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

setup 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 0: Intent

Use this skill when any of the following is true:

  • You are starting a new Android billing integration and have not yet configured Play Console, products, API access, or RTDN.
  • A teammate asks you to "set up Play billing" or "wire up server side purchase notifications" before any code lands.
  • You hit errors like "This version of the app is not configured for billing through Google Play", 403 responses from the Google Play Developer API, or missing Pub/Sub test notifications, and you need to retrace the environment setup.

Outcome: a verified environment with a Play Developer account, a linked Payments profile, an internal test track build, at least one active product, a service account with the right Play Console roles, and a Pub/Sub topic receiving Real Time Developer Notifications.

Phase 1: Discovery

Gather facts before changing anything. Ask or check:

  1. Does the developer account already exist, and is it individual or organization? Organization verification can take up to two weeks.
  2. Is there a verified Google Payments Center profile? Without it, you cannot create paid products or publish in app purchases.
  3. What is the app's package name, signing configuration, and current Play Console upload state (any track)?
  4. Which GCP project is linked to the Play Console app? RTDN and the Play Developer API both depend on this link.
  5. Does a service account already exist for this backend, and which roles are granted in the Play Console (not only in GCP IAM)?
  6. Is there an existing Pub/Sub topic, and has [email protected] been granted Publisher on it?
  7. Will the server side consumer use a push subscription (public HTTPS endpoint) or a pull subscription (firewalled or batched)?

If any answer is "unknown," treat it as a discovery task before executing Phase 3.

Phase 2: Plan

Work top down. Each step unblocks the next, so do not skip ahead.

  1. Register and verify the Google Play Developer Account; pay the one time $25 fee.
  2. Create and verify the Google Payments Center profile and tax information.
  3. Add the Play Billing Library 9.x dependency and upload a signed build to the internal test track.
  4. Create at least one product (one time product or subscription) and activate it.
  5. Link a GCP project to the Play Console app, create a service account, and grant minimum Play Console roles.
  6. Create a Pub/Sub topic, grant Google publish access, and create a push or pull subscription.
  7. Point Play Console RTDN at the full topic name and send a test notification.

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.
