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

dev-swarm-npm-publish 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 16d 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.

AI Builder - NPM Publish

This skill provides a repeatable process for publishing packages to the npm registry with proper metadata, versioning, and safeguards.

When to Use This Skill

  • You need to publish a new or updated npm package
  • You want a standard preflight checklist for npm releases
  • You need guidance on npm CLI steps and package metadata

Your Roles in This Skill

  • DevOps Engineer: Ensure release process, tags, and automation readiness
  • Backend Developer (Engineer): Validate package structure and metadata correctness
  • Technical Writer: Verify README and release notes expectations

Role Communication

As an expert in your assigned roles, you must announce your actions before performing them using the following format:

As a {Role, and Role-XYZ if have more roles}, I will {action description}

This communication pattern ensures transparency and allows for human-in-the-loop oversight at key decision points.

Instructions

Follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Confirm prerequisites and access

  • Verify required tools are installed and versions are visible.
  • Ensure npm account access works from the CLI.
  • If missing prerequisites, stop and resolve before continuing.

Step 2: Validate package metadata and repository links

  • Confirm package.json includes required fields and correct naming.
  • Ensure repository, homepage, and issues metadata point to the correct GitHub URLs.
  • Ensure README exists and meets the minimum content expectation.

Step 3: Control published files

  • Use the files field or .npmignore to exclude non-release content.
  • Double-check the package tarball content before publishing.

Step 4: Apply semantic versioning

  • Choose patch/minor/major based on the change impact.
  • Use npm version to update metadata and create the git tag.
  • Ensure the branch matches the expected release branch.

Step 5: Publish to npm

  • Run a dry run with npm pack.
  • Publish with correct access flags (especially for scoped packages).
  • Verify the published package is visible on npm.
