reference-pack

reference-pack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cynthiajones34/GBrain. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,013 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of reference-pack, MIT.

A reference skillpack that documents the files and quality checks expected in a third-party gbrain skillpack. A skillpack is a package of agent instructions and related tests or operating guides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing a skillpack, including its manifest, skill instructions, bootstrap runbook, tests, evaluation files, and changelog.
Why use it?
It gives authors a concrete structure for packaging skills and explains what gbrain's doctor checks before publication.

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

reference-pack 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to reference-pack — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What this skill does

When the user asks how third-party gbrain skillpacks work, this skill points them at the four artifacts every pack ships:

  • skillpack.json — declares pack metadata + which artifacts the doctor scores (skills, unit_tests, e2e_tests, llm_evals, routing_evals, runbooks, changelog).
  • skills/<name>/SKILL.md — frontmatter (name, description, mutating, triggers) plus markdown body. Agents route on triggers:; the body is the in-context instruction set.
  • runbooks/bootstrap.md — agent-readable post-scaffold steps. gbrain DISPLAYS this after scaffold lands; the agent walks per-step at its own discretion. No auto-executor (codex T1 supply-chain hardening).
  • CHANGELOG.md — Keep-a-Changelog shape. The doctor's changelog_ present_and_current dimension fails if there's no ## [<version>] entry matching the manifest's version.

What the doctor scores

Ten binary dimensions, split into:

Core (5; must all pass to publish at any tier):

  1. manifest_valid — schema-validates skillpack.json
  2. skills_have_skill_md — every listed skill has SKILL.md with name / description / triggers
  3. routing_evals_present — each skill has routing-eval.jsonl with

    = 5 intents

  4. skills_have_unique_triggers — MECE at the pack level
  5. changelog_present_and_current — CHANGELOG entry for current version

Quality badges (5; earn for tier eligibility):

  1. unit_tests_present — manifest.unit_tests matches >= 1 file
  2. e2e_tests_present — manifest.e2e_tests matches >= 1 file
  3. llm_eval_present — *.judge.json with >= 3 cases
  4. bootstrap_runbook_present — non-empty runbooks/bootstrap.md
  5. license_present — LICENSE / LICENSE.md / LICENSE.txt non-empty

Tier eligibility:

  • endorsed — all 10 (gates: Garry's endorsements.json overlay in the registry)
  • community — all 5 core + >= 3 of 5 badges (default tier on PR merge)
  • experimental — all 5 core + < 3 badges
  • blocked — any core fails

What ships with it

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.
