solid

A set of five software design principles for organizing classes, interfaces, and modules so they are easier to change, understand, and test.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing modules, refactoring large classes, reviewing pull requests, deciding module boundaries, or making TypeScript code easier to test.
Why use it?
It helps identify code with too many responsibilities, overly large interfaces, tight dependencies, or type-specific branching that makes changes risky.

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

solid 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 2d 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.

SOLID Principles

Five principles for building software that is easy to understand, extend, and maintain. They reduce coupling, increase cohesion, and make code testable.

When to Apply

Reference these principles when:

  • Designing new classes, modules, or interfaces
  • Refactoring code with too many responsibilities
  • Reviewing PRs for architectural concerns
  • Breaking apart god objects or fat interfaces
  • Deciding where to draw module boundaries
  • Making code more testable

Quick Reference

Principle One-Liner Red Flag
SRP One reason to change "This class handles X and Y and Z"
OCP Add, don't modify Growing if/else or switch chains for types
LSP Subtypes are substitutable Type-checking or special-casing in calling code
ISP Small, focused interfaces Empty method implementations or throw new Error("Not implemented")
DIP Depend on abstractions new ConcreteClass() inside business logic

See references/PRINCIPLES.md for detailed explanations and TypeScript examples.

Detection Checklist

Ask these questions for every class and module:

Question Violated Principle
Does this class have multiple reasons to change? SRP
Do I need to modify existing code to add a new variant? OCP
Does calling code need type-checks or special cases for subtypes? LSP
Are implementors forced to stub out unused methods? ISP
Does high-level logic directly instantiate infrastructure? DIP

Applying SOLID at Different Scales

Scale SRP OCP LSP ISP DIP
Function Does one thing Takes abstractions as params
Class One reason to change Extend via composition Subtypes honor contracts Implements only what it uses Constructor injection
Module One bounded context Plugin architecture Interchangeable implementations Thin public API Depends inward
Service Single domain New features = new services API contract stability Minimal API surface Abstractions at boundaries

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.

solid is a skill published in the GitHub repository fellipeutaka/leon (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 933 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 2026-08-31.
