skills-eval

skills-eval is a skill for Claude Code from athola/claude-night-market. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,503 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for reviewing and improving Claude skills against quality, structure, compliance, and efficiency standards. It includes audits for complexity, token use, runtime performance, and adherence to requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit one skill or many skills, rank possible improvements, check compliance, and measure context or token usage.
Why use it?
Skills can become difficult to follow, unnecessarily large, inefficient, or inconsistent with their rules. Evaluation helps locate these issues and verify that improvements 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

skills-eval 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 9d 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.

Overview

This framework audits Claude skills against quality standards to improve performance and reduce token consumption. Automated tools analyze skill structure, measure context usage, and identify specific technical improvements. Run verification commands after each audit to confirm fixes work correctly.

The skills-auditor provides structural analysis, while the improvement-suggester ranks fixes by impact. Compliance is verified through the compliance-checker. Runtime efficiency is monitored by tool-performance-analyzer and token-usage-tracker.

Quick Start

Basic Audit

Run a full audit of all skills or target a specific file to identify structural issues.

# Audit all skills
make audit-all

# Audit specific skill
make audit-skill TARGET=path/to/skill/SKILL.md

Analysis and Optimization

Use skill_analyzer.py for complexity checks and token_estimator.py to verify the context budget.

make analyze-skill TARGET=path/to/skill/SKILL.md
make estimate-tokens TARGET=path/to/skill/SKILL.md

Improvements

Generate a prioritized plan and verify standards compliance using improvement_suggester.py and compliance_checker.py.

make improve-skill TARGET=path/to/skill/SKILL.md
make check-compliance TARGET=path/to/skill/SKILL.md

Evaluation Workflow

Start with make audit-all to inventory skills and identify high-priority targets. For each skill requiring attention, run analysis with analyze-skill to map complexity. Generate an improvement plan, apply fixes, and run check-compliance to verify the skill meets project standards. Finalize by checking the token budget for efficiency.

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.
