ai-workspace-standards: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/create-variant/SKILL.md

create-variant is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 5throck/ai-workspace-standards. It costs 40 tokens per session (3,679 once invoked), scanned B, original, AGPL-3.0.

A guided workflow for creating a new workspace variant, meaning an independent project setup for a specific domain or AI team.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold a new co-variant or create a domain-specific AI team workspace.
Why use it?
It helps start a variant with the expected structure and steps instead of building the workspace manually.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is 5throck/ai-workspace-standards's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ai-workspace-standards 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 ai-workspace-standards 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 B, and why

create-variant scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 16d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

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.
