Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is eagerworks/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 →

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 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What this repo is

eagerworks/skills is a collection of portable markdown agent skills — not a runnable library. There is no build, lint, or compile step. The "product" is documentation that teaches coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Amp, any skills.sh-compatible tool) how to do a specific job well. Contributions are almost always edits to markdown files.

Architecture

Two parallel trees, intentionally kept separate (see docs/decision-records/2026-06-30--evals-separate-from-skills.md):

skills/<name>/      # SHIPPED to users — the skills.sh CLI copies this whole dir
  SKILL.md          # agent entrypoint: frontmatter `description` (match trigger) + lean hub
  references/*.md    # in-depth docs, loaded by the agent ON DEMAND
  assets/           # copyable starter files / templates (e.g. deploy.yml)
  README.md         # human-facing overview
  CHANGELOG.md      # per-version history: what changed + what config/files a consumer must touch
evals/<name>/       # NOT shipped — repo-level test harness
  evals.json        # question/answer + expectations pairs that verify skill quality

The boundary is the rule: anything users should receive goes inside skills/<name>/; anything purely for developing or validating the skill stays out of it. evals/<name>/ mirrors the skill name. The skills.sh CLI ships the entire directory containing a SKILL.md, which is why evals must live outside it.

Progressive disclosure (the core design principle)

SKILL.md is loaded up front, so it must stay lean — it's a hub: when-to-use frontmatter, a version-detection step, a table pointing to references/*.md, and critical gotchas. Depth belongs in references/*.md, which the agent opens only when relevant. When editing, push detail down into references/ rather than growing SKILL.md.

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.
