agent-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Codagent-AI/agent-skills. It costs 116 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of agent-skills AGENTS.md, MIT.

Development instructions for a collection of coding-agent skills, focusing on how skill metadata should be written. Skill frontmatter is the header information that controls how a skill is identified and displayed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when creating or editing skill frontmatter in the agent-skills project.
Why use it?
They prevent an incorrect metadata field from replacing the skill's intended namespaced display name.

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 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

100% identical to agent-skills AGENTS.md — 0 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.

What it actually says

Agent Skills — Development Notes

Skill frontmatter

Do NOT add a name field to skill frontmatter. The name field overrides the skill's display prefix, causing it to show an incorrect or generic name instead of the proper namespaced prefix (e.g. codagent:handoff).

Releases

Every PR must include a release. Run the release skill (.claude/skills/release) before creating or pushing a PR so the branch carries the version bump and changelog entry. Do not open a PR without it.

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.
