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

agent-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

CLAUDE.md — agent-skills

Cross-platform AI agent skills repo. 31 skills across 15 categories.

Structure

  • Skills in skills/{category}/{skill-name}/SKILL.md
  • References in skills/{category}/{skill-name}/references/
  • Audit script: bash scripts/audit-all.sh

Conventions

  • SKILL.md must have YAML frontmatter (name, description, version, last-updated, platforms, dependencies, update_sources, license)
  • Max 3K tokens per skill (SKILL.md + references/)
  • Natural language instructions only (no platform-specific tools like Read, Write, Bash)
  • Disclaimer required on regulatory/legal/financial skills
  • French for FR-only skills, English for global skills

Commands

# Audit all skills
bash scripts/audit-all.sh

# Install a skill locally
npx skills add . --skill eu-ai-act-compliance -a claude-code

Do NOT

  • Add platform-specific tool references (Read, Write, Edit, Bash) in SKILL.md core
  • Include copyrighted content (AFNOR, proprietary norms)
  • Exceed 3K tokens per skill
  • Skip disclaimers on regulatory skills
  • Reference skills that don't exist in the repo
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.
