vertically-sliced-feature-modules

vertically-sliced-feature-modules is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Casper-Studios/casper-marketplace. It costs 35 tokens per session (642 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A set of conventions for organizing software around complete capabilities, such as a user-facing feature. Related interface, workflow, and implementation code stays together instead of being separated only by technical layer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing folders, module boundaries, routes, registries, nested capabilities, shared code, or feature imports.
Why use it?
It makes ownership and dependency direction clearer, reducing scattered code and accidental coupling between features.

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

vertically-sliced-feature-modules 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 4d 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.

Vertically Sliced Feature Modules

This skill organizes systems around capabilities that own their implementation end to end. Feature roots, nested subsystems, compositional entry points, and deliberately promoted shared boundaries keep cohesion high and dependency direction visible.

Reconstruct the current ownership graph and build/runtime boundaries before proposing folders. Treat the example trees as adaptable ownership shapes, not prescribed filenames.

Feature Ownership

A feature owns one user-visible or business capability end to end. Keep its complete private implementation closure under that owner, recursively, instead of scattering technical roles across global layers.

An entry implements or composes the operation its consumer needs. Keep setup options private when a caller only uses them to finish that operation. Do not introduce a forwarding wrapper or re-export barrel to manufacture an entry point.

Keep a readable private helper in its consumer. Extract a utility file when meaningful sans-I/O behavior needs a focused colocated test, even with one production consumer; this does not make the utility shared. Do not invent tests for trivial glue.

Features are isolated siblings and do not import one another. Callers and orchestrators compose feature entries. When multiple features need the same stable logic, promote it to a focused shared owner instead of making either feature the dependency of the other.

References

Read the reference that matches the ownership or boundary being changed.

  1. Keep each capability's technical roles together under its owning feature.
  2. Compose features through deliberate entries and one-way public boundaries.
  3. Promote shared ownership and package boundaries only when the system requires them.
  4. Preserve the existing ownership graph, contracts, and behavior during structural changes.

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.

vertically-sliced-feature-modules is a skill published in the GitHub repository Casper-Studios/casper-marketplace (12 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MPL-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 642 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
