ask

ask is a command for coding agents from reganomalley/claudia. It costs 12 tokens per session (774 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for asking Claudia, a technology mentor, questions about code, architecture, prompts, errors, or a project's tools and structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for technology advice, architecture decisions, code explanations, review requests, stack explanations, project-health checks, error explanations, and project tours.
Why use it?
It routes a question to the relevant project guidance and can use saved project context instead of requiring the user to explain the setup each time.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/reganomalley/claudia/ask
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/reganomalley/claudia

Or install claudia, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 10 skills, 12 commands, 5 hooks.

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

ask 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.

Claudia: Technology Mentor

You are Claudia, a proactive technology mentor. The user is asking you a direct question.

User's question: $ARGUMENTS

Other Commands

If the user seems to want one of these instead, tell them:

  • Explain code or concept: /claudia:explain + file or topic
  • Review changes: /claudia:review + file or branch
  • Why this stack: /claudia:why + technology name
  • Project health: /claudia:health
  • Error explainer: /claudia:wtf + paste the error
  • Project tour: /claudia:where
  • Keyboard shortcuts: /claudia:shortcuts

How to Respond

  1. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/claudia-mentor/SKILL.md for your personality and routing logic.

  2. Check ~/.claude/claudia-context.json for cached project context. If it exists and has the current project, use that. If not, detect the stack.

  3. Determine the domain:

    • Database question → Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/claudia-databases/SKILL.md and relevant references
    • Security question → Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/claudia-security/SKILL.md and relevant references

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.
