poe_mcp_suite: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/freshness-check/SKILL.md

freshness-check is a skill for Claude Code from charleslucas/poe_mcp_suite. It costs 46 tokens per session (595 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checking process for confirming that Path of Exile mechanics, items, and systems are still accurate for the current league, the game's rotating season. It also checks whether a mechanic applies to the character's league or event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before explaining or planning around a mechanic, item, league feature, or character-specific rule.
Why use it?
Path of Exile changes regularly, so remembered information may be outdated or may belong to a different game mode.

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

freshness-check 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 11d 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 it actually says

Your PoE training knowledge has a model-specific cutoff and the game changes every league, so the biggest risk is an unknown unknown: confidently asserting a mechanic that changed or didn't exist yet.

  1. Read reference_data/freshness_index.md and follow its "How to use it" procedure:
    • Identify the running model (mcp__pob__get_context_usage reports the model ID).
    • Look up that model's training cutoff in the index's model table.
    • Treat anything in the index newer than the running model's cutoff as must-verify — use the entry's "Where / verify via" pointer (a cached file, a memory, or a fresh fetch_wiki_page / live PoB call).
  2. If the mechanic/item isn't in the index but is plausibly recent (current or last few leagues), verify it anyway and add a row to the index so the next session is covered.
  3. Scope filter (compartmentalization). Also consult the mechanic-keyed companion reference_data/mechanics_index.md for each mechanic's current scope (core / challenge-league / event-only / removed / disabled-this-league / nerfed). When the task concerns a specific character, first establish its context (league/realm, and whether it's an event character — see playbooks/README.md §2c), then only apply mechanics whose scope includes that context. A Mirage-only or event-only mechanic must not be recommended for a Standard / next-league / non-event character; a removed or disabled-this-league one isn't present at all. This stops league/event data bleeding into the wrong build.
  4. This is most load-bearing when asserting how a mechanic works or evaluating a unique/node/item's current stats — not every step of a task. Per CLAUDE.md, defer to live tool data over memory when they conflict.

Do not duplicate the index content here — the index is the single source of truth and is maintained per league.

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.
