This is hamzaMissewi/agent-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-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 agent-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

agent-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 9d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agent-skills

This is the agent-skills project — a collection of production-grade engineering skills for AI coding agents.

Project Structure

skills/       → Core skills (SKILL.md per directory)
agents/       → Reusable agent personas (code-reviewer, test-engineer, security-auditor, web-performance-auditor)
hooks/        → Session lifecycle hooks
.claude/commands/ → Slash commands (/spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review, /code-simplify, /ship; plus /webperf specialist audit)
references/   → Supplementary checklists (testing, performance, security, accessibility, observability)
evals/        → Skill eval cases + framework (see evals/README.md)
docs/         → Setup guides for different tools

Skills by Phase

Define: interview-me, idea-refine, spec-driven-development Plan: planning-and-task-breakdown Build: incremental-implementation, test-driven-development, context-engineering, source-driven-development, doubt-driven-development, frontend-ui-engineering, api-and-interface-design Verify: browser-testing-with-devtools, debugging-and-error-recovery Review: code-review-and-quality, code-simplification, security-and-hardening, performance-optimization Ship: git-workflow-and-versioning, ci-cd-and-automation, deprecation-and-migration, documentation-and-adrs, observability-and-instrumentation, shipping-and-launch

Conventions

  • Every skill lives in skills/<name>/SKILL.md
  • YAML frontmatter with name and description fields
  • Description starts with what the skill does (third person), followed by trigger conditions ("Use when...")
  • Every skill has: Overview, When to Use, Process, Common Rationalizations, Red Flags, Verification
  • References are in references/, not inside skill directories
  • Supporting files only created when content exceeds 100 lines

Contributing

Before adding a new skill or significantly reworking an existing one, run the pre-flight checks in CONTRIBUTING.md: search the catalog, check open PRs, confirm the idea fits docs/skill-anatomy.md, and justify the gap. Prefer extending an existing skill over adding a near-duplicate. CONTRIBUTING.md is the single source of truth for this workflow; do not restate its checklist here or elsewhere, link to it.

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.
