CLAUDE.md

agentic-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from vidhunnan/agentic-skills. It costs 3,535 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for working on a public library of Claude and Cursor skills. Each skill is a folder containing Markdown instructions that describe how an agent should behave.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when authoring or refining skills in the vidhunnan/agentic-skills repository, especially their SKILL.md files and registration details.
Why use it?
It gives contributors the repository's structure and rules for adding or changing skills. It explains how skill names, folders, and triggering descriptions must match.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is vidhunnan/agentic-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentic-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 agentic-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 A, and why

agentic-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 9d 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.

CLAUDE.md

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

What this repo is

A personal library of Claude / Cursor-compatible agent skills. Each skill is a self-contained folder of Markdown (a SKILL.md plus optional supporting docs) — there is no build system, no test runner, and no application code. "Working on the code" here means authoring and refining skill definitions and their specs.

Public, and forkable. Treat everything here as published: it ships to the plugin marketplace and is documented at https://agentic-skills.vidhunnan.design.

Layout & conventions

  • One folder per skill under skills/, kebab-case, where the folder name must match the name field in that skill's SKILL.md frontmatter.
  • Each skill's entry point is skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Its frontmatter (name, description, allowed-tools, disable-model-invocation, plus optionally argument-hint) is the contract that drives how and when the skill triggers — the description doubles as the auto-trigger matcher, so it must enumerate the natural-language phrases and the /<name> slash form that should fire it.
  • Skill folder = plugin. Each skills/<name>/ doubles as an installable plugin by carrying its own .claude-plugin/plugin.json next to SKILL.md. This is the reusable pattern for every future skill: it keeps the "one folder per skill under skills/" convention and the standalone-copy install (cp -r skills/<name> ~/.claude/skills/) working, with no separate plugins/ tree.
  • PRDs for non-trivial skills live in docs/prds/<name>.md. When a SKILL.md is still a stub, the PRD is the source of truth for the output template, trigger rules, and per-surface behavior — read it before implementing. Keep the PRD in sync when the skill's scope changes.
  • The repo-root .claude-plugin/marketplace.json lists every skill as a plugin, each source pointing at its skills/<name> folder. Add an entry here whenever you add a skill.
  • Nothing referencing internal/employer-specific systems or unreleased work belongs in this repo (it's headed for public release).

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.
