agents-reverse-engineer: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/are-help/SKILL.md

are-help is a skill for Claude Code from GeoloeG-IsT/agents-reverse-engineer. It costs 10 tokens per session (2,775 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A help command for ARE, a tool that generates structured documentation about a codebase for AI assistants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to see commands for discovering files, generating or updating documentation, and viewing ARE costs and telemetry.
Why use it?
It gives you a quick reference for available ARE commands and their usage instead of requiring you to remember them.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is GeoloeG-IsT/agents-reverse-engineer's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agents-reverse-engineer itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agents-reverse-engineer configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is npx agents-reverse-engineer specify --output ./docs/spec.md --force.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to GeoloeG-IsT/agents-reverse-engineer. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

are-help 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 6d 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 — 358 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

First: Read .claude/ARE-VERSION → store as $VERSION. Show the user: agents-reverse-engineer v$VERSION

Then: Output ONLY the reference content below. Do NOT add:

  • Project-specific analysis
  • Git status or file context
  • Next-step suggestions
  • Any commentary beyond the reference

ARE generates AI-friendly documentation for codebases, creating structured summaries optimized for AI assistants.

Quick Start

  1. /are-generate — Generate documentation for the codebase
  2. /are-update — Keep docs in sync after code changes
  3. /are-dashboard — View costs and telemetry

Configuration (.agents-reverse-engineer/config.yaml) is created automatically during installation.

Commands Reference

/are-discover

Discover files that would be analyzed for documentation.

Shows included files, excluded files with reasons, and generates a GENERATION-PLAN.md execution plan.

Options:

Flag Description
[path] Target directory (default: current directory)
--debug Show verbose debug output
--trace Enable concurrency tracing to .agents-reverse-engineer/traces/
Usage:
  • /are-discover — Discover files and generate execution plan

CLI:

npx agents-reverse-engineer discover
npx agents-reverse-engineer discover ./src

/are-generate

Generate comprehensive documentation for the codebase.

Options:

Flag Description
[path] Target directory (default: current directory)
--concurrency N Number of concurrent AI calls (default: auto)
--dry-run Show what would be generated without writing
--eval Namespace output by backend.model for comparison
--fail-fast Stop on first file analysis failure
--debug Show AI prompts and backend details
--trace Enable concurrency tracing to .agents-reverse-engineer/traces/
Usage:
  • /are-generate — Generate docs
  • /are-generate --dry-run — Preview without writing
  • /are-generate --eval — Generate variant docs for comparison
  • /are-generate --concurrency 3 — Limit parallel AI calls

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.

are-help is a skill published in the GitHub repository GeoloeG-IsT/agents-reverse-engineer (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 2,775 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 2026-08-30.
