skillfile CLAUDE.md

skillfile CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from eljulians/skillfile. It costs 1,815 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of project instructions for coding agents contributing to skillfile, a Rust command-line tool that manages AI skill and agent markdown files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining skillfile, especially its parsing, source fetching, deployment, command-line, lock-file, patch, and test code.
Why use it?
It keeps changes consistent with the project's documented design, dependency direction, tests, and safety rules.

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

skillfile 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.

skillfile Development Guide

This file is for maintainers and contributors using Claude Code or similar coding agents in this repository. Keep changes aligned with the public project contract in README.md and SPEC.md.

Project Shape

skillfile is a Rust workspace CLI for managing AI skill and agent markdown files. It reads a Skillfile, fetches upstream content, locks exact revisions, preserves local edits as patches, and deploys to supported AI tool directories.

Workspace dependency direction is strict:

core <- sources <- deploy <- cli
  • crates/core: models, parsing, lock files, conflicts, patches, output, errors.
  • crates/sources: HTTP clients, GitHub/GitLab/registry resolution, sync logic.
  • crates/deploy: platform adapters and install orchestration.
  • crates/cli: clap commands, TUI flows, update checks, binary entrypoint.
  • tests: workspace-level functional tests that spawn the CLI.
  • fuzz: parser fuzz target, excluded from the normal workspace.

Architecture Standards

  • Keep domain models and format rules in core; do not let core depend on network, deployment, terminal UI, or command concerns.
  • Keep source fetching and registry behavior in sources; do not bypass HttpClient when code needs to be testable.
  • Keep platform-specific filesystem layout behind PlatformAdapter; avoid hardcoded per-tool branching in command code.
  • Keep CLI code as orchestration and presentation. Reusable behavior belongs in the lower crate that owns the concept.
  • Preserve backward compatibility for Skillfile, Skillfile.lock, patch paths, and installed layout unless SPEC.md is updated in the same change.
  • Prefer typed domain errors in library crates via SkillfileError; reserve anyhow for top-level CLI reporting.
  • Do not add broad abstractions for hypothetical future platforms, sources, or entity types. Add extension points when a concrete second use case exists.
  • When changing a public contract, include the migration story, docs update, and tests that lock the new behavior.

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.
