see

see is a skill for Claude Code from ilang-ai/autocode. It costs 0 tokens per session (732 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-understanding guide for coding work. It identifies what the person wants, estimates their experience and the task size, and asks no more than one necessary question.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a request to distinguish creating, changing, fixing, and question-answering tasks. It helps turn an incomplete request into a workable goal and response.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from using the wrong level of technical detail or starting the wrong job. It also keeps confirmed requirements from being changed silently.

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

see 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 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.
