skills CLAUDE.md

skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from sinch/skills. It costs 912 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository-specific guide for official Sinch API skills, which help AI coding agents work with Sinch communication products. It defines the folder layout and the required sections for each product guide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or updating a Sinch product skill, including its main guide, helper scripts, reference material, assets, and product-specific configuration.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to document setup, common usage, limitations, and links for each Sinch product. This prevents new skills from missing required files or useful 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

skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

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

- Use curl and Node.js SDK (`@sinch/sdk-core`) for code examples. Exception: Mailgun skills use `mailgun.js`.

CLAUDE.md

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

Repository Purpose

Official Sinch API skills for AI coding agents. Each skill in skills/ provides getting-started guides, best practices, and gotchas for a Sinch product. Skills are installed by developers via npx skills add sinch/skills and are listed on https://skills.sh/.

Architecture

skills/
  <product>/
    SKILL.md            # Main skill file (required)
    scripts/            # Optional helper scripts
    references/         # Optional detailed reference material
    assets/             # Optional images or other assets

One folder per Sinch product. The skill file is always SKILL.md.

Adding a New Skill

  1. Create skills/<product-name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (--- delimiters, name and description fields)
  2. Fill in the YAML frontmatter (name in sinch-<product> format, description with what it does and when to use it)
  3. Complete all body sections: Overview, Getting Started, Key Concepts, Common Patterns, Gotchas & Best Practices, Links
  4. Keep the file under 500 lines. Move detailed content to references/ if needed.

SKILL.md Format Rules

Frontmatter

  • name: Max 64 characters. Format: sinch-<product-slug> (e.g., sinch-sms, sinch-voice-api)
  • description: Max 1024 characters. Describes when to trigger the skill (e.g., "When the user wants to send SMS messages using the Sinch SMS API")

Body Sections

  1. Overview -- What the product does and when to use it (2-3 sentences)
  2. Getting Started -- Authentication, SDK install, first API call
  3. Key Concepts -- Product-specific domain model and terminology
  4. Common Patterns -- Most frequent use cases with code snippets
  5. Gotchas and Best Practices -- Non-obvious pitfalls, rate limits, regional quirks
  6. Links -- Documentation, API reference, dashboard

Style Guidelines

  • Max 500 lines per SKILL.md; move detailed content to references/
  • Write for AI agents: concise, actionable, include code examples
  • Use curl and Node.js SDK (@sinch/sdk-core) for code examples. Exception: Mailgun skills use mailgun.js.
  • Do not include lengthy prose; prefer bullet points and code blocks

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.
