comms

comms is a skill for Claude Code from desplega-ai/ai-toolbox. It costs 120 tokens per session (1,544 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A skill for restating a reply or topic so its meaning is easier to understand. It supports plain casual language, visual sketches or HTML artifacts, combined explanations, and ASD-STE100, a controlled form of English.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask for a simpler explanation, a diagram or code-shaped sketch, an HTML visual, or clearer technical wording.
Why use it?
It helps when wording is too complex, vague, or hard to follow. It offers a way to change how information is presented without changing the subject.

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

comms 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.
