code-structure

code-structure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from getlytos/lytos-cli. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for organizing source files, names, modules, and components. It aims to keep each part focused, maintainable, and connected to the rest of the code through clear boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing code, refactoring, creating modules or components, or checking structure alongside a code review.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion and makes code easier to change, test, and review as a project grows. The rules discourage oversized files, unnecessary abstractions, and tightly tangled dependencies.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { pgRepository } from '../db/postgres';.

Good fit Use it when writing code, refactoring, creating modules or components, or checking structure alongside a code review.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

code-structure 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.

Skill — Code Structure

This skill defines the rules for file structure, naming, and code organization on a project using Lytos. An agent loaded with this skill produces clean, consistent, and maintainable code.


When to invoke this skill

  • When writing any new code
  • During a refactoring
  • As a complement to the code-review skill to verify structure
  • When creating a new module or component

Foundational principles

The rules in this skill are practical applications of established software design principles:

  • Single Responsibility (SRP) — each file, class, or function has one reason to change. This is why we enforce the 300-line rule and one-function-one-job.
  • Dependency Inversion (DIP) — depend on abstractions, not implementations. High-level modules should not import low-level details directly. This enables testing and swapping implementations.
  • High cohesion, low coupling — related code stays together (cohesion), unrelated modules interact through narrow interfaces (coupling). A module that needs to import half the codebase is a design smell.
  • YAGNI — You Aren't Gonna Need It. Do not build abstractions for hypothetical future requirements. Three similar lines of code is better than a premature abstraction.

You do not need to memorize these names. The rules below make them concrete.


Fundamental rule — 300 lines max per file

A file must never exceed 300 lines of code (excluding comments and blank lines).

Why: a file that's too long is a sign of multiple responsibilities. It is harder to read, test, and maintain.

When a file exceeds 300 lines:

  1. Identify the distinct responsibilities in the file
  2. Extract each responsibility into its own file
  3. Keep the original file as an entry point if needed
  4. Update imports and dependencies

Separation of concerns

Principle

Each file, each function, each class has one single reason to change.

In practice

Bad Good
One file handling the route, validation, business logic, and response Route -> Controller -> Service -> Repository
One function that computes, formats, and sends compute() + format() + send()
A React component that fetches, processes, and displays Hook useProducts() + Component ProductList

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.

code-structure is a skill published in the GitHub repository getlytos/lytos-cli (2 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 2,162 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 2026-08-31.
