skillpack: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

skillpack CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from nordicnode/skillpack. It costs 803 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of skillpack copilot-instructions.md, MIT.

Instructions for a command-line tool called skillpack that creates and checks the files used to distribute coding-agent skills. A CLI is a program operated through typed commands in a terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a Claude Code skill pack, check whether a Rust CLI or library can be discovered by agents, and generate plugin distribution files.
Why use it?
It explains when the tool should be used, how to install it, and which commands and options are supported. This avoids using it for simple inspection or tasks outside its intended Rust tooling.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is nordicnode/skillpack's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on skillpack itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything skillpack configures →

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

skillpack 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to skillpack copilot-instructions.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

skillpack

Generate and verify the agent-distribution layer for any OSS project

When to use

Invoke this tool when the user's task matches any of these triggers:

  • generate a claude code skill pack
  • verify agent-discoverability of a CLI or library
  • scaffold claude plugin distribution files

When NOT to use

  • Do not use this tool if the user only wants to read or inspect skillpack without performing an action — prefer reading docs directly.
  • Do not use this tool for tasks outside the Rust tooling it was built for.

Installation

Ensure skillpack is installed and available on PATH before invoking the examples below.

Invocation

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.
