Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00652 | $0.00652 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00326 | $0.00326 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
skylos 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 5d 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repository.
What this repo is
Skylos — a local-first static analysis CLI for Python, TS/JS, Java, Go,
PHP, Rust, and Dart. It detects dead code, security flaws, secrets, dependency
CVEs, quality regressions, and AI-generated-code mistakes. The CLI entry point
is skylos.cli:main, exposed as the skylos command.
Install
Skylos is not installed by default — only the source is present. Install it editable from the repo root:
pip install -e . # core CLI + dependencies
pip install -e ".[llm]" # also enables `skylos agent` / `skylos defend`
Then verify with skylos --version and skylos doctor.
Notes:
- Do not run
python -m skylos— the package has no__main__. Use theskyloscommand. - A
module 'skylos.cli' has no attribute 'inquirer'error means the install is incomplete; rerunpip install -e ..
Use
skylos . # dead-code scan of the current directory
skylos . -a # all checks: security, secrets, quality, deps
skylos . -a --format json # machine-readable output (best for automation)
skylos . --diff origin/main # only findings on changed lines (PR review)
skylos . --gate # quality gate; non-zero exit blocks on failure
Run skylos commands for the full command list and skylos <cmd> --help for
details on any subcommand.
Skill For Using Skylos
A detailed agent skill for installing, running, and interpreting Skylos lives at:
.claude/skills/skylos/SKILL.md
It is auto-discovered by Claude Code. Consult it for output formats, JSON result keys, filtering flags, gating/exit codes, suppression syntax, security guardrails, CI behavior, dead-code false-positive triage, and repo workflow.
Keep Claude skill files under .claude/skills/. Do not put them under
skylos/agents or skylos/llm; those are Skylos runtime modules.
For security investigations and hardening, use:
.claude/skills/skylos-security/SKILL.md
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.

skylos CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository duriantaco/skylos (547 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 652 tokens to every session, about $0.0033 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
