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 | $0.00044 | $0.01524 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00610 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00305 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00152 |
Grade A, and why
diataxis 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 2mo 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Diataxis Documentation Framework
Complete reference for the Diataxis framework — a systematic approach to technical documentation authoring by Daniele Procida. All content sourced verbatim from diataxis.fr.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be triggered when:
- Writing documentation: Creating new docs pages of any type
- Reviewing documentation: Checking if content is in the right place and follows the right form
- Restructuring documentation: Reorganizing existing docs into proper Diataxis categories
- Deciding content type: Determining whether something should be a tutorial, how-to, reference, or explanation
- Resolving confusion: Distinguishing tutorials from how-to guides, or reference from explanation
The Diataxis Compass
Use this decision table when you need to classify content:
| If the content... | ...and serves the user's... | ...then it belongs in... |
|---|---|---|
| informs action | acquisition of skill | a tutorial |
| informs action | application of skill | a how-to guide |
| informs cognition | application of skill | reference |
| informs cognition | acquisition of skill | explanation |
Two questions to ask:
- Action or cognition? Is this about doing something or knowing something?
- Acquisition or application? Is the user learning or working?
Full compass guidance: references/compass.md
The Four Documentation Types
Tutorials (learning-oriented)
- An experience guided by a tutor, where the learner acquires skills by doing
- Teacher holds nearly all responsibility — learner just follows directions
- Concrete steps, no choices, no branching, ruthlessly minimal explanation
- Language: "We will...", "First, do X. Now, do Y.", "Notice that...", "You have built..."

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.

diataxis is a skill published in the GitHub repository WebMCP-org/npm-packages (106 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,524 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
