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

mentor CLAUDE.md 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to mentor AGENTS.md — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Is

Mentor is a Claude skill (SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter) that generates docs-first mentorship compasses for technical topics. It runs on Claude.ai and Claude Code, and relies on current source lookup to verify resource URLs and freshness.

The intended behavior is direction-setting, not tutorial generation:

  • read this documentation first
  • check this page next
  • inspect this repo or artifact for a pattern
  • notice this concept before moving on
  • avoid this rabbit hole for now

Repository Structure

  • SKILL.md - The skill definition. This is the primary artifact. All behavior rules, output format, source ranking, and anti-patterns live here.
  • references/schema.json - JSON Schema contract for machine-readable compass output.
  • examples/ - Gold-standard example outputs that demonstrate correct behavior:
    • example-output-rust.md - broad topic with user background
    • example-output-cloud-run.md - broad topic, default assumptions
    • example-output-terraform-modules.md - narrow topic, compressed compass
    • example-output-react-server-components.md - clarification trigger + fast-moving topic
  • evals/evals.json - 10 test cases with machine-gradable assertions covering structure, source quality, mode variety, dedup, content, clarification, personalization, freshness, time constraints, weak-docs handling, schema compliance, and tutorial-drift guards.
  • scripts/validate.mjs - Dependency-free validation harness for schema, eval, example, and drift checks.
  • TESTING.md - Test strategy and validation notes.

How the Artifacts Relate

SKILL.md is the source of truth. The schema, examples, docs, and evals must stay consistent with it:

  • If you change the output format in SKILL.md, update references/schema.json.
  • If you change decision rules, update affected examples and eval assertions.
  • If you change resource modes, update schema enums and every example.
  • If you change public positioning, update README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • If you add or change behavior contracts, update scripts/validate.mjs when the rule can be checked statically.

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.
