skills CLAUDE.md

skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from tryopendata/skills. It costs 1,192 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for an open-source collection of reusable skills and plugins, including tools for open data, charts, and SVG design. A plugin is a package that groups related agent capabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a new skill, organize plugin files, define plugin metadata, register plugins in the marketplace, or work with the open-data, chart, and design examples.
Why use it?
It explains the required folders, metadata files, namespaces, and marketplace registration needed to add or install skills consistently.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 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 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenData Skills

Cross-platform agent skills repo following the Agent Skills specification.

Plugins

This repo contains multiple independently installable plugins:

Plugin Namespace Source Skills
opendata opendata plugins/opendata/ opendata-api
openchart openchart plugins/openchart/ openchart
opendesign opendesign plugins/opendesign/ svg-design

Each plugin has its own plugins/<name>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json for metadata. The root .claude-plugin/marketplace.json registers all plugins.

Adding a Skill

  1. Create plugins/<plugin>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter:
---
name: my-skill-name
description: >
  What this skill does and when to use it. Use imperative phrasing
  like "Use when..." Max 1024 chars.
---
  1. name field: lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens only. Max 64 chars. Must match the parent directory name. No leading/trailing/consecutive hyphens.

  2. description field: Describe what and when. Use imperative phrasing ("Use when..."). Focus on user intent, not implementation. Max 1024 chars.

  3. Optional frontmatter: license, compatibility, metadata (key-value map), allowed-tools (space-delimited)

  4. Body: Instructions for the agent. Keep under 500 lines / 5000 tokens. Split large content into references/ files and reference them conditionally ("Read references/api-errors.md if the API returns a non-200 status").

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.
