Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Zero-Knowledge Proofs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (270 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to zero-knowledge proofs and circuits for blockchain applications. These proofs allow a person to show that a statement is true without revealing the secret information behind it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create arithmetic circuits, work with zk-SNARK systems such as Groth16 or Plonk, and connect proof generation to smart-contract verification.
Why use it?
It explains the building blocks needed for privacy-preserving transactions and proof verification. This can make unfamiliar ZK designs easier to plan and implement.

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

Zero-Knowledge Proofs 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 8d 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 it actually says

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

ZK Circuits (Circom)

Create arithmetic circuits to prove knowledge of a pre-image without revealing it.

pragma circom 2.0.0;
include "node_modules/circomlib/circuits/poseidon.circom";

template SecretHasher() {
    signal input secret;
    signal output hash;

    component poseidon = Poseidon(1);
    poseidon.inputs[0] <== secret;
    hash <== poseidon.out;
}

component main = SecretHasher();

zk-SNARKs

Use Groth16 or Plonk for succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge. Ensure trusted setup (PTAU) for Groth16.

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.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs is a skill published in the GitHub repository j4flmao/agent-skills (23 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 270 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
