qlty is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bastani-inc/atomic. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,042 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A code-quality toolkit built around the qlty command-line tool, which runs checks and reports code measurements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to lint, format, verify, or measure code before a commit or handoff, including complexity, cohesion, and lines of code.
Why use it?
It helps find formatting problems, duplication, deep nesting, and other signs that code may be difficult to maintain.

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 C, and why

qlty scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

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.
