What is lich-skills CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for working on lich-skills, a public open-source collection of Claude Code skills. They describe the project, its skill format, and rules for safe contributions.

Use them when adding or changing skills, writing documentation, checking commits, and preparing changes for this MIT-licensed public repository.

They help coding agents avoid committing secrets, using private paths, bypassing checks, or adding files that do not follow the repository’s conventions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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	$0.00419	$0.00419
Opus 5	$0.00210	$0.00210
Sonnet 5	$0.00084	$0.00084
Haiku 4.5	$0.00042	$0.00042

Measured 5d ago against content hash a9b407849f29, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-08-30, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

lich-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 5d 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

CLAUDE.md — lich-skills

Guidance for Claude Code when working inside this repository.

What this repo is

lich-skills is an open-source collection of Claude Code skills. Public, MIT-licensed. Three skills today:

spec-driven-dev — Spec → Plan → Build → Test → Review → Ship workflow
tavily-search — web search via the Tavily API
nano-banana — image generation/edit via Google's Nano Banana 2

Hard rules (repo is public)

No secrets. Never commit API keys, tokens, .env files, service-account JSON. A gitleaks pre-commit hook runs on every commit — do not bypass it with --no-verify.
Env vars only. Skills read credentials from environment variables (TAVILY_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, etc.). Never hardcode. Use YOUR_API_KEY_HERE in examples.
No private file paths. Example paths in skill docs should be generic (~/project/, ./output.png) — never reference the author's private workspace.
MIT license. All new files inherit MIT. Do not paste copyrighted code from other projects without attribution and license compatibility.

Skill format

Every skill lives at skills/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter:

---
name: skill-name
description: One-line trigger description starting with "Use when..."
---

Follow the process-not-prose convention: clear steps, exit criteria, rationalization tables.

Conventional commits

Before every commit

gitleaks detect --config .gitleaks.toml --source . — clean
Skill runs locally (for script-backed skills)
README skills table is up to date

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.
