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

docs-cleaner 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 805 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Docs Cleaner

Documentation goes wrong in recurring ways, and they need different work.

It rots. Something changed — a port, a path, a procedure, a decision — and the docs still describe the old world. The field's name for this is documentation rot or version drift: artifacts fall out of sync one at a time until people stop trusting the set.

It sprawls. The same topic accumulates three files, each partly right, none authoritative.

They trace to one root cause: a fact was written down in more places than it was defined. Everything below follows from fixing that.

Core principle (governs both modes)

Critical evaluation before deletion. Never blindly delete. Analyze each section's unique value before proposing removal. The goal is reduction without information loss.

This governs every deletion-shaped action in this skill, not just consolidation: archiving a document, dropping a derived value, and removing a cross-reference are all deletions and all owe the same analysis first. "It looked redundant" is not that analysis.

Which mode are you in?

The user said / the situation Mode
"I changed X" / a diff exists / a procedure was updated 1 — Post-change governance
"which docs are now wrong", "check for stale commands/paths" 1 — Post-change governance
"clean up the docs", "too many files on this", "merge these" 2 — Consolidation
A topic is spread over several files with no clear owner 2 — Consolidation

They share the Drift Test below. When both apply, run Mode 1 first: consolidating docs that are also factually stale just produces one confidently wrong document.

A note on CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md: both modes apply to them like any other document — govern them after a change, consolidate them when they duplicate each other. The one job that belongs elsewhere is restructuring a single oversized one — pushing low-frequency detail down into references while keeping the top level lean. That is what daymade-claude-code's claude-md-progressive-disclosurer skill is built for; prefer it when the problem is size and layering rather than truth or duplication. If it is not available, Mode 2 still handles the file — you just do the value analysis by hand.

What ships with it

2 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.

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.
