skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from BCGen/skills. It costs 288 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for maintaining a collection of coding-agent skills. They describe how to install dependencies, run checks, organize skills, and handle changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or editing skills, running lint checks, deciding whether a formal change proposal is needed, and recording lessons after a task.
Why use it?
They give contributors one set of rules for keeping the skill repository consistent and passing its automated checks.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is BCGen/skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything skills configures →

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

skills 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 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

Skills — repo notes

Install deps with pnpm install; lint everything with pnpm lint (skill lint + markdownlint over skills/**).

Layout: skills/<name>/SKILL.md are the installable units (English-only, enforced by lint) — a flat directory, since the installer flattens names anyway. Grouping is a README concern, not a filesystem one; group a skill by adding it under the right ## section in README.md. Acceptance tests and fixtures live in tests/.

Governance is per group, not repo-wide. The agent harness & skill authoring group is spec-driven: changes to it go through openspec/ (/opsx:propose, /opsx:apply, /opsx:archive). Every other group is lint-only — write the skill, pass pnpm lint, done. Do not open an OpenSpec proposal for a skill outside the harness group.

Skills that depend on personal context (a specific employer, client, toolchain, or project layout) do not belong here — they live in a separate private repo. The test: does the skill need to know who I am?

Run the retro skill when a task ends; lessons land in .ai/learnings/, ideas in .ai/backlog/.

Changes

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.
