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

agentguard 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.

Qué es

Skill de Claude Code para seguridad de aplicaciones agénticas (código que usa LLMs, tool-calling, memoria, MCP o multi-agente). Dos modos: auditoría (review) y asesoría de diseño (design). El conocimiento de seguridad vive en skills/agentguard/references/ y se ancla a tres marcos: OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026 (ASI01–ASI10), OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025 (LLM01–LLM10) y CWE (MITRE) — clase de debilidad y mitigaciones por hallazgo, incl. los CWE de IA generativa CWE-1427 y CWE-1426.

Principios de diseño (no romper)

  1. Read-only sobre el proyecto objetivo. El skill nunca modifica el código que audita; solo escribe su archivo de informe.
  2. Scripts = Python 3 stdlib únicamente, cero dependencias. Deben correr con python3 a secas. Nada de pip install. Nunca ejecutan (exec/import) código del target: solo lo leen como texto.
  3. Bilingüe. Explicaciones en español; IDs, términos técnicos y nombres OWASP en inglés (ASI01, prompt injection, human-in-the-loop, ...).
  4. Cada hallazgo se mapea a un ID OWASP (ASI0x y/o LLM0x) y a un CWE cuando exista, y trae remediación accionable, no solo la descripción del riesgo. Si un fallo es puramente agéntico y CWE no tiene categoría nativa (goal hijack, memory poisoning, behavioral drift), se reporta solo con el ID ASI — no forzar un CWE que no aplica.
  5. Uso defensivo/autorizado. El skill sirve para asegurar sistemas propios o con autorización. No produce exploits ni técnicas ofensivas.

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.
