.

Cursor

Add the "Prompt / Instructions" section to your .cursorrules file. Open both the old and new API files (or paste the changelog) and ask Cursor to write the migration guide.

Codex

Paste the old API code and the new API code (or a changelog listing breaking changes) along with the instructions below.

The Prompt / Instructions for the Agent

When asked to write a migration guide, follow these steps:

  1. Gather the breaking changes. Accept input in any form:

    • Old code + new code (diff or separate files)
    • A changelog or release notes listing breaking changes
    • A description of what changed
    • If given a library name and version range, use your knowledge of that library's known changes
  2. Categorize each breaking change by type:

    • API rename — a function, class, or property was renamed
    • Signature change — a function's parameters or return type changed
    • Removal — a feature, option, or API was removed with no replacement
    • Behavior change — the same call now behaves differently
    • Configuration change — config file format, env variable names, or defaults changed
    • Dependency change — a peer dependency was added, removed, or version-constrained

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.
