shap

shap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dralkh/iktinah. It costs 109 tokens per session (4,313 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of shap, MIT.

A method for explaining machine-learning predictions by estimating how much each input feature contributed to an output. SHAP can be applied to models such as trees, neural networks, linear models, and black-box systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to calculate feature contributions, create explanation plots, compare model behavior, debug predictions, and examine bias or fairness.
Why use it?
It makes model behavior easier to inspect when a prediction is surprising or when you need evidence about important features, bias, or fairness.

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

shap 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 4d 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.

SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations)

Overview

SHAP is a unified approach to explain machine learning model outputs using Shapley values from cooperative game theory. This skill provides comprehensive guidance for:

  • Computing SHAP values for any model type
  • Creating visualizations to understand feature importance
  • Debugging and validating model behavior
  • Analyzing fairness and bias
  • Implementing explainable AI in production

SHAP works with all model types: tree-based models (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, Random Forest), deep learning models (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras), linear models, and black-box models.

When to Use This Skill

Trigger this skill when users ask about:

  • "Explain which features are most important in my model"
  • "Generate SHAP plots" (waterfall, beeswarm, bar, scatter, force, heatmap, etc.)
  • "Why did my model make this prediction?"
  • "Calculate SHAP values for my model"
  • "Visualize feature importance using SHAP"
  • "Debug my model's behavior" or "validate my model"
  • "Check my model for bias" or "analyze fairness"
  • "Compare feature importance across models"
  • "Implement explainable AI" or "add explanations to my model"
  • "Understand feature interactions"
  • "Create model interpretation dashboard"

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Select the Right Explainer

Decision Tree:

  1. Tree-based model? (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting)

    • Use shap.TreeExplainer (fast, exact)
  2. Deep neural network? (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers)

    • Use shap.DeepExplainer or shap.GradientExplainer
  3. Linear model? (Linear/Logistic Regression, GLMs)

    • Use shap.LinearExplainer (extremely fast)
  4. Any other model? (SVMs, custom functions, black-box models)

    • Use shap.KernelExplainer (model-agnostic but slower)
  5. Unsure?

    • Use shap.Explainer (automatically selects best algorithm)

See references/explainers.md for detailed information on all explainer types.

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.
