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 C, and why

devcontainer-setup scanned grade C 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 1mo 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- Python: if `pyproject.toml` declares a Python version different from the base default, set it in the Dockerfile via `uv python install <version> --default`. Add extensions `ms-python.python`, `ms-python.vscode-pylance`

Devcontainer setup

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger The user asks to add a new devcontainer or isolated Claude Code development environment to a repository that does not already have one, for Python, Node/TypeScript, Rust, Go, or a supported combination.
Authority Reversible local: writes only the repository's .devcontainer/ directory; rollback is version control. No remote mutation. No container is built, launched, published, or pushed.
Side effect Creates or replaces the five generated files under .devcontainer (Dockerfile, devcontainer.json, post_install.py, .zshrc, and install.sh) with project substitutions and merged language-specific features, settings, extensions, commands, and persistent-volume declarations.
Done All template placeholders are resolved; devcontainer.json is valid; every detected language is represented without duplicate configuration; postCreateCommand composes all required setup commands; the security mounts and token-forwarding contract are explicit; and the user receives both VS Code and CLI startup instructions without claiming the container was built or launched unless it was.

Inputs

Required: the repository root to scan for language manifests and to write .devcontainer/.

Optional, supplied by the user when known: a human-readable project name (otherwise inferred), a preferred Python version (otherwise the default from the base template), and a package manager choice for Node/TypeScript (otherwise detected from the lockfile).

Procedure

  1. Reject modification requests. If .devcontainer/ already exists, stop: this skill only adds a new devcontainer. Direct the user to edit the existing configuration. Do not trigger for general Docker, production container, or container lifecycle questions. Done when: the skill confirms .devcontainer/ is absent, or stops and directs the user to edit the existing config.

  2. Infer project name and slug. Probe in order and use the first match: package.json name field, pyproject.toml project.name, Cargo.toml package.name, go.mod module path (last segment after /), then the repository directory name as fallback. Derive the slug by lowercasing and replacing spaces and the underscore with hyphens. Keep the human-readable name distinct from the slug. Done when: a human-readable name and a derived slug are recorded.

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.
