ijfw-summarize

ijfw-summarize is a skill for Claude Code from FerroxLabs/ijfw. It costs 32 tokens per session (325 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase-scanning workflow that writes a short CLAUDE.md project guide. The guide records the technologies, important folders, entry points, tests, linting commands, and established code patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work in an unfamiliar project or when a project has no current context file. It helps an agent find the right files and follow the existing development and testing practices.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent useful project context without making a developer explain the repository at the start of every session. It avoids guessing by leaving uncertain details out.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

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

ijfw-summarize 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/detect-type.sh, scripts/dream_trigger.py, scripts/dream-trigger.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 it actually says

Scan the codebase and generate an optimized project context file.

Process

  1. Read: package.json, tsconfig.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .env.example, Makefile -- whatever exists.
  2. Scan: directory structure (2 levels deep), test framework, linter config, CI config.
  3. Detect: language, framework, database, ORM, auth approach, deployment target.
  4. Identify: key directories, entry points, API route patterns, shared utilities.

Output

Write a CLAUDE.md (or platform equivalent) with:

# Project Context

Stack: <framework> / <language> / <database>
Architecture: <pattern -- monolith, microservices, serverless, etc.>
Entry: <main entry point(s)>
Tests: <framework + command to run>
Lint: <tool + command>

## Structure
<key directories and their purpose, 1 line each>

## Patterns
<established code patterns to follow, 1 line each>

## Key Files
<important files a new contributor should know about>

Rules:

  • Max 50 lines. This loads every session.
  • No boilerplate explanations. Just facts.
  • If uncertain about a pattern, omit it -- don't guess.
Files

What ships with it

3 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.

ijfw-summarize is a skill published in the GitHub repository FerroxLabs/ijfw (210 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-05.
