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

article-icons 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_icon.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Article Icons (itshover)

Add tasteful icons to an article using the itshover icon set. itshover publishes 263 icons as shadcn registry components; this skill downloads them and converts each into a clean, static, inline SVG that drops straight into Markdown or HTML — no React, no motion, no build step.

Triggers

Use when the user wants to illustrate a document with icons:

  • /article-icons <file>
  • "给这篇文章配图标", "给文章配图", "add icons to this article", "illustrate with icons"

Inputs

  • Target file — the article to illustrate (.md, .html, .mdx, ...). If not given, ask.
  • Style preferences (optional) — color, size, where icons go. Otherwise use sensible defaults below.

The Tool

scripts/fetch_icon.py is the only moving part. It fetches an icon and prints static SVG to stdout.

# Get one icon (defaults: size 24, color currentColor, stroke-width 2)
python3 scripts/fetch_icon.py heart-icon

# Customize
python3 scripts/fetch_icon.py rocket-icon --size 32 --color "#d97757" --stroke-width 1.5

# Discover names (do this FIRST — names must match exactly)
python3 scripts/fetch_icon.py --list
python3 scripts/fetch_icon.py --search arrow
python3 scripts/fetch_icon.py --search brand

scripts/icon_names.json is a cached list of all 263 names for offline reference.

Most icon names end in -icon (e.g. heart-icon, rocket-icon, database-icon), and brands use brand-<name>-icon (e.g. brand-anthropic-icon). But the convention is not universal — real names include shield-check, credit-card, down-chevron, apple-brand-logo, skull-emoji. Never guess a name. Always resolve it with --search first — a wrong guess just wastes a 404.

Workflow

  1. Read the article. Identify its structure: title, section headings (#/##/<h1>/<h2>), key concepts, list groups, callouts/warnings, and any tech/brand mentions (React, GitHub, AI tools...).

  2. Plan the icon map. For each placement, choose a semantically matching icon. Match meaning, not just keywords — a "performance" section → rocket-icon or zap-icon; a "security" section → shield-icon or lock-icon; a warning callout → alert-triangle-icon. Prefer one consistent icon family (all outline, one color) so the article looks designed, not decorated. Resolve every name with --search.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
