backend-server-verification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pmarashian/cursor-agent-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (378 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A procedure for starting and checking a backend development server, which runs the server-side part of an application during development. It checks the port, starts the server from the right folder, and confirms that it is ready.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before API tests to find port conflicts, launch the backend correctly, and verify readiness with a short health check.
Why use it?
It prevents long request timeouts and avoids mistaking a busy port or wrong directory for an API problem.

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

backend-server-verification 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 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
