bex: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/routine-abstraction-police/SKILL.md

routine-abstraction-police is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bex-co/bex. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,016 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository maintenance routine that checks module import boundaries, fixes layering violations, and adds dependency rules to stop those violations returning.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing and correcting module boundaries, keeping shared types independent, and ensuring a dashboard uses the backend API rather than reimplementing its logic.
Why use it?
It prevents modules from depending on the wrong parts of a codebase, which can create tangled architecture and duplicated logic.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: $ARGUMENTS substitution, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is bex-co/bex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on bex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything bex configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

routine-abstraction-police 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Routine: Abstraction Police

Enforce the layering: operator → types ← backend; types imports no sibling; cli imports no lego sibling; the dashboard talks to the backend only through its API client and never reimplements server-authoritative logic.

Routine ground rules

  • A user request to run this routine authorizes the full cycle: plan, fix, verify, then invoke $ship (Codex) or /ship (Claude) directly in the same run. Honor explicit user limits such as audit-only or no-ship.
  • Keep a concise execution plan in the conversation and update it as findings are confirmed. Continue into implementation without a planning approval pause. Do not create or file a .pm milestone/task as a prerequisite or substitute for fixing; use the board only if the user requests it.
  • After the verification phase, follow the shipping phase below without asking the user to invoke ship separately. Preserve the ship skill's branch, conflict-resolution, and safety rules.
  • Fix everything you find directly in the working tree. If a fix can't be finished safely in this run, revert only your partial work for that fix and list it under Deferred in the report — never leave the tree half-refactored.
  • Scope: parse $ARGUMENTS per Phase 1 — an optional path/module scope or skill-specific target. No argument = the skill's stated default (usually the whole repo via parallel agents per module: lego/types, lego/operator, lego/backend, lego/cli, dashboard).
  • False-positive discipline: if a finding is intentional, load-bearing, or ambiguous, skip it with a one-line reason — don't argue it into a change.
  • Every change must pass the verification gates for the modules it touched before being reported as done: operator make test + make lint (from lego/operator/), cd lego/backend && go test ./..., cd lego/cli && go test ./..., dashboard yarn test + typecheck.
  • Run npx [email protected] --write on any markdown touched.
  • Before shipping, summarize results in commentary using: Fixed (file:line + one-line rationale) / Deferred (item + why) / Skipped (finding + reason) / Gates (commands run + outcomes).

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.
