What is agent-skills CLAUDE.md?

Development instructions for a repository of 67 skills and 10 slash commands for AI coding agents. The skills cover areas such as safety, development, machine learning operations, retrieval systems, and security.

Creating or updating agent skills, choosing the right category, following the repository layout, and maintaining the files and references that describe the skill collection.

They give contributors a fixed structure and process for adding skills without losing track of categories or existing files. They help keep the collection and its documentation organized.

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	$0.01824	$0.01824
Opus 5.5	$0.00730	$0.00730
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00365	$0.00365
Haiku 4.5	$0.00182	$0.00182

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 2d 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.

Canonical Sources

skills/ is the canonical location for every skill that appears in both trees. Plugins must ship files inside their own directory (Claude Code rejects component paths that leave the plugin root, and warns that it does not read symlinked local sources), so plugins carry copies:

Plugin copy	Canonical source	Rule
`plugins/developer-toolkit/skills`	`skills/developer`	Byte-identical; edit `skills/` then copy
`plugins/agent-architect/skills`	`skills/mlops/agent-architect`	Byte-identical; edit `skills/` then copy
`plugins/security-guardian/skills`	`skills/security` (all 16)	Byte-identical; edit `skills/` then copy
`plugins/rag-architect/skills`	`skills/rag-architect`	Byte-identical; edit `skills/` then copy
`plugins/devops-sre`, `plugins/qa-testing`, `plugins/hr-people-ops`	none	Only exist in the plugin

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.
