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

config-guide 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 6d 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

@Claude — Configuration Guide

@Claude is configured through a small set of layered objects in the claude.ai admin settings: agents, agent scopes, identity profiles, and the presets / connections / repos / instructions attached to them. The layering decides what any given session can see and do.

This guide is currently written for the Slack surface.

This skill is an index. Read the relevant reference file below for the topic the user is asking about — each is short and self-contained.

Topic Reference file
Agents, agent scopes, the resolution chain, and per-field inheritance agents-and-scopes.md
Identity profiles, scopes, rules, credentials, repo permissions identity-profiles.md
Presets, connections (OAuth / MCP), how to install one connections-and-presets.md
GitHub repositories and custom instructions github-and-instructions.md
Best practices: profile layout, read-only vs read/write, rollout best-practices.md

All reference files live alongside this SKILL.md in the same directory.

After explaining configuration, you can suggest the user run the debug-plugins skill in a new Slack thread to confirm the change actually took effect inside the container.

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
