Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is chaunsin/agent-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-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 agent-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

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to AI coding assistants when working with code in this repository.

Repository Purpose

A collection of AI agent skills — self-contained Markdown knowledge bases that AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Cursor, etc.) load to gain expertise on specific topics. Skills are distributed via npx skills add chaunsin/agent-skills.

Skill Anatomy

Each skill lives under skills/<name>/:

  • SKILL.md — Entry point with YAML frontmatter (name, description, metadata) and a comprehensive quick reference
  • references/ — Modular deep-dive files linked from SKILL.md for detailed syntax, edge cases, and workflows
  • scripts/ — (optional) Helper scripts for validation, inventory, or installation
  • agents/ — (optional) Agent-specific configurations (e.g., OpenAI agent YAML)

The description frontmatter field is the activation trigger — it lists keywords and scenarios that cause the agent to load the skill.

testdata/ holds source material used during skill authoring. It is gitignored and must not contain hardcoded absolute paths.

Skill Authoring Conventions

  • All skill content is written in English regardless of user language
  • SKILL.md frontmatter fields: name, description, metadata (author, version)
  • Cross-references between SKILL.md and reference files use relative paths
  • Main SKILL.md provides a self-contained quick reference; references/*.md files split out detailed content
  • README.md and README_CN.md must stay in sync when skills are added/removed

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.
