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

askit-build-docs 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 10d 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.

askit-build-docs

Purpose

Author and improve a plugin's human-and-agent-facing documentation, following the builder pattern (../../docs/reference/builder-pattern.md). create scaffolds a doc from the component index and the Standard; improve reads askit-evaluate findings and the docs and fixes gaps. Doc modes follow the Diataxis split: readme, quickstart, tutorial (learning), how-to (task), reference, glossary, faq, troubleshooting (information), and architecture (an overview that links to a detailed companion, the summary-plus-detailed convention). The folder-readme mode scaffolds or refreshes a meaningful folder's README.md so its inventory matches the folder's actual children (the G8 anti-rot guard). The site mode stands up an Astro Starlight documentation site from the pinned recipe in references/docs-site-recipe.md. Mermaid is a validated convention, not a skill.

When to use

When authoring or refreshing a plugin's docs, standing up a docs site, or aligning documentation with the component index after a change.

create mode

  1. Read library.json + component frontmatter (the index) and the target doc type.
  2. Scaffold the doc from the matching Diataxis shape (one purpose per page). README and architecture lead with a summary and link to detail.
  3. Cross-link: every relative link must resolve (the U6 reference-link rule is the discipline to mirror).

improve mode

  1. Run npx agent-skills-toolkit evaluate . --json and read the docs for drift against the component index (a renamed or removed component leaves a dangling reference).
  2. Fix each gap; keep prose tight (the ETH-Zurich finding: verbose context files lower agent task success).

site mode

  1. Follow references/docs-site-recipe.md: copy the pinned ../pm-skills stack (Astro 6 + @astrojs/starlight ~0.39 + astro-mermaid ~2.0, ordered mermaid-before-starlight), the GitHub Pages site + base, and the generated Pattern S content collection (ADR 0024 D2): the stock docsLoader() over src/content/docs/, a gen-docs-site.mjs generator that emits the public docs/** tree there (gitignored, rebuilt via a generate() call at the top of astro.config.mjs, link-rewritten so the clause-14.11 guard stays green), and curated landing pages on top. Not an in-place glob over ./docs.
  2. Wire the deploy workflow (.github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml, triggered on site/** and docs/**) and verify npm run build plus the link/route/untracked guards are green before publishing (standing up a live site is a separate, build-verified slice; the recipe is the contract).

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.
