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

rubocop 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 7d 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.

RuboCop Code Analysis & Formatting

RuboCop is Ruby's premier static code analyzer (linter) and formatter, based on the community-driven Ruby Style Guide. This skill enables comprehensive code analysis, automatic formatting, and enforcement of coding standards across Ruby projects including Rails applications.

When to Use This Skill

Claude automatically uses this skill when users:

  • Ask to "check", "lint", "analyze", or "review" Ruby code
  • Request code formatting or style improvements
  • Want to enforce coding standards or style guidelines
  • Need to detect potential bugs or code smells
  • Ask about RuboCop configuration or setup
  • Request Rails, RSpec, or performance-specific analysis
  • Want to run autocorrections on Ruby code

Core Capabilities

Code Analysis & Linting

  • Detects style violations, bugs, and code smells across all cop departments
  • Supports Rails, RSpec, Performance, and custom cop extensions
  • Provides detailed offense reports with line numbers and descriptions

Automatic Code Correction

  • Safe autocorrection (-a) for guaranteed-safe fixes
  • Unsafe autocorrection (-A) for broader but riskier corrections
  • Layout-only fixes (-x) for formatting without logic changes

Configuration & Customization

  • Flexible .rubocop.yml configuration
  • Per-project and per-directory configuration inheritance
  • Selective cop enabling/disabling and severity adjustment
  • Custom cop development support

Extension Integration

  • rubocop-rails: Rails best practices and conventions
  • rubocop-rspec: RSpec-specific analysis
  • rubocop-performance: Performance optimization checks

Quick Analysis Workflow

Run Basic Analysis

# Analyze current directory
rubocop

# Analyze specific files/directories
rubocop app spec lib/important_file.rb

# Show only correctable offenses
rubocop --display-only-correctable

Apply Corrections

# Safe autocorrection only (recommended)
rubocop -a

# All corrections including unsafe
rubocop -A

# Layout/formatting corrections only
rubocop -x

# Autocorrect specific cops
rubocop -a --only Style/StringLiterals,Layout/TrailingWhitespace

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.
