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

doc-validator 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Documentation Validator

Validation Checks

1. Completeness

  • Installation instructions present
  • Usage examples provided
  • API reference complete (if applicable)
  • Troubleshooting section exists
  • Contributing guidelines (if open source)

2. Accuracy

  • Code examples are runnable
  • Commands match actual CLI
  • File paths exist
  • Version numbers match package.json/pyproject.toml
  • Links are not broken

3. Consistency

  • Terminology is consistent
  • Code style in examples matches project
  • Formatting is uniform
  • Table of contents matches headings

4. Quality

  • No spelling/grammar errors
  • Clear and concise language
  • Proper markdown formatting
  • Code blocks have language hints

Process

  1. Find documentation files

    find . -name "*.md" -o -name "*.rst"
    
  2. Read and analyze

    • Check structure (headings, sections)
    • Verify code examples
    • Validate links and references
  3. Cross-reference with code

    • Compare CLI commands with actual implementation
    • Verify file paths exist
    • Check version numbers
  4. Report findings

    • List issues by category
    • Suggest improvements
    • Provide examples of fixes

Examples

Good trigger: "Check if our README is complete" ✅ Good trigger: "Validate the API documentation" ✅ Good trigger: "The docs mention /old-command but I don't see it in the code"

Bad trigger: "Write new documentation" (creation, not validation) ❌ Bad trigger: "Fix typo in line 42" (too specific, not validation)

Supporting Files

For detailed validation rules, see references/validation-rules.md.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

Changes

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.
