tiller-ai: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/cookbook/SKILL.md

cookbook is a skill for Claude Code from hmSchuller/tiller-ai. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,535 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for exploring a software project and documenting recommended ways to use each technology it contains.

In plain words
What is it for?
Identifying languages, frameworks, libraries, tools, configuration, and runtime dependencies, then recording guidance in Markdown.
Why use it?
It gives developers one place to find project-specific practices instead of searching through scattered documentation.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is hmSchuller/tiller-ai's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on tiller-ai 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 tiller-ai configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is | TypeScript | [typescript/](./typescript/) | … |.

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

cookbook 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 2mo 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.

/cookbook — Build a best-practices cookbook for this project

Step 1: Orient

Read .tiller/tiller.json (and .tiller/local.json if it exists) to understand the current state. If codebase-map.md exists, read it to get a structural overview.

State the current mode: "Mode: ".

If mode is simple: Do not narrate the orient step. If mode is detailed: Summarize the project stack in 2-3 sentences.

Step 2: Detect technologies

Use the Explore agent (subagent_type: "Explore", thoroughness: "very thorough") to scan the project and identify every technology, language, framework, library, and tool that is meaningfully present. The agent should:

  • Inspect package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod, Gemfile, pom.xml, build.gradle, and similar manifest files.
  • Look at file extensions present in src/, lib/, app/, and similar source directories.
  • Check config files: tsconfig.json, .eslintrc, vitest.config.*, jest.config.*, babel.config.*, webpack.config.*, vite.config.*, tailwind.config.*, Dockerfile, docker-compose.*, CI workflow files in .github/workflows/ etc.
  • Note runtime/platform dependencies (Node.js, Python, JVM, Rust, Go, etc.).

Wait for the Explore agent to complete. Compile the results into a deduplicated list of technologies, for example:

Detected technologies:
1. TypeScript
2. Node.js
3. React
4. Vitest
5. tsup
6. Commander.js
…

Show this list to the user.

Step 3: Check for existing guidelines

For each detected technology, search the codebase for existing coding or implementation guidelines:

  • Look inside docs/, documentation/, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .tiller/TILLER.md, and any *.md files at the root or in common documentation paths.
  • Search for technology-specific config comments, inline ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), or style notes.

Build a table:

Technology Existing guideline found? Source file(s)
TypeScript Yes / No / Partial tsconfig.json, …

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.
