Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00060 | $0.01647 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00823 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00329 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00165 |
Grade A, and why
bdd 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)
BDD is not just about tools; it's a methodology for shared understanding and high-quality implementation. This skill governs the Discovery → Formulation → Automation lifecycle: Gherkin scenarios define the behavior, and the Automation phase (red-green loop) is delegated to /mattpocock:tdd (BDD-driven).
When exploring the codebase, read CONTEXT.md (if it exists) so test names and interface vocabulary match the project's domain language, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.
How to Use This Skill
When the user asks for a feature, bug fix, or refactor, apply the following mindset:
- Understand Behavior First: Do not start coding until you know what the system should do.
- Define Scenarios: Create or ask for concrete examples (Gherkin) of the expected behavior.
- Drive Implementation with Tests: Use the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.
The BDD Cycle
The process flows from requirements to code:
- Discovery: Clarify requirements through examples (The "Three Amigos").
- Formulation: Write these examples as specific scenarios (Given/When/Then).
- Automation: Implement using the red-green-refactor cycle via
/mattpocock:tdd, which governs test quality, seams, mocking, and anti-patterns.
See ./references/bdd-best-practices.md for a detailed guide.
Writing Scenarios (Gherkin)
Scenarios are your "Executable Specifications".
- Keep them declarative (business focus).
- Avoid technical jargon and UI details.
- One behavior per scenario.
- Store executable scenarios in
.featurefiles or the framework-native executable test format — not as code comments. Once implementation begins, translate the scenarios that will be automated into.featurefiles or the framework-native executable test format, so they double as living documentation.
See ./references/gherkin-guide.md for syntax and storage structure.
Automation Phase
The Automation phase (red-green loop) is governed by the /mattpocock:tdd skill (BDD-driven). When the Gherkin scenario is defined and the seam is agreed, invoke /mattpocock:tdd for:
What ships with it
6 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.
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.
- 2d ago First seen · 106 lines · 60 tokens per session scan A f7be22f353e1
bdd is a skill published in the GitHub repository FradSer/dotclaude (588 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,647 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 2026-08-30.
