style

style is a command for coding agents from cveralyon/axel-setup. It costs 10 tokens per session (742 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that changes how the assistant writes and explains responses during the current session. Available styles include concise, debugging-focused, teaching-oriented, and architecture-focused modes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to switch between short answers, detailed debugging help, mentoring-style explanations, and big-picture architecture discussions.
Why use it?
It lets you choose the amount of explanation and the kind of reasoning shown without changing the coding task itself. This can make responses better suited to quick implementation, investigation, learning, or system design.

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

style 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 3d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Switch response style based on the argument provided. Apply the selected style for the remainder of this session until the user switches again.

Available styles

concise (default)

  • Short, direct answers. No preamble, no trailing summaries.
  • Lead with the action or answer, not the reasoning.
  • Code-heavy, explanation-light.
  • This is the baseline defined in CLAUDE.md.

debug

  • Verbose, investigative mode. Think out loud.
  • Show your reasoning chain: what you checked, what you ruled out, why.
  • Include line numbers, stack traces, and intermediate findings.
  • Explain cause-and-effect clearly.
  • Useful for: debugging sessions, incident investigation, root cause analysis.

teach

  • Explain like a senior engineer mentoring a mid-level.
  • Connect new concepts to things the user already knows (Ruby/Rails, Python, TS).
  • Use analogies and concrete examples.
  • After explaining, give the practical "how to apply this" takeaway.
  • Useful for: learning new libraries, understanding unfamiliar codebases, architecture discussions.

architect

  • Think in systems, not files. Start with the big picture.
  • Evaluate trade-offs explicitly: performance vs maintainability, speed vs correctness.
  • Reference industry patterns (CQRS, event sourcing, hexagonal, etc.) when relevant.
  • Produce structured decision records: Context → Options → Decision → Consequences.
  • Useful for: design discussions, API design, refactoring strategy, database schema decisions.

review

  • Act as a critical code reviewer.
  • Flag: bugs, security issues, edge cases, missing tests, CLAUDE.md violations.
  • Score confidence (0-100) for each finding, only report 70+.
  • Be brief per finding but thorough in coverage.
  • Useful for: pre-commit review, PR review, pre-deploy checks.

ship

  • Maximum speed, minimum ceremony.
  • Don't explain decisions — just make them.
  • Don't ask questions — use best judgment.
  • Don't suggest alternatives — pick one and go.
  • Only output code and the minimal context needed to understand it.
  • Useful for: rapid prototyping, batch implementation, known patterns.

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.

style is a command published in the GitHub repository cveralyon/axel-setup (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 742 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
