lld-docs is a skill for Claude Code from infraspecdev/tesseract. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,871 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating or updating low-level design documents that describe how a backend or infrastructure component should be built.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft a new design or merge changes into an existing design while preserving unaffected sections.
Why use it?
It keeps technical decisions, component details, and change history in a consistent structure.

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

lld-docs 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 1mo 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 — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

lld-docs

Author component-scoped Low-Level Design documents in one of two operational modes:

  • draft — net-new component. Emit a fresh template (backend or infra per the resolved type), populate sections from the available context (PRD, research, TRD, repo evidence), and atomic-write to the target path.
  • merge — enhancement of an existing canonical LLD. The caller has already copied docs/lld/<component>.md into the target draft path; this skill identifies which sections the current work affects, edits those sections in the draft, and leaves untouched sections verbatim.

Both modes preserve all 14 sections in canonical order (per shield/schema/lld-sections-<type>.yaml) and emit explicit {#kebab-case} anchors. The shared header metadata block precedes §1; the §14 Changelog row is the only mandatory addition on merge runs.

Template selection

type argument Slug allow-list Section template
backend shield/schema/lld-sections-backend.yaml lld-template-backend.md
infra shield/schema/lld-sections-infra.yaml lld-template-infra.md

type is required. It's resolved by the caller (the /lld command or /plan) before invoking this skill.

Output paths

Caller Target path
/lld <component> (Path A) docs/lld/<component>.md (canonical, direct)
/plan TRD-driven (Path B, M2 plan) docs/shield/<feature>/lld-<component>.md (draft)

This skill does NOT promote drafts to the canonical path — that's /implement's job at milestone close (M2 plan, step 5h).

Atomic write contract

  1. Compute the target path.
  2. Write content to <target>.tmp.
  3. Atomic-rename <target>.tmp → <target> via os.replace() (Python) or mv (shell).
  4. On any failure between steps 2 and 3 (write error, signal interrupt), remove <target>.tmp and surface the error. Never leave a partial <target> behind.
  5. Before the write, apply shield:writing-style to author-written prose sections (overview, rationale, narrative). Do NOT alter the provenance stamp, the §14 Changelog rows, header metadata, code blocks, or n/a — <reason> escapes.

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.

lld-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository infraspecdev/tesseract (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 1,871 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
