bt: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/bt-review/SKILL.md

bt-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from braintrustdata/bt. It costs 81 tokens per session (1,401 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checklist and process for reviewing the bt command-line tool, a program operated through typed terminal commands, against common command-line practices and its own code patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a full audit, a focused check of one area, or a review of files changed on the current branch.
Why use it?
It finds confusing help text, flags, errors, output, command structure, and inconsistencies before release.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is braintrustdata/bt's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on bt 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 bt configures →

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

bt-review 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 2mo 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.

CLI Best Practices Review

Audit the bt CLI codebase against two reference documents:

  1. clig.dev guidelines — industry CLI best practices
  2. bt codebase patterns — established internal conventions for consistency

When to Use

  • When a user asks to review, audit, or check the CLI
  • When triggered via /bt-review
  • After implementing new commands or subcommands
  • Before releases to ensure CLI quality

Review Process

1. Scope the Review

Determine what to review:

  • Full audit: All commands and subcommands
  • Targeted review: Specific command or area (e.g., just prompts, just error handling)
  • Diff review: Only changed files on the current branch vs main

To scope a diff review, run git diff main --name-only -- '*.rs' and focus on changed files.

2. Load Reference Documents

Read both reference files:

  • references/clig-checklist.md — industry CLI guidelines organized by category
  • references/bt-patterns.md — established codebase patterns to check for consistency

3. Analyze Source Code

clig.dev Compliance

For each category in the checklist, examine relevant source files:

  • Args & flags: Read src/args.rs and src/main.rs — check clap derive attributes, flag naming, long/short forms
  • Help text: Check all #[command] and #[arg] attributes for descriptions, examples, and help templates
  • Error handling: Grep for anyhow::, .context(, eprintln!, and error types — verify human-readable messages
  • Output: Check stdout vs stderr usage, TTY detection, color handling, JSON output support
  • Subcommands: Review src/*/mod.rs files for consistency in naming and structure
  • Interactivity: Check dialoguer usage for TTY guards and --no-input support
  • Robustness: Look for timeout handling, progress indicators (indicatif), signal handling
  • Config: Check env var handling (dotenvy, clap env features), XDG compliance
Pattern Consistency

Compare new or changed code against references/bt-patterns.md. Check:

What ships with it

2 files 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.
