expert

expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from capitalone/context-specs. It costs 69 tokens per session (849 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project's long-term technical memory: guidance about its architecture, coding patterns, rules, past decisions, and ways to validate changes. It directs the assistant to read only the reference topics relevant to the current task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning features, checking specifications, implementing code, validating work, and understanding project-specific conventions or design decisions.
Why use it?
It helps the assistant make changes that fit the existing project and respect decisions about where the codebase is heading.

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

expert 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 5d 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Expert — this project's long-term memory

How to use this memory

Scan the routing table, open only the reference files whose USE WHEN matches the task at hand. Each file is one topic; files cross-link with [[wikilinks]] (resolve [[name]] to references/name.md). Do not page through everything.

Facts vs. decisions

Most shards describe the code as it IS — plan and build consistently with them. A decision- shard describes where the project is HEADING; the code may not reflect it yet.

When your task touches an area a decision covers, make a call: does this work advance the decision (build the new way) or stay consistent with current code (build the old way)? Read the decision's "Until fulfilled" note first — it answers this for its case. If it's silent: new isolated code follows the decision; changes to existing code stay consistent with what surrounds them, unless the task is the migration. Never assume a decision is already implemented — verify the current state in code before planning against it.

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.
