Claude Code Templates is a command-line tool and catalogue for configuring Anthropic’s Claude Code with agents, commands, settings, hooks, integrations, skills, and project templates. Developers use it to browse and install reusable components for their coding workflows. The catalogue includes many of these Claude Code components.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high YARA Match · line 41 YARA rule matched a known malware signature (reverse shell, backdoor, ransomware, C2 framework, or info stealer).Fix: Remove the malware payload or compromised file entirely. Investigate how it entered the skill and audit all other artifacts for additional indicators of compromise.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.03056 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01528 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00611 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00306 |
Grade A, and why
transformer-lens-interpretability 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 9d 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.
Copies of this mod
3 near-identical copies found in the catalogue:

TransformerLens: Mechanistic Interpretability for Transformers
TransformerLens is the de facto standard library for mechanistic interpretability research on GPT-style language models. Created by Neel Nanda and maintained by Bryce Meyer, it provides clean interfaces to inspect and manipulate model internals via HookPoints on every activation.
GitHub: TransformerLensOrg/TransformerLens (2,900+ stars)
When to Use TransformerLens
Use TransformerLens when you need to:
- Reverse-engineer algorithms learned during training
- Perform activation patching / causal tracing experiments
- Study attention patterns and information flow
- Analyze circuits (e.g., induction heads, IOI circuit)
- Cache and inspect intermediate activations
- Apply direct logit attribution
Consider alternatives when:
- You need to work with non-transformer architectures → Use nnsight or pyvene
- You want to train/analyze Sparse Autoencoders → Use SAELens
- You need remote execution on massive models → Use nnsight with NDIF
- You want higher-level causal intervention abstractions → Use pyvene
Installation
pip install transformer-lens
For development version:
pip install git+https://github.com/TransformerLensOrg/TransformerLens
Core Concepts
HookedTransformer
The main class that wraps transformer models with HookPoints on every activation:
from transformer_lens import HookedTransformer
# Load a model
model = HookedTransformer.from_pretrained("gpt2-small")
# For gated models (LLaMA, Mistral)
import os
os.environ["HF_TOKEN"] = "your_token"
model = HookedTransformer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf")
Supported Models (50+)
| Family | Models |
|---|---|
| GPT-2 | gpt2, gpt2-medium, gpt2-large, gpt2-xl |
| LLaMA | llama-7b, llama-13b, llama-2-7b, llama-2-13b |
| EleutherAI | pythia-70m to pythia-12b, gpt-neo, gpt-j-6b |
| Mistral | mistral-7b, mixtral-8x7b |
| Others | phi, qwen, opt, gemma |
What ships with it
3 files 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.
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.

transformer-lens-interpretability is a skill published in the GitHub repository davila7/claude-code-templates (30,611 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 3,056 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
