named-exports

named-exports is a skill for Claude Code from abstractonion/cadence. It costs 28 tokens per session (163 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A TypeScript coding rule that prefers named exports and generally avoids default exports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding TypeScript modules, components, classes, or hooks, except in framework files that require a default export.
Why use it?
Named exports make symbols easier to find and rename across a codebase. They also reduce confusion caused by different files giving the same default export different local names.

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

named-exports 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.

What it actually says

TypeScript: named exports only

Use named exports. Don't use export default.

Why

  • Named exports make refactors safe: renaming the symbol updates all importers via the language server.
  • Default exports allow each importer to invent its own local name → harder to grep, harder to refactor.
  • One exported "thing" per file (one main component, one main class, one main hook) keeps modules legible.

Exceptions

  • Framework files that require a default export by convention (e.g. some bundler entry points, Next.js page files). Use the framework's expected shape; don't fight it.
Changes

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.
