What is sanity-best-practices?

A broad Sanity development guide covering its content-management studio, structured content schemas, GROQ queries, TypeGen, images, rich text, visual editing, and framework integrations.

Use it when setting up Sanity, designing schemas, writing queries, generating types, configuring Studio, adding previews, migrating content, or integrating frameworks such as Next.js or Astro.

It helps choose relevant implementation patterns for Sanity projects instead of treating schema, querying, editing, localization, and integrations as unrelated problems.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00160	$0.00837
Opus 5	$0.00080	$0.00418
Sonnet 5	$0.00032	$0.00167
Haiku 4.5	$0.00016	$0.00084

Security

Grade A, and why

sanity-best-practices 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 13d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to sanity-best-practices — 26 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What ships with it

24 files 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.
