Instructions file for Claude Code

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

Fable 5.1 $0.00358 $0.00358
Opus 5.5 $0.00143 $0.00143

Security

Grade A, and why

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 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.

What it actually says

Repository Instructions

Purpose

This repo publishes eight Julius Brussee agent skills for now: caveman, interface-kit, grill-me, loop-factory, junior-to-senior, deslopify, context-canary, and last-20-percent. Treat it as an installable skill collection, not a product website.

Editing Rules

  • Keep skill files in skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.
  • Every skill needs YAML frontmatter with name and description.
  • Keep descriptions action-oriented. They should say when the skill triggers and what workflow it provides.
  • Use progressive disclosure. Put long references in references/ and link them from SKILL.md.
  • Do not add generated build artifacts.
  • Do not vendor third-party plugin caches.

Voice

Repo copy may be concise, but skill bodies should stay clear enough for agents to follow. Caveman branding belongs in Caveman skills and public-facing README sections, not every skill.

Quality Bar

Before committing:

node scripts/verify-skills.mjs
node scripts/list-skills.mjs

For interface-kit changes, preserve priorities:

  • accessibility
  • performance
  • typography
  • layout and spatial design
  • color semantics
  • motion and interaction
  • polish

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.
