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

skill-creator 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 1mo 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.

  • Skills: .cursor/rules/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

Naming Conventions

  • Use lowercase with hyphens: my-skill-name
  • Be descriptive: webapp-testing not test
  • Match the folder name to the skill name

Required Sections

  1. YAML Frontmatter - name and description
  2. Title - Clear skill name
  3. When to Use - Trigger conditions
  4. Instructions - What Claude should do
  5. Examples - Concrete usage

Optional Sections

  • Common Issues / Troubleshooting
  • Related Skills / Modes

After Creating

  1. Test the skill with explicit invocation: "use [skill-name] skill"
  2. Document in team wiki if shared
  3. Consider adding to Mode Detection if workflow-based

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.
