progressive-disclosure-guide

progressive-disclosure-guide is a skill for Claude Code from blackwell-systems/agentskills-cli. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,559 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

An interactive guide for splitting a long coding-agent skill into a short core section and separate reference material. Progressive disclosure means showing information only when it is needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Restructuring skills longer than 500 lines into a more manageable core and reference files.
Why use it?
It helps reduce the amount of context an agent must read when a skill becomes very long.

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

progressive-disclosure-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 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 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.

dos-dispatch

Plan and ship the next batch on one lane: run dos-next-up, acquire a lease with dos arbitrate, gate empty work, dispatch the packet, and archive the run. Use when a single lane should move end to end with collision safety.
