What is skill.move_to_rules?

A maintenance workflow that moves broadly reusable instructions from an individual skill file into its shared rule file.

It is for identifying reusable content, relocating it, adding a reference, and checking that nothing was lost or repeated.

It reduces duplicated guidance and keeps general rules in one place, with the skill pointing to them.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00012	$0.00269
Opus 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00108
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00054
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00027

Security

Grade A, and why

skill.move_to_rules 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 yesterday.

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

Goal

Given the skill file <SKILL_FILE> passed by the user, move its general content into the corresponding rule file <RULE_FILE>

Workflow

Read Skill Rules and Identify Files

Read .claude/skills/skill.rules.md

Print the name of the skill and rule file

Skill file: <SKILL_FILE>
Rule file: <RULE_FILE>

Find General Content

Find the parts that refer to general rules that belong in <RULE_FILE>

Move the Content

Move those parts from <SKILL_FILE> to <RULE_FILE>, in the right section

Add a Reference

Add a reference to the moved section in <SKILL_FILE>, e.g.:
```
- Follow the section `XYZ` from the file `<RULE_FILE>`
```

Verification

<RULE_FILE> contains the moved general content, in the right section
<SKILL_FILE> references the moved section instead of restating it
No content was lost or duplicated between <SKILL_FILE> and <RULE_FILE>

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.
