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

claude-skills-generator 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 10d 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.

{{PROJECT_NAME}} - Claude Code Instructions

Project Overview

{{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}}

This file contains mandatory instructions for Claude Code when working on this project.

Code Quality Requirements

Security First

  • Never introduce OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
  • All file operations must respect sandboxing rules
  • Credentials must use OS keychain, never plaintext
  • All user inputs must be validated

Architecture

{{ARCHITECTURE_DESCRIPTION}}

Key Documentation

  • README: README.md - Project overview
  • Contributing: CONTRIBUTING.md - How to contribute
  • Architecture: CLAUDE_CODE_ARCHITECTURE.md - Claude Code integration guide

Slash Commands

Use these commands for common implementation tasks (customize as needed):

  • /implement-feature - Load feature implementation skills
  • /run-tests - Execute test suite

Commit Guidelines

  • Use conventional commit format
  • Ensure all tests pass before committing
  • Never commit sensitive credentials

Dependency Management Rules

CRITICAL: Never Guess Package Versions

STOP! Before updating ANY dependency, you MUST:

  1. Check actual latest version:

    npm view <package> version
    # or for Python
    pip index versions <package>
    
  2. Read migration guide for major version updates

  3. Update one package at a time - never bulk update

  4. Run verification after each update:

    {{INSTALL_COMMAND}} && {{DEV_COMMAND}} && {{BUILD_COMMAND}} && {{TEST_COMMAND}}
    

Version Specification Rules

// Use conservative ranges for production dependencies
"package": "~1.0.0"          // Patch only

// Caret (^) only for dev tools
"eslint": "^9.0.0"           // Minor + patch OK

Testing Requirements

When User Asks to "Run Tests"

When the user asks to run tests, execute ALL of these automatically:

{{TEST_COMMANDS}}

Report results for each step. If any step fails, attempt to fix the issue before proceeding.

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.
