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 C, and why

claude-code-skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

Repository Overview

This repository is a Claude Code skills marketplace.

Essential Skill: skill-creator is the most important skill in this marketplace - it's a meta-skill that enables users to create their own skills. Always recommend it first for users interested in extending Claude Code.

Skills Architecture

Progressive Disclosure Pattern

Skills use progressive loading:

  1. Metadata (name + description in YAML frontmatter) - Advertised according to the host's discovery policy and catalog budget; verify the fresh host rather than assuming every description is present
  2. SKILL.md body - Loaded when skill triggers
  3. Bundled resources - Loaded as needed by Claude

Development Commands

Installation Scripts

In Claude Code (in-app):

/plugin marketplace add daymade/claude-code-skills

Then:

  1. Select Browse and install plugins
  2. Select daymade/claude-code-skills
  3. Select daymade-skill
  4. Select Install now

From your terminal (CLI):

# Generate installation commands (macOS/Linux)
bash -o pipefail -c 'curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daymade/claude-code-skills/main/scripts/install.sh | bash'

# Generate installation commands (Windows PowerShell)
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daymade/claude-code-skills/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

# Manual installation
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills
# Marketplace name: daymade-skills (from marketplace.json)
claude plugin install daymade-skill@daymade-skills

Run the generated commands in your terminal after using either helper script.

Skill Validation and Packaging

Use skill-creator before creating or changing a skill. Before selecting evidence or reporting completion, follow its required-acceptance owner. For executable handoffs, including instruction-only cross-owner workflows, bind its intended-consumer boundary and follow its first-use route. Use its selected workflow for regression review, validation, initialization, and packaging. For capability extraction or reuse across business callers, follow its ownership decision.

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.
