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

firebase-remote-config-basics 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 17d 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.

Remote Config

This skill provides a complete guide for getting started with Remote Config on Android or iOS. Remote Config allows you to change the behavior and appearance of your app without publishing an app update by maintaining a cloud-based configuration template.

Prerequisites

Provisioning Remote Config requires both a Firebase project and a Firebase app, either Android or iOS. To manage the Remote Config template and conditions via the command line, use the Firebase CLI. See the firebase-basics skill for references on project initialization.

Troubleshooting Execution

Handling npx 403 Forbidden Errors

If npx -y firebase-tools@latest fails due to registry permissions (403 error):

  1. Inform the user: "I am unable to fetch the latest Firebase tools via npx due to a registry error."
  2. Fallback: Attempt to use the local firebase command directly if the user confirms it is installed globally (npm install -g firebase-tools).

Handling Project Context Issues

If a command fails because "no active project is selected":

  1. Check login: Run npx -y firebase-tools@latest login:list.
  2. Prompt for ID: If logged in but no project is active, ask the user: "Please provide your Firebase Project ID to proceed."
  3. Use Flag: Append --project <PROJECT_ID> to every subsequent command.

SDK Setup

To learn how to set up Remote Config in your application code, choose your platform:

Best Practices and Template Management

Follow these guidelines and use the associated CLI tools to ensure efficient and safe use of Remote Config.

Fetching Strategies

To optimize app performance and user experience, follow these recommended patterns (see Loading Strategies):

  • Load new values for next startup: The most effective pattern is to activate previously fetched values immediately on startup and fetch new values in the background to be used next time. This minimizes user wait time.
  • Real-time Updates: Use the SDK's real-time listener to update the app instantly without a refresh when server-side configuration changes.

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.
