What is skillmaxxing CLAUDE.md?

Instructions for maintaining an agent-skills system and its adapter files, which connect imported skills to a project.

Use them when importing, adapting, or updating skills, especially when deciding which skill is active during a particular stage of work.

They clarify which instructions take priority and help keep adapter files small and synchronized with the original skill.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00064	$0.00064
Opus 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00026
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00013
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00006

Security

Grade A, and why

skillmaxxing 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 2mo 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.

Agent Skills System

Adapter Rules

The imported skill is the source of truth
Keep one active mode per phase
Keep adapter files thin and synchronized with the canonical skill
If this file and the imported skill disagree, the imported skill wins

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.
