scholar

scholar is a plugin for Claude Code from tony/skills. Its manifest loads nothing; the 11 skills it bundles cost 297 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for building a checkable vocabulary from source code, groups of repositories, or written material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study projects or documents, identify important terms and types, and create an evidence-backed ontology.
Why use it?
It turns scattered terminology into defined concepts supported by citations and measurements.

Grade A, and why

scholar 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 yesterday.

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 installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 11 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 297 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
