geographic-foundations

geographic-foundations is a skill for Claude Code from Abhinavbwj/Skills-Architects. It costs 204 tokens per session (9,232 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing layer for architectural work that detects the country or legal jurisdiction mentioned in a question. It then selects the matching country-specific guidance before applying general building, fire-safety, structural, or accessibility advice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture questions involving countries such as India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the USA, the UK, Germany, Singapore, Japan, China, or Australia.
Why use it?
Building rules differ between countries, so generic advice can be unsuitable or unsafe. This helps direct each question to the relevant local rules before analysis begins.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

geographic-foundations 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 12d 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.

Geographic Foundations

Auto-activated layer that detects geographic context and routes architectural queries to the correct country-specific regulatory dossier. Loads before any code, life-safety, structural, or planning analysis.


1. Geographic Context Detection

When a user query includes any of the following signals, route to the named country skill before applying generic content from building-codes, fire-life-safety, or accessibility-design.

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.
