README

README is a command for Claude Code from jayminwest/kotadb. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,730 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of slash-command templates for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant. The templates group commands by the kind of result they return, such as text, a file path, an action report, or JSON.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a starting point when creating Claude Code commands that answer questions, locate files or URLs, perform operations, or return machine-readable data.
Why use it?
It gives commands a consistent structure and clear failure values, making their output easier for people and software to interpret.

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

README 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 4d 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.

Claude Code Slash Commands

This directory contains slash command templates for Claude Code integration. Commands are organized into logical subdirectories based on their functional domain.

Template Categories

All slash commands are classified into one of four template categories based on their output requirements:

Category Description Output Format Sentinel Value
Message-Only Returns a single piece of text Single line or short paragraph 0 for failure
Path Resolution Returns a file path or URL Absolute path or URL string 0 for not found
Action Performs operations, returns summary Structured report or status Exit code
Structured Data Returns machine-parseable data JSON object/array Empty object/array

Category Guidelines

Message-Only commands:

  • Output must be a direct answer with no preamble
  • No markdown formatting unless explicitly required
  • Use 0 to indicate failure or no result

Path Resolution commands:

  • Output must be a valid filesystem path or URL
  • Use 0 when path/URL cannot be determined
  • No explanatory text around the path

Action commands:

  • Perform side effects (file modification, git operations, etc.)
  • Return structured status report
  • Include validation results when applicable

Structured Data commands:

  • Output must be valid JSON
  • Follow documented schema
  • Return empty array [] or object {} for no results

Meta-Commentary Patterns (FORBIDDEN)

These patterns are forbidden in command output across all categories:

  • "Based on the changes..."
  • "The commit should..."
  • "Here is the..."
  • "This commit..."
  • "I can see that..."
  • "Looking at..."
  • "The changes..."
  • "Let me..."

Use direct statements instead of meta-commentary.

Directory Structure

The commands are organized into the following subdirectories:

  • git/ - Version control operations (commit, pull request)
  • issues/ - GitHub issue template commands (feature, bug, chore, refactor, classify, audit, prioritize)
  • docs/ - Documentation helpers (load AI docs)
  • tools/ - Utility commands (install, tools)
  • release/ - Release management commands

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.

README is a command published in the GitHub repository jayminwest/kotadb (102 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,730 tokens. 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.
