Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is raphaelstolt/skill-validator's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on skill-validator 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 skill-validator 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

skill-validator 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 2mo 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 Info

  • Language: PHP >= 8.2
  • Namespace: Stolt\Ai\Skill\
  • Package: stolt/skill-validator

Common Commands

composer test                   # Run PHPUnit tests
composer test-agentic           # Run PHPUnit tests with agentic output
composer test-with-coverage     # Run tests with coverage report
composer cs-fix                 # Auto-fix coding style (PSR-2)
composer cs-lint                # Check coding style compliance
composer static-analyse         # Run PHPStan (level 5)
composer spell-check            # Check for spelling errors
composer validate-gitattributes # Validate .gitattributes
composer pre-commit-check       # Run all checks before committing

Code Conventions

  • PSR-2 coding standard enforced via php-cs-fixer
  • Strict types required: declare(strict_types=1); in every file
  • Final classes by default
  • Readonly properties and constructor property promotion preferred
  • Static factory methods with private constructors for immutable objects
  • PHPStan level 5 — all types must be explicit
  • Follow Conventional Commits for commit messages

Architecture

  • src/Validator.php — main validator; validate(), validateFile(), validateContent()
  • src/ValidationResult.php — immutable result with isValid(), errors(), metadata(), body()
  • src/Metadata.php — immutable metadata container

Testing

  • Framework: PHPUnit 11 with #[Test] attributes
  • DG\BypassFinals is enabled in bootstrap to allow mocking final classes
  • Base TestCase provides setUpTemporaryDirectory() and removeDirectory() helpers
  • Tests live in tests/ under namespace Stolt\Ai\Skill\Tests
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.
