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

publish-site scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Publish Site

Take a website, dashboard, or web app the user built (or you built for them) and put it online on infrastructure the user owns — GitHub Pages by default, Cloudflare Pages or Netlify when they need more. The discipline: preview locally for sign-off, version every deploy with a git tag, deploy through a provider ladder, verify the live URL with a real HTTP check, and keep rollback one command away.

This skill covers static sites and SPA build output (plain HTML/CSS/JS, or the dist//build/ folder from Vite/Next-export/Astro/etc.). It does not cover server-side runtimes — for throwaway serverless deploys with zero account setup, use the cloudflare-temporary-deploy optional skill instead.

When to Use

Load this skill when the user asks to:

  • Put a site online — "publish this", "host this somewhere", "give me a link I can share"
  • Deploy a dashboard, report, portfolio, docs site, or prototype you just generated
  • Update an already-published site with new content (redeploy = new version)
  • Roll back a bad deploy to the previous version
  • Pick a host — they don't care where, they just want a URL

Prerequisites

At least ONE authenticated provider CLI (check in this order):

  • GitHub Pages (default): gh auth status succeeds. Needs git too.
  • Cloudflare Pages: wrangler whoami succeeds (or CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN is set). Install: npm i -g wrangler or use npx wrangler@latest.
  • Netlify (fallback): netlify status succeeds. Install: npm i -g netlify-cli.

Plus:

  • A directory of static output to publish (site root or a dist//build/ folder). If the project needs a build step, run it first and publish the output directory, never the source.
  • For local preview sharing: cloudflared (optional — python3 -m http.server covers local-only preview).

How to Run

All commands below run via the terminal tool from the site's project directory. The pipeline is always the same five moves:

  1. Build → 2. Preview for sign-off → 3. Commit + tag (version-before-deploy) → 4. Deploy via the provider ladder → 5. Verify the live URL with curl and report it.
