dotfiles: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills-archive/dot-file-from-spec/SKILL.md

dotfile-from-spec is a skill for Claude Code from harperreed/dotfiles. It costs 86 tokens per session (8,593 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A skill that turns a written specification, design document, plan, or prompt plan into a Graphviz DOT file. DOT is a text format for describing diagrams, here used to represent an automated build pipeline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting build phases, choosing the technology stack, recording human approval points and model preferences, and producing a validated pipeline file.
Why use it?
It converts project requirements into a structured pipeline that can be checked and run without a person directing every step.

This is harperreed/dotfiles's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dotfiles 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 dotfiles 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

dotfile-from-spec 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 7d 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.

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.
