claude-code

claude-code is a skill for Claude Code from amirkiarafiei/subagent-cli-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,375 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent add-on that hands large, multi-step repository tasks to Claude Code, a separate command-line coding assistant. The main session remains responsible for coordinating the work and reviewing the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad refactors, multi-file implementation, migrations, test-suite work, documentation sweeps, or a bounded task that should run in parallel.
Why use it?
It moves long-running edits and exploration into a separate session, leaving the main conversation focused on planning or review. It is not intended for trivial changes or tight back-and-forth work.

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

claude-code 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 7d 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.

Claude Code CLI (subagent/task delegation)

Use Claude Code CLI to run a separate long-horizon pass over the repo: multi-step implementation, broad refactors, batch file writes, or deep exploration—similar to handing a task to a subagent. You stay orchestrator: smaller prompts, less context burn, often lower spend than doing the same work entirely in-session.

When to use Claude Code CLI

  • Large or multi-step work: several files, phases, or checkpoints (feature slice, migration, test suite, docs sweep).
  • Heavy code generation or editing: Claude Code drives tool use while you summarize outcomes and merge.
  • Parallel mental lane: you continue planning or reviewing while Claude Code runs a bounded task.
  • User explicitly asks for Claude Code or “use Claude Code for this.”

When not to use

  • Small / single-step tasks answerable with one or two edits or a short explanation.
  • Tight feedback loops where the user wants rapid back-and-forth refinement in one thread.
  • Secrets or policy-sensitive flows—avoid piping credentials; redact before delegating.
  • Already-loaded context where duplicating the whole plan adds no value—handle locally.
  • Low ROI (Return on Investment): If the task is "needle-in-a-haystack" (requires high precision over a single line) or if the time to compose the Handoff Table exceeds the time to simply edit the file locally. Delegation should only be used when the "mental offloading" outweighs the "handoff overhead."

Delegation and context (critical)

Isolated subagent context saves tokens but splits the story: Claude Code does not see the main session's full thread. Poor handoffs cause misread subtasks, conflicting assumptions (stack, style, APIs), and wasted edits.

When composing the single Claude Code prompt, treat it as passing enough shared state, not just a title:

Include Why
Original goal Same north star as the user—not only the immediate micro-task.
Decisions already made Framework, patterns, naming, auth approach, “use X not Y”—anything that would otherwise be guessed wrong.
Scope Paths, modules, and explicit out of scope / do-not-touch areas.
Constraints Performance, a11y, compatibility, review gates, “no new deps,” etc.
Verification Explicit command (e.g. npm test, lint) the subagent must run and pass before returning.
Expected output e.g. “summarize then list files changed,” “report only—no edits,” or “apply edits with minimal diff.”

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.
