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

skul 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.

What it actually says

Overview

Skul is a TypeScript CLI for managing project-scoped AI configuration bundles across multiple tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode). It handles bundle discovery, materialization, registry tracking, stealth mode, and cross-tool translation.

Note: This CLI has not been shipped yet.

Commands

Run pnpm install first — this installs dependencies and sets up the prek pre-commit hooks.

pnpm test           # run tests once
pnpm run typecheck  # type-check without emitting
pnpm run build      # compile to dist/
pnpm run dev        # run CLI via tsx

CI checks

These three commands must pass before pushing — they're what .github/workflows/ci.yml runs:

pnpm run check:ci       # biome lint + format check (no autofix)
pnpm run typecheck      # tsc --noEmit
pnpm run test:coverage  # vitest run --coverage

To autofix lint and formatting issues locally before re-running check:ci, use pnpm run check (which runs biome check --write .).

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.
