sdk-seam

sdk-seam is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gridaco/grida. It costs 142 tokens per session (4,362 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design discipline for the boundary between two software development kits, or SDKs, which are libraries developers use to connect to a system. It treats that boundary like a network protocol, foreign-function interface, or inter-process channel that cannot be changed casually.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing APIs, SDKs, shared message formats, package boundaries, or integrations between separately developed software parts.
Why use it?
When one team controls both sides, it is easy to make shortcuts that tightly couple them. This guidance helps keep the shared contract clear, stable, and safe to change independently.

About the project

Grida is an open-source graphics workspace that combines an infinite canvas editor, SVG tools, a database and CMS, and forms. Designers and developers use it to create, import, render, and manage visual documents and connected data, while the catalogue add-ons support its workflows.

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

sdk-seam 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 4d 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 — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

sdk-seam

Companion to sdk-design. Read that first; its deciding table and disciplines are the foundation this skill builds on. Where sdk-design is about a single SDK's surface, this skill is about the seam — the joint between two SDKs (or two sides of one contract) — and what it takes to keep that joint clean when the same author writes both sides.

The failure mode

When you control both sides of a boundary, you produce dirty contracts — simply because you can. A field gets added on the producer side because the consumer needs it; the consumer reaches into the producer's internal shape because no public view exposes the slice; a one-off helper crosses the boundary because "we're going to refactor it later." Six months later the contract is unrecoverable, and the two sides can only be deployed together.

The honest test: if we couldn't shotgun-edit both sides at once, this design wouldn't be possible. That's not a virtue. It's a warning.

If the contract had been an IPC channel, an FFI ABI, a network protocol, or a published-versus-consumed package boundary from the start, the design would have been clean from the beginning, and it would have evolved cleanly. Cross-boundary work inside one repo, one workspace, or one mono-language project doesn't get that discipline for free — you have to manufacture it.

This applies to:

  • Two packages/grida-* packages where one consumes the other.
  • A package and its host application (a crates/* crate + a binary that links it; an npm package + a Next.js app).
  • A Rust crate and its WASM/FFI bindings (where one party can change generated code on the other side at will).
  • Two services sharing a wire format you control on both ends.
  • Two modules within one package that genuinely should be on opposite sides of a contract (because one is "core logic" and the other is "shell" — see $sdk-design D2).

The exercise

Before editing, restate the work as if you only owned one side.

sdk-seam is a skill published in the GitHub repository gridaco/grida (2,629 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 142 tokens to every session and 4,362 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
