developer-artifact-shaper

developer-artifact-shaper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 45ck/skill-harness. It costs 24 tokens per session (406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing the right format and review surface for a developer artifact, such as a plan, design note, investigation, or report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide between Markdown, TOON, HTML, or a combination for durable source material, visual reviews, diagrams, prototypes, dashboards, and handoffs.
Why use it?
It prevents important decisions from being stored only in an unsuitable or hard-to-review format.

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

developer-artifact-shaper 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 5d 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

Developer Artifact Shaper

Use this skill when a task needs a plan, design note, investigation, review report, or handoff artifact.

Core Rule

Pick the artifact format from the job it must do:

  • Markdown or TOON for canonical source, git diffs, CLI/TUI handoff, and long-lived docs.
  • HTML for generated human review surfaces, dense comparisons, visual diagrams, prototypes, dashboards, or desktop app previews.
  • Dual when a durable source and a rich review surface are both useful.
  • Model review artifacts use durable text sources and generated static review views; do not make rendered diagrams the only source.
  • Product, business, data, research, UX, and mockup artifacts use visual-source-first pairs when humans need visual inspection: agent-readable source plus generated visual review surface.
  • High-fidelity is the default for UI, customer-facing workflow, product, and mockup review. Low-fidelity sketches are scratch only unless explicitly captured as evidence.

Do not make generated HTML the only durable source for a decision.

Process

  1. Identify the artifact purpose: decision, plan, investigation, review, report, runbook, product brief, business case, data definition, research synthesis, UX flow, handoff, or prototype.
  2. Identify the canonical source location.
  3. Decide the review surface: markdown, html, or dual.
  4. Name the evidence that must be linked.
  5. For visual artifacts, choose the family: product, business, data, research, or UX.
  6. Decide whether the artifact should be listed in docs/artifacts/artifacts.manifest.json.
  7. State the update rule: edit source first, regenerate review surface second.

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.
