setup-ts-deep-modules

setup-ts-deep-modules is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from frontal-labs/mcp-server. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,822 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of setup-ts-deep-modules, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide for enforcing package boundaries in a TypeScript repository with dependency-cruiser. A package boundary means outside code can use only the package's root entry files, while implementation in subfolders stays private.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps organize packages into public entry points and private implementation folders, install the dependency rules, and verify that forbidden imports fail.
Why use it?
It prevents other packages from depending on internal files, making later refactoring less likely to break callers.

Written for Claude Code and Codex: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; positional $N argument; mentions AGENTS.md.

Good fit It helps organize packages into public entry points and private implementation folders, install the dependency rules, and verify that forbidden imports fail.

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

setup-ts-deep-modules 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (dependency-cruiser.config.cjs), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Setup TS Deep Modules

Make every package in this repo a deep module: a lot of behaviour behind a small interface. A package's public surface is its entry points (the files at the package root), and everything in its subfolders is hidden. This skill installs dependency-cruiser and the rules that make the entry points the only way in, then proves the rules bite.

For the vocabulary (deep module, interface, seam, depth), call the Skill tool with "codebase-design" and use its language throughout.

The shape this enforces

src/packages/
  <name>/
    index.ts        ← an entry point (public). Import this from outside.
    client.ts       ← another entry point. Packages may expose SEVERAL.
    lib/            ← implementation: hidden from outside, free to import each other.
    tests/          ← co-located tests + fixtures (a subfolder, so private).

The public surface is the package's root files, not one designated index.ts. By convention implementation lives in lib/ and tests in tests/, giving every package the same two-folder shape. The rule itself is general, though: anything in any subfolder is private, so you never extend the config to add a folder.

Four rules, all error:

  1. Entry-point boundary: code outside a package (app code or another package) may import only that package's entry points (its root files), never anything in its subfolders.
  2. Intra-package freedom: a package's own files import each other freely.
  3. Tests through the entry points: files under <pkg>/tests/ may import any package's entry points and their own tests/ fixtures, but never any package's subfolder internals (not even their own). Integration tests across packages are fine; deep imports are not.
  4. No cycles: no dependency cycles.

Entry points, not a barrel. Because the public surface is every root file, a package can expose several small entry points (index.ts, client.ts, server.ts) instead of funnelling everything through one giant index.ts. Barrel files that re-export a whole subtree are discouraged; keep entry points small and hide implementation in subfolders.

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.
