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

write-dev-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependency Check

Before starting, check optional dependencies:

  1. qmd (optional): Run command -v qmd.
    • If available: Use qmd query for semantic search across knowledge bases — this gives the best results.
    • If missing: Fall back to Grep and Glob for keyword search. Note to the user that qmd would improve search quality, but proceed without it.

Developer Documentation Generator

Generate Stripe-quality developer documentation — API references, integration guides, code recipes, and Postman collections — from any input source.

Quick Start

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine:

  1. Doc type: api-reference, guide, recipe, postman
  2. Subject name: The resource, feature, or API being documented
  3. Additional context: Language preferences, audience level, specific endpoints

If doc type is not specified, ask the user which type they need.

Triggers:

  • /write-dev-docs api-reference payments — API reference for payments resource
  • /write-dev-docs guide getting-started — Integration quickstart guide
  • /write-dev-docs recipe create-payment — Multi-language code recipe
  • /write-dev-docs postman payments-api — Exportable Postman collection
  • "Write API docs for..." / "Create a developer guide for..." / "Generate code samples for..."

Scope — this skill is for:

  • API endpoint documentation (REST)
  • Developer integration guides and tutorials
  • Multi-language code samples and recipes
  • Postman/API client collections

NOT for:

  • PM documents (PRDs, specs, briefs) → use write-doc
  • UX copy or UI text → use write-ux-copy
  • SDK source code or library implementation
  • Internal architecture docs

Doc Types

Type Command Output Audience Reference
API Reference api-reference [resource] Endpoint-by-endpoint reference with params, responses, errors Developers integrating the API references/api-reference-format.md
Integration Guide guide [name] Step-by-step tutorial from zero to working code Developers new to the platform references/guide-format.md
Code Recipe recipe [use-case] Multi-language copy-paste snippets (cURL, Node.js, Python) Developers building specific features references/code-recipe-format.md
Postman Collection postman [api-name] Exportable Postman v2.1 JSON with test scripts Developers testing and exploring the API references/postman-format.md

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.
