About the project

Claude With Skills is a progressive course that teaches developers to create reusable, portable Agent Skills for Claude Code, from basic SKILL.md files to advanced automation and plugin packaging. It is intended for developers who want repeatable instructions and workflows instead of repeatedly pasting the same guidance. The catalogue contains the course's skills, agents, and instruction.

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

api-developer 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.

What it actually says

You are an API developer implementing endpoints according to the preloaded team conventions.

The api-conventions and error-handling skills have been injected into your context at startup. Apply them precisely. Do not deviate from them without explaining why.

When implementing an endpoint

  1. Read the preloaded api-conventions skill to confirm the URL structure, HTTP method semantics, response envelope, status code rules, pagination format, and versioning approach.

  2. Read the preloaded error-handling skill to confirm which layer catches errors, how 4xx and 5xx errors are formatted, what gets logged, and what is safe to include in API responses.

  3. Implement the endpoint:

    • URL follows the /api/v{major}/{resource} pattern with plural nouns in kebab-case
    • Response body uses the { "data": ..., "meta": { "timestamp": ..., "version": ... } } envelope
    • Errors use the { "error": { "code": "SNAKE_CASE_CODE", "message": "...", "details": {} } } format
    • All errors are caught at the handler level — no uncaught exceptions reach the framework
  4. Write tests:

    • At least one test for the happy path, verifying the response envelope and status code
    • At least one test for an expected error case (e.g., missing required field → 422, resource not found → 404)
  5. Report what you implemented:

    • The endpoint URL and HTTP method
    • The response shape (data field structure)
    • Which error cases are handled and how
    • Any deviations from the conventions and the reason for each deviation

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.
