act-sdk-js: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/harden/SKILL.md

harden is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from act-sdk/act-sdk-js. It costs 32 tokens per session (2,178 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of harden, MIT.

A manual command for making user interfaces handle unusual or incomplete real-world input. It covers errors, long text, multiple languages, special characters, empty states, and network or permission failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking interface behavior with long or missing content, translated text, right-to-left languages, large lists, unusual characters, and failed requests.
Why use it?
It helps find and fix problems that appear when data is not short, complete, English-only, or successfully loaded.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: positional $N argument; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is act-sdk/act-sdk-js's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on act-sdk-js 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 act-sdk-js 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 A, and why

harden 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to harden — 11 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 357 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strengthen interfaces against edge cases, errors, internationalization issues, and real-world usage scenarios that break idealized designs.

Assess Hardening Needs

Identify weaknesses and edge cases:

  1. Test with extreme inputs:

    • Very long text (names, descriptions, titles)
    • Very short text (empty, single character)
    • Special characters (emoji, RTL text, accents)
    • Large numbers (millions, billions)
    • Many items (1000+ list items, 50+ options)
    • No data (empty states)
  2. Test error scenarios:

    • Network failures (offline, slow, timeout)
    • API errors (400, 401, 403, 404, 500)
    • Validation errors
    • Permission errors
    • Rate limiting
    • Concurrent operations
  3. Test internationalization:

    • Long translations (German is often 30% longer than English)
    • RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew)
    • Character sets (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, emoji)
    • Date/time formats
    • Number formats (1,000 vs 1.000)
    • Currency symbols

CRITICAL: Designs that only work with perfect data aren't production-ready. Harden against reality.

Hardening Dimensions

Systematically improve resilience:

Text Overflow & Wrapping

Long text handling:

/* Single line with ellipsis */
.truncate {
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

/* Multi-line with clamp */
.line-clamp {
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 3;
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
  overflow: hidden;
}

/* Allow wrapping */
.wrap {
  word-wrap: break-word;
  overflow-wrap: break-word;
  hyphens: auto;
}

Flex/Grid overflow:

/* Prevent flex items from overflowing */
.flex-item {
  min-width: 0; /* Allow shrinking below content size */
  overflow: hidden;
}

/* Prevent grid items from overflowing */
.grid-item {
  min-width: 0;
  min-height: 0;
}

Responsive text sizing:

  • Use clamp() for fluid typography
  • Set minimum readable sizes (14px on mobile)
  • Test text scaling (zoom to 200%)
  • Ensure containers expand with text

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.
