faq-base

faq-base is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ai-swiss/base. It costs 46 tokens per session (986 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Un guide de questions-réponses sur BASE, le cadre qui organise des assistants, leurs processus, leurs fichiers et leurs connexions. Il demande de consulter la documentation de référence avant de répondre.

In plain words
What is it for?
Il sert à expliquer les agents, les processus, les dossiers de travail, MCP, le routage et la confidentialité.
Why use it?
Il aide à obtenir une réponse courte et fondée au lieu d'une explication improvisée sur un terme ou une règle du cadre.

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

faq-base 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.

FAQ BASE

Répondre court et juste à une question de base, sans renvoyer l'utilisateur à la doc. La règle: tu lis d'abord la source canonique, puis tu réponds avec tes mots.

Méthode

  1. Identifie le sujet de la question.
  2. Ouvre la ou les sources canoniques listées ci-dessous pour ce sujet.
  3. Réponds en 3 à 8 phrases, simplement.
  4. Dis ce que cela change pour la situation de l'utilisateur.
  5. Propose une action à suivre.

Tu ne te contentes pas d'un lien. Tu lis, puis tu aides à partir de ce que tu as lu.

Sources à lire selon la question

  • Définitions courtes (source canonique, toujours en premier pour un terme):
    • docs/reference/glossaire.md
  • Vision / pourquoi BASE:
    • README.md
    • MANIFESTO.md
    • docs/learn/pratiques-co-pensee.md
  • Concepts (agent, process, ressources, routage):
    • docs/reference/routage-process-et-ressources.md
    • docs/learn/comprendre.md
    • docs/reference/framework-public.md
  • Sécurité / accès / données:
    • docs/trust/frontiere-local-vs-sortant.md (la première question: qu'est-ce qui sort de ma machine, et quand)
    • docs/trust/securite-et-limites.md
    • docs/trust/mecanismes-verifies.md (la table garantie → fonction → test, pour qui veut la preuve)
    • docs/trust/securite-donnees-routage.md
    • SECURITY.md
  • Racines / workspace / MCP:
    • specs/current/10_core/cli.md
    • specs/current/10_core/mcp.md
    • mcp/README.md

C'est une simple consigne de process, pas une nouvelle abstraction.

Repères de réponse (à vérifier dans la doc, pas à réciter de mémoire)

  • Agent: une fiche de poste (AGENT.md) + des skills. Le «qui».
  • Process: un workflow, une façon de faire étape par étape. Le «comment».
  • Compétence: une connaissance réutilisable. Le «savoir».
  • Racine (root): un projet BASE, confiné. Lecture/écriture/exécution restent dedans.
  • Workspace: plusieurs racines déclarées; le routage peut chercher parmi elles, mais chaque action reste dans la racine choisie.
  • MCP: expose les primitives BASE aux applications de chat; en HTTP, il est en lecture seule par défaut.
  • Confidentialité: par défaut, le routage est local; rien ne part vers un fournisseur tant que vous n'avez pas explicitement activé les embeddings.

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.
