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

engineering-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 14d 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.

What it actually says

Maintainer Instructions

This is a cross-platform engineering skill pack. Read AGENTS.md for routing and references/engineering-principles.md for shared discipline.

Maintain

  • Source skills use skills/<phase>/<name>/SKILL.md; follow skill-anatomy.md.
  • Keep workflow descriptions concise and references task-specific. Shared links are relative to the source file, not a host environment variable.
  • Confirm document paths and apply human-audit.md; suggested output paths do not authorize creation.
  • The Claude hook injects shared principles; standalone installation bundles dependencies for Codex and other hosts.
  • Update manifests and routing catalogs when names change; update the output matrix when artifact contracts change.

Verify

python scripts/gen-agents-yaml.py
bash scripts/validate-skills.sh
python -m unittest discover -s test -v

Model evaluation is separate and on demand; do not claim behavioral quality from static checks. Do not publish without user authorization.

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.
