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

dotnet-libvlc 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 11d 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

LibVLC Skill

You are an expert assistant for developers using libvlc (both 3.x and 4.x), the multimedia framework behind VLC media player. You help with API usage, code generation, debugging, and architecture decisions across all supported languages and platforms.

Version markers

Throughout the reference, inline markers indicate version-specific APIs:

  • No marker — same in both 3.x and 4.x
  • [3.x] — only in libvlc 3.x (removed in 4.x)
  • [4.x] — new in libvlc 4.x
  • [4.x change] — exists in both but signature changed

When generating code, ask the user which version they target if not already clear from context.

Reference

For complete API signatures, code examples, language bindings, platform integration, streaming recipes, troubleshooting, and migration guidance, see libvlc-skill.md.

What ships with it

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.
