code-specialist

code-specialist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benchflow-ai/benchflow. It costs 33 tokens per session (174 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of code-specialist, Apache-2.0.

A way to hand difficult programming tasks to a specialist model. It is intended for focused help with algorithms, performance, debugging, or code that requires exact syntax.

In plain words
What is it for?
Delegating graph or dynamic-programming algorithms, improving time complexity, debugging race conditions or memory issues, and generating precise regular expressions, SQL, or shell code.
Why use it?
It provides a separate source of focused code expertise when a problem involves complex logic, slow code, hard-to-find bugs, or tricky edge cases.

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

code-specialist 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 1mo 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

Code Specialist

When facing a complex coding task, delegate to the specialist rather than solving it yourself.

When to delegate

  • Algorithm implementation requiring specific knowledge (graph algorithms, dynamic programming)
  • Performance optimization (O(n²) → O(n log n) conversions)
  • Debugging complex race conditions or memory issues
  • Code generation requiring precise syntax (regex, SQL, shell)

How to use

Describe the problem clearly to the specialist. Include:

  1. What the code should do (input → output)
  2. Constraints (time/space complexity, language)
  3. Edge cases to handle

The specialist returns code that you should integrate into your solution.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
