skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from cel-expr/skills. It costs 855 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for tools that create, test, and debug CEL, a language for writing expressions evaluated against structured data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to author or debug CEL expressions, inspect environments, run evaluations, build the CLI or MCP server, and run tests.
Why use it?
They explain the project layout and the commands needed to build, run, and test its Go, CLI, MCP, and Bazel components.

Instructions file for Claude Code

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

This is cel-expr/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 →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to cel-expr/skills. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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 yesterday.

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.

Common Expression Language (CEL) Skills

This repository provides tools and skills to author, test, debug, and optimize Common Expression Language (CEL) expressions.

Project Structure & Architecture

  • cmd/cel-expr: Unified CLI and MCP server entry point (cel-expr).
  • cmd/mcp: Standalone entry point for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (cel-expr-mcp).
  • internal/mcp: MCP server implementation, transport setup, and tool dispatch.
  • internal/tools: Internal implementation for environment loading, compilation, evaluation, coverage, and prompt generation.
  • skills/: Agent skills directory containing guidelines and workflows:
    • cel-authoring: Authoring, configuring, and testing expressions and JSON environment definitions.
    • cel-debugging: Diagnosing and resolving compilation and evaluation errors.
    • cel-testing: Testing and validating expressions against test cases.
    • cel-optimize: Optimizing and simplifying expressions and formally proving semantic equivalence using the CEL-Java Verifier.
    • cel-conformance-testing: Authoring, evaluating, and publishing CEL conformance tests using the cel-spec textproto format.

Build and Test Commands

Go CLI

  • Build unified CLI: go build ./cmd/cel-expr
  • Build MCP server: go build ./cmd/mcp
  • Run tests: go test ./...
  • Run unified CLI: go run ./cmd/cel-expr <compile|eval|env|prompt|mcp>
  • Run MCP server: go run ./cmd/mcp

Bazel

  • Build all targets: bazel build //...
  • Run all tests: bazel test //...

Provided Tools

The cel-expr-mcp MCP server provides the following tools for AI agents:

  • cel_create_environment: Defines the variables, functions, and types for a CEL expression environment.
  • cel_generate_prompt: Generates an authoring prompt for a CEL expression based on the configuration and requirement.
  • cel_compile: Compiles a CEL expression to validate syntax, correctness, and type checking against an environment definition.
  • cel_evaluate: Evaluates a compiled expression against provided test cases.
  • cel_evaluate_conformance: Evaluates CEL conformance tests from a cel-spec textproto file or inline content.

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.
