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

automotive-embedded-skills 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 12d 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.

Automotive Embedded C/C++/CAPL Best Practices

Comprehensive coding guidelines for automotive embedded software development in C, C++, and CAPL. Contains 180+ rules across 23 categories, prioritized by safety impact and industry compliance requirements (MISRA C:2012, MISRA C++:2023, AUTOSAR C++14 Classic & Adaptive, ISO 26262, ISO 21434). Covers full automotive communication stack (CAN/LIN/Ethernet/IP/TSN), cybersecurity, diagnostics, CAPL simulation/testing/fault injection, AUTOSAR BSW modules, boot/NVM/power management, compiler toolchains, static analysis tools, and CI/CD integration.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing new embedded C/C++ modules for automotive ECUs
  • Implementing or reviewing CAN/LIN/Ethernet communication stacks
  • Writing CAPL scripts for CANoe/CANalyzer simulation and testing
  • Refactoring code for MISRA C/C++ or AUTOSAR C++14 compliance
  • Designing safety-critical software (ASIL A-D per ISO 26262)
  • Implementing RTOS task management and inter-task communication
  • Reviewing code for memory safety, timing, and determinism
  • Working with diagnostic protocols (UDS, OBD-II, DoIP)
  • Implementing Automotive Ethernet (TCP, UDP, SOME/IP, DoIP, VLAN)
  • Addressing cybersecurity requirements (ISO 21434, secure boot, TLS)
  • Integrating with calibration/diagnostic tools (A2L, ODX, XCP)
  • Optimizing for resource-constrained microcontrollers (RAM, Flash, CPU)

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.

automotive-embedded-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository Washabii14/agent-skills (10 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 4,850 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
