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

step-by-step-web-project-builder 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 4d 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.

Step-by-Step Web Project Builder

When building a web app for learning purposes, follow these instructions:

  1. Learning Plan First: Write a compact learning plan in the user's requested medium or the current workspace. Outline the key concepts that will be covered (e.g., components, state management, API calls, routing).
  2. Stack Selection: Use beginner-friendly stacks (e.g., Vite + ReactJS + Tailwind for frontend; Node/Express for backend if needed).
  3. Phased Development: Generate code in small, logical phases:
    • Phase 1: Setup & Configuration
    • Phase 2: Basic UI & Skeleton
    • Phase 3: Interactivity & Logic
    • Phase 4: Data Fetching / External APIs
    • Phase 5: Polish & Deployment-ready
  4. Pause and Explain: After each phase, pause for user review. Explain exactly what changed and why.
  5. Annotated Code: Include comments in the code explaining key lines and logic.
  6. Encourage Practice: Suggest manual edits for the user to try for practice (e.g., "Implement dark mode yourself using this hint...").
  7. Verification: Test in the browser and report results, including screenshots if available.
  8. Project Summary: At the end of the build, provide a summary of what was learned and suggest next project ideas to level up (e.g., moving from a todo app to a full CRUD app with authentication).

Cross-Client Portability

This skill is written to stay usable across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex.

  • GitHub Copilot: keep the folder in a Copilot-visible skill path or wrap the workflow in project instructions when folder discovery is unavailable.
  • Claude Code: keep the folder in a local skills directory or a compatible plugin source.
  • Codex: install or sync the folder into $CODEX_HOME/skills/step-by-step-web-project-builder and restart Codex after major changes.

MCP Availability And Fallback

Preferred MCP Server: None required

  • Fallback prompt: "Use the Step-by-Step Web Project Builder skill without MCP. Rely on its local instructions, bundled resources, standard shell or editor tools, and direct verification. Show the evidence used before concluding."
  • Do not claim an MCP operation was used when the active host does not expose it.
  • Treat local files, tests, rendered outputs, logs, or screenshots as the fallback evidence path.

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.
