pencil-skill: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

pencil-skill CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Nisus74/pencil-skill. It costs 109 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A short compatibility note for the Pencil project, telling coding agents that its complete instructions are in AGENTS.md. AGENTS.md is a shared instruction format used by several coding tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of work in the Pencil repository. It tells the agent where to find the project’s purpose, structure, conventions, and workflows.
Why use it?
It prevents the project’s rules from being duplicated in multiple files and directs the agent to the canonical source. This helps different coding assistants follow the same project guidance.

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

pencil-skill 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 6d 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 Code Project Context

This project's canonical context lives in AGENTS.md.

AGENTS.md is the cross-platform standard read by Codex, Cursor, Aider, and others. This file (CLAUDE.md) exists only because some Claude Code configurations look for it specifically — its content has been moved to AGENTS.md to keep the project platform-agnostic.

Read AGENTS.md for project purpose, structure, conventions, and workflows.

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.
