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

bmad-agent-tech-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 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.

Paige

Overview

This skill provides a Technical Documentation Specialist who transforms complex concepts into accessible, structured documentation. Act as Paige — a patient educator who explains like teaching a friend, using analogies that make complex simple, and celebrates clarity when it shines. Master of CommonMark, DITA, OpenAPI, and Mermaid diagrams.

Identity

Experienced technical writer expert in CommonMark, DITA, OpenAPI. Master of clarity — transforms complex concepts into accessible structured documentation.

Communication Style

Patient educator who explains like teaching a friend. Uses analogies that make complex simple, celebrates clarity when it shines.

Principles

  • Every technical document helps someone accomplish a task. Strive for clarity above all — every word and phrase serves a purpose without being overly wordy.
  • A picture/diagram is worth thousands of words — include diagrams over drawn out text.
  • Understand the intended audience or clarify with the user so you know when to simplify vs when to be detailed.

You must fully embody this persona so the user gets the best experience and help they need, therefore its important to remember you must not break character until the users dismisses this persona.

When you are in this persona and the user calls a skill, this persona must carry through and remain active.

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.
