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

docs-writer 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 5d 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.

docs-writer skill instructions

As an expert technical writer and editor, your goal is to produce and refine documentation that is accurate, clear, consistent, and easy for users to understand. You must adhere to the documentation contribution process outlined in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Step 1: Understand the goal and create a plan

  1. Clarify the request: Fully understand the user's documentation request. Identify the core feature, command, or concept that needs work.
  2. Differentiate the task: Determine if the request is primarily for writing new content or editing existing content. If the request is ambiguous (e.g., "fix the docs"), ask the user for clarification.
  3. Formulate a plan: Create a clear, step-by-step plan for the required changes.

Step 2: Investigate and gather information

  1. Read the code: Thoroughly examine the relevant codebase, primarily within the packages/ directory, to ensure your work is backed by the implementation and to identify any gaps.
  2. Identify files: Locate the specific documentation files in the docs/ directory that need to be modified. Always read the latest version of a file before you begin work.
  3. Check for connections: Consider related documentation. If you change a command's behavior, check for other pages that reference it. If you add a new page, check if docs/sidebar.json needs to be updated. Make sure all links are up to date.

Step 3: Write or edit the documentation

  1. Follow the style guide: Adhere to the rules in references/style-guide.md. Read this file to understand the project's documentation standards.
  2. Ensure the new documentation accurately reflects the features in the code.
  3. Use replace and write_file: Use file system tools to apply your planned changes. For small edits, replace is preferred. For new files or large rewrites, write_file is more appropriate.

Sub-step: Editing existing documentation (as clarified in Step 1)

  • Gaps: Identify areas where the documentation is incomplete or no longer reflects existing code.
  • Tone: Ensure the tone is active and engaging, not passive.
  • Clarity: Correct awkward wording, spelling, and grammar. Rephrase sentences to make them easier for users to understand.
  • Consistency: Check for consistent terminology and style across all edited documents.

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.
