.agents/skills/backend-conventions/SKILL.md

backend-conventions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from getsentry/sentry. It costs 140 tokens per session (1,194 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A set of Sentry rules for Python code that records logs, metrics, traces, and reads configuration options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or editing Python in Sentry’s src/ directory that logs messages, records metrics, instruments spans or transactions, or reads registered options.
Why use it?
It helps keep backend instrumentation consistent when code needs to report activity, timings, errors, or configured values.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is getsentry/sentry's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on sentry 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 sentry configures →

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

backend-conventions 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Changes

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.
