skill-tuning

skill-tuning is a skill for Claude Code from catlog22/Claude-Code-Workflow. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,633 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic and improvement workflow for fixing problems in how coding-agent skills run. It examines context use, memory, data flow, coordination, documentation, and token use, then applies and retests changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose skill execution problems, investigate complex skill architecture or performance issues, and verify proposed fixes.
Why use it?
It helps find why a skill loses information, uses too much context, passes data incorrectly, or coordinates agents poorly. This avoids relying on guesswork when a skill behaves unreliably.

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-tuning 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.
