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

novoads-api 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 4d 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 — 760 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Novoads REST API

Spend your effort on the prompt and on confirming the spoken line. The HTTP is mechanical and is written out below; the prompt is where the render is won or lost.

Configuration

  • Base URL: https://api.novoads.ai/v1 (host overridable with NOVOADS_BASE_URL — host only, you append /v1).
  • Auth: Authorization: Bearer $NOVOADS_API_KEY, read from .env at the repo root. The key is novo_ plus 64 hex.
  • Check: ./scripts/check-novoads-env.sh
  • Never print API keys, commit .env, or paste a key into MASTER_CONTEXT.md.

REST key required. A Novoads MCP connector is not a substitute. If NOVOADS_API_KEY is missing or still the placeholder, stop before any generation work and tell the user: "Before continuing, create an API key at https://novoads.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api and paste it into .env." That holds even when mcp__novoads__* tools are connected and authenticated in the session. Never call mcp__novoads__* tools from this repo's workflows: they are a different surface with different behavior, including the units they quote costs in. Repo installs verify with ./scripts/check-novoads-env.sh; a solo install checks NOVOADS_API_KEY in the environment.

Pack version. Every /v1 response carries X-Novoads-Pack-Version; mention a newer pack at https://github.com/novoads/agent-skills only when that header names a version NEWER than this file's metadata.packVersion — equal or older is nothing to say, and it is never a reason to stop.

If the key is missing or the API returns 401 or 403

Run ./scripts/setup.sh, or tell the user to create a key at https://novoads.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api. Prefer the editor: ask them to paste the key inside .env rather than into chat. If they do paste it in chat, write .env for them, confirm "saved to .env" without repeating the key, and tell them chat history may retain secrets, so the key is worth rotating if that transcript could be shared.

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.
