agent-skill-description-optimizer CLAUDE.md

Project instructions for improving the description of a Claude Code or agent skill—the text that influences when the skill is invoked. It uses the claude -p command-line tool for evaluation and improvement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to optimize skill-description frontmatter and follow the project’s automated hooks and completion rules.
Why use it?
It defines an operating discipline and repository checks so description changes are evaluated consistently and incomplete work is not treated as finished.

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

agent-skill-description-optimizer 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.

What it actually says

CLAUDE.md

@AGENTS.md

Operating discipline (overrides brevity / token-thrift pressure)

Enforced by hooks in .claude/settings.json - Stop runs .claude/hooks/enforce-done.sh (blocks completion while the repo gate is red) and UserPromptSubmit runs .claude/hooks/inject-discipline.sh (re-asserts these rules each turn).

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.
