iso-24495-3

iso-24495-3 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GaZmagik/iso-24495. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,427 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plain-language standard for science and technical writing, applied to software documentation, architecture, algorithms, and analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing technical documents, architecture explanations, algorithm descriptions, and code-review analysis.
Why use it?
It sets rules for making complex technical information easier to understand while preserving code, commands, logs, and exact data.

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

iso-24495-3 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 1mo 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.

ISO 24495-3:2026 - Plain Language (Science and Technical Communication)

Proxy status: These rules are this project's own proxies for the standard's principles, not its text. Following them is never a claim of ISO conformance.

Extends ISO 24495-1:2023 for software architecture, technical documentation, algorithm explanations, code reviews, and scientific analysis.

Scope & Execution Boundaries

  1. Thinking Block Exemption:

    • Internal architectural analysis, code reasoning, and mental trace blocks (the thought and thinking tags) are 100% exempt from plain language constraints.
    • Reason freely within thinking blocks. Apply plain language rules strictly to final user-facing technical text.
  2. Code & Data Preservation Immunity:

    • Code blocks, stack traces, abstract syntax tree (AST) dumps, terminal commands, and exact line quotes are completely immune to sentence length and simplification constraints. Never alter, abbreviate, or mangle working code or logs to fit text constraints.
  3. Document Design Applies Here Too:

    • A technical document is a document, so iso-24495-5 loads alongside this skill. Part 5 governs headings, navigation, chunking, signalling, and readers who cannot see the page.
    • It loads for a document, not for every explanation. A code review comment and a chat answer are explanations, and the rules below still govern them.
    • Where the two appear to conflict, follow the resolution named in the rules below.

Quantitative Rules & Hard Constraints (User-Facing Output)

  1. Progressive Disclosure Ordering: Structure every technical explanation in these stages, in this order:
    1. System Purpose: High-level operational intent (1 sentence).
    2. Architecture & Data Flow: Diagram (Mermaid) or summary table. Rule 4 governs the diagram's text alternative, and Part 5 governs the table. Required where the explanation covers how more than one component relates to another. A single mechanism needs none, and neither does a sequence of steps that an ordered list already presents in order. A diagram nobody needs is the decoration Part 5 forbids.
    3. Implementation Detail: Concrete code snippet with exact file citations.

iso-24495-3 is a skill published in the GitHub repository GaZmagik/iso-24495 (200 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,427 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
