assembly

assembly is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 18 tokens per session (359 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A low-level programming language that maps closely to a computer processor’s instructions. It is used when software must directly control hardware or memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for operating-system kernels, embedded devices, reverse engineering, or rare cases requiring extreme optimisation.
Why use it?
It gives precise control over how a processor runs code, which higher-level languages may hide. The trade-off is that it is difficult to read and write.

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

assembly 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Assembly

Low-level language with a very strong correspondence between the instruction in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions.

When to Use

  • Operating System Kernels
  • Embedded Systems / Microcontrollers
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Extreme optimization (rarely needed today)

Quick Start (x86_64 Linux)

section .data
    msg db "Hello, World!", 0xa
    len equ $ - msg

section .text
    global _start

_start:
    mov rax, 1      ; write syscall
    mov rdi, 1      ; stdout
    mov rsi, msg    ; buffer
    mov rdx, len    ; length
    syscall

    mov rax, 60     ; exit syscall
    xor rdi, rdi    ; exit code 0
    syscall

Core Concepts

Registers

Small, fast storage locations directly in the CPU (e.g., RAX, RBX, RIP).

Instructions

Commands executed by the CPU (MOV, ADD, SUB, JMP).

Stack

Region of memory for storing local variables and return addresses (USH, POP).

Best Practices

Do:

  • Use comments liberally (assembly is hard to read)
  • Follow calling conventions (e.g., System V AMD64 ABI)
  • Use descriptive labels

Don't:

  • Hand-optimize unless you beat the compiler (unlikely)
  • Ignore alignment requirements

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.

assembly is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 359 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
