base

base is a skill for Claude Code from finom/vovk. It costs 123 tokens per session (3,666 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Foundational instructions for Vovk.ts, a TypeScript tool that creates HTTP endpoints and generated clients from backend procedures. They define required project files, schema artifacts, commands, and core API concepts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them for Vovk backend work in Next.js projects, including procedures, controllers, segments, RPC clients, schema generation, and the required repository setup.
Why use it?
They give other Vovk instructions a shared set of rules and help keep generated schemas, routes, and client code consistent.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import ArticleController from '../../../modules/article/article-controller';.

    Tool defaults are unsafe or overly permissive (e.g. disabled TLS verification, no authentication, world-writable permissions). Unsafe defaults widen the attack surface.
    Fix: Override unsafe defaults with secure settings (verify=True, auth required, restrictive permissions). Review and harden all tool configurations.

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

base 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vovk.ts essentials

What a typical API build needs. Every fact here matches vovk 4.1's code: don't read node_modules/vovk* to check it (version, exports, CLI), and don't WebFetch vovk.dev. If something is missing, say so. The installed version is the vovk entry in package.json (require('vovk/package.json') throws: the file isn't exported); the vovk bin is in node_modules/.bin.

Deeper topics, one skill each: procedure (.fn(), content types, uploads, downloads, server actions), decorators (auth, meta, stacking), segment (several or static segments), rpc (client options, fetcher), openapi (@operation, Scalar), jsonlines (streaming), tools (AI tools, MCP), config, init, bundle, mixins, multitenant, python, rust.

What vovk exports

  • Values: procedure, initSegment, get, post, put, patch, del, head, options, prefix, operation, createDecorator, HttpException, HttpStatus, HttpMethod, JSONLinesResponder, progressive, toDownloadResponse, controllersToStaticParams, multitenant, deriveTools, ToModelOutput, cloneControllerMetadata.
  • Types: VovkRequest, VovkBody, VovkQuery, VovkParams, VovkInput, VovkOutput, VovkIteration, VovkReturnType, VovkYieldType, VovkConfig, VovkSchema, and a few more for tools and streams.
  • Other entry points: vovk/fetcher (fetcher, createFetcher), vovk/create-rpc, vovk/create-validate-on-client.

Rules

  • Node.js 24.15+, Next.js 15+ App Router, TypeScript 5.5+.
  • Commit .vovk-schema/; the generated client dir (src/client) is gitignored and rebuilt by prebuild.

Layout

  • Segment: src/app/api/[[...vovk]]/route.ts serves /api/*. Create it once with npx vovk new segment.
  • Module: src/modules/<name>/<name>-controller.ts and <name>-service.ts. npx vovk new controller service <name> --empty writes both and adds the controller to route.ts; writing them yourself and adding the controller to controllers works the same. <name> is camelCase (userProfile).
  • Controller: static procedures with HTTP decorators. A procedure reads the validated input and calls the service.
  • Service: business logic and data, plain typed arguments, never req.

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.

base is a skill published in the GitHub repository finom/vovk (53 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 3,666 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
