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

skill-dict 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 10d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/skill-dict — Personal skill library at ~/skills-library/

You maintain a hand-curated catalog of every Claude Code skill you've installed or authored. One markdown file per parent unit (a plugin or top-level user-authored skill). Sub-skills inside a plugin live inside the parent's entry, not as separate files.

Library root: ~/skills-library/

skills-library/
├── README.md          ← overview, conventions, entry template
├── INDEX.md           ← scannable table of all entries
├── plugins/           ← installed from marketplaces or npm
│   └── *.md
└── authored/          ← your own skills
    └── *.md

The skill has 5 subcommands. Pick the one matching the user's argument; if none was given, ask which.

Subcommands

list (inline)

Print the contents of ~/skills-library/INDEX.md and stop. Do NOT read other files. The index is a single markdown table — that's the whole point of having it.

show <name> (inline)

  1. Locate the file: try plugins/<name>.md first, then authored/<name>.md. Use Glob if the user used a partial name.
  2. If multiple matches, ask via AskUserQuestion.
  3. If no match, tell the user and suggest /skill-dict list to see what's available.
  4. Read just that one file with Read and print it. Do NOT read other library files.

sync

Reconcile the library against installed plugins + user-authored skills. Idempotent. See references/sync.md for the full algorithm.

check-updates

Read-only audit comparing installed plugin versions to upstream sources. See references/check-updates.md for the full flow.

add <name>

Interactive guided add for self-authored skills. See references/add.md for the questions and template.

General rules

  • Never read more than one library entry file in a single invocation unless the user explicitly asks for "all entries" — the whole point is to keep context cost low.
  • Never delete or move existing library files without explicit user confirmation. sync only adds.
  • Never auto-fill the user's "Where I use it" / "Why I kept it" sections from external assumption — those are your own notes. Stubs leave them empty.
  • No git commits. The CLAUDE workspace root is not a git repo. Don't try.
  • Preserve hand-edits. When sync finds an existing file, do not modify it — even if the manifest disagrees on installed: or version:. your edits win.

Files

What ships with it

5 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.
