cc-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

cc-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from samber/cc-skills. It costs 15,385 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a Claude Code plugin containing reusable skills for engineering, marketing, and productivity tasks. They describe the skill folders, required instruction files, plugin metadata, and related extension manifests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or updating a skill, changing plugin metadata, or maintaining the Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini extension packages.
Why use it?
They explain the structure a new or changed skill must follow. This helps agents keep the plugin compatible with the documented agent-skill format and its supported tools.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is samber/cc-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on cc-skills 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 cc-skills 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 C, and why

cc-skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Eval results go in `EVALUATIONS.md` at the repo root. Append new skill sections — never overwrite previous runs. The file is wrapped in `<!-- prettier-ignore-start/end -->` so Prettier doesn't break the HTML spans.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 813 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a Claude Code plugin containing AI agent skills covering engineering, marketing, and productivity domains. The repository provides reusable skill definitions that Claude Code can invoke across projects.

Where content belongs: CLAUDE.md holds facts about this repository — structure, conventions, policy. Skills hold procedures and domain expertise for tasks Claude performs elsewhere. Never copy a CLAUDE.md fact into a skill body: the two drift, and a stale copy later contradicts the source with no signal which one is right.

Agent Skills Specification

All skills MUST conform to the Agent Skills specification. Key requirements are summarized below; the spec is the source of truth when in doubt.

Frontmatter

New skills go in skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. Each SKILL.md has YAML frontmatter. Fields per the Agent Skills specthis project requires all fields marked "Project-required":

Field Required Constraints
name Spec-required 1-64 chars. Lowercase a-z, digits, hyphens. No leading/trailing/consecutive hyphens. Must match parent directory name.
description Spec-required 1-1000 chars (project hard cap; the AgentSkill spec allows 1024, but this project uses 1000 as a safety margin). Describes what the skill does and when to use it — this is the primary triggering mechanism. Be specific and slightly "pushy" to avoid under-triggering.
license Project-required License name or reference to a bundled license file. Use MIT for this project.
compatibility Project-required 1-500 chars. Describe actual requirements as capabilities, never tool namesRequires internet access, not Requires WebSearch; the capability holds on every harness, the tool name only on Claude Code. Base: Designed for Claude Code, Codex or similar harness. Extend when needed: add Requires git, Requires internet access, Requires Python 3.14+ and uv, etc. Skills with no special requirements use the base string only.
metadata Project-required Must include author (string), version (semver a.b.c string, e.g. "1.0.0"), and openclaw (ClawHub discoverability fields — see below). Caution: some harnesses (e.g. OpenCode) parse metadata as a flat string→string map and may not preserve the nested openclaw object — don't assume every field survives outside Claude Code.
user-invocable Project-required Boolean. true for skills invocable as slash commands (e.g. /skill-name), false (default) for contextual skills that auto-trigger.
allowed-tools Project-required Space-delimited list of pre-approved tools. See "Allowed tools" below.
paths Optional Glob(s) scoping the skill to specific files/directories (e.g. **/*.go). Recognized by Cursor only — a no-op elsewhere. Add it for skills tied to one file type (framework or language skills) to sharpen triggering there; skip it for skills with no natural file-type scope.
dependencies Optional, experimental List of owner/repo@skill identifiers this skill should always load alongside. Formalizes an existing → See cross-reference as a machine-enforced co-load instead of prose the model might skip. Currently recognized by Antigravity only (third-party-documented, not yet confirmed in Google's official docs) — verify before relying on it, and keep the prose → See reference regardless since it's what every other harness actually reads.

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.

cc-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository samber/cc-skills (203 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15,385 tokens to every session, about $0.0769 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (hidden instructions, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
