x-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

x-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from sergebulaev/x-skills. It costs 2,445 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of instagram-skills CLAUDE.md, MIT.

Project instructions for agents working on the x-skills repository. They define versioning, manifest consistency, documentation alignment, marketplace synchronization, and commit conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when maintaining x-skills, especially when changing plugin manifests, shared project instructions, skill bundles, marketplace files, or release versions.
Why use it?
They give agents the repository's rules before they edit files. This helps prevent mismatched package metadata, unsynchronized generated files, and incorrect version changes.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is sergebulaev/x-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on x-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 x-skills configures →

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

x-skills 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 12d 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

80% identical to instagram-skills CLAUDE.md — 77 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.

Project conventions - x-skills

This file is for any Claude Code agent working on this repository. Read it before making changes. Conventions here are mandatory unless the user asks otherwise.

Versioning

  • Single source of truth: .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .codex-plugin/plugin.json, and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json. Plugin manifests must always match on package name and version; marketplace entries must point to the same package; author, license, homepage, and the public skill-bundle description must stay aligned.
  • Keep CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md aligned when changing shared project rules. Claude-specific workflow details belong here; Codex-specific details belong in AGENTS.md.
  • Codex marketplace install uses .codex-marketplace/x-skills/. Do not edit that generated package by hand. Update the root files first, then run python3 scripts/sync_codex_marketplace.py.
  • Default: bump the PATCH segment (3rd level, 0.0.X). This is the automatic behavior for every shippable commit, regardless of how large the diff feels. Skill renames, lib API breaks, new features: still PATCH by default.
  • Only bump MINOR or MAJOR when the user explicitly asks for a higher rank ("this is minor", "make it 2.0", "bump major"). Do not promote on your own initiative even if semver textbook says so.
  • After bumping, two steps are required:
    1. Tag the commit: git tag -a v<X.Y.Z> -m "..." + git push origin v<X.Y.Z>
    2. Publish a GitHub Release for the tag: gh release create v<X.Y.Z> --title "v<X.Y.Z>" --notes "<changelog>" --latest A tag alone does NOT update the README release badge. The shields.io badge reads from the Releases API, not from raw tags. Skipping step 2 leaves it stale.

Commits

  • Primary author must be Sergey: every git commit needs --author="Sergey Bulaev <[email protected]>". The harness defaults to the Claude identity if you forget; verify with git log -1 --format='%an <%ae>' before pushing.
  • Co-author trailer (Co-Authored-By: Claude ...) is fine and welcomed.
  • Verify locally before push: build never breaks, no broken refs in SKILL.md, library smoke import passes.

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.
