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 | $0.00079 | $0.01015 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00508 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00203 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00102 |
Grade A, and why
gof-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 9d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to gof-patterns — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Gang of Four Patterns in TypeScript
The 23 classic design patterns from Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides), adapted to idiomatic TypeScript.
🎯 Why: Design for Change
The goal of writing software is to be able to change it safely. Every GoF pattern is a named seam that isolates one axis of change: Strategy hides algorithm choice, Adapter hides a vendor swap, Observer hides who's listening, Factory hides what's instantiated. Reach for a pattern when you have a demonstrated axis of change to absorb. A pattern installed speculatively adds coupling without buying any change-safety.
How to use this skill
- Identify the kind of problem from the decision guide below.
- Open the matching reference file for the full TypeScript example and the "when to use / when not to" notes.
- Prefer the simplest construct that solves the problem. In TypeScript, a union type, a closure, or a plain function often beats a class-heavy pattern. Reach for a GoF pattern when the indirection earns its keep.

Decision guide — symptom → pattern
| You are trying to… | Consider | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Create objects without naming the concrete class | Factory Method, Abstract Factory | Creational |
| Build a complex object step by step | Builder | Creational |
| Copy an existing object | Prototype | Creational |
| Guarantee exactly one instance | Singleton (often a module instead) | Creational |
| Make an incompatible interface usable | Adapter | Structural |
| Vary abstraction and implementation independently | Bridge | Structural |
| Treat individual objects and groups uniformly | Composite | Structural |
| Add behavior to objects without subclassing | Decorator | Structural |
| Hide a complex subsystem behind one interface | Facade | Structural |
| Share many fine-grained objects cheaply | Flyweight | Structural |
| Control access to an object (lazy, remote, guarded) | Proxy | Structural |
| Pass a request along a series of handlers | Chain of Responsibility | Behavioral |
| Encapsulate a request as an object (undo, queue) | Command | Behavioral |
| Evaluate sentences in a small language | Interpreter | Behavioral |
| Traverse a collection without exposing its structure | Iterator | Behavioral |
| Reduce many-to-many object coupling | Mediator | Behavioral |
| Capture and restore object state | Memento | Behavioral |
| Notify dependents of state changes | Observer | Behavioral |
| Change behavior when internal state changes | State | Behavioral |
| Swap one of several algorithms at runtime | Strategy | Behavioral |
| Fix an algorithm skeleton, vary steps | Template Method | Behavioral |
| Add operations to a class hierarchy without editing it | Visitor | Behavioral |
What ships with it
3 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.

gof-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository opagani/cassini-workshop (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,015 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to gof-patterns, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
add-export
Add a new subpath export to the @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core package. Use when creating a new public API surface that consumers import from a dedicated subpath (e.g., @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/newutil).
fluent-development
This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a fluent app", "create a servicenow app in typescript", or mentions "servicenow sdk", "now-sdk", "fluent", "scoped app as code", or "pro-code development" — or when the working directory contains a now.config.json or .now.ts files.
kernelcad-authoring
Author or modify kernelCAD models in TypeScript. Scripts live in .kcad.ts files; the kernelCAD CLI (kernelcad evaluate and kernelcad export stl|step|dxf|3mf|glb -o ) executes them via an OpenCASCADE WASM kernel.
migrate-waniwani-sdk-0.16-to-0.17
Migrate a project from @waniwani/sdk 0.16.x to 0.17.0 and auto-apply its breaking change: useWaniwani() from @waniwani/sdk/mcp/react no longer auto-discovers its config from a WidgetProvider context or by opening its own host connection, so a bare useWaniwani() in a widget silently stops tracking. Skybridge widgets…

Migrate a project from @waniwani/sdk 0.17.x to 0.18.0 and auto-apply its breaking change: the generic funnel events quote.requested, quote.succeeded, quote.failed, and purchase.completed are removed from the track() taxonomy (with the QuoteSucceededProperties / PurchaseCompletedProperties types and the legacy…
