Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 50 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00034 | $0.00857 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
claude-md-updater 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 12d 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 — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md auto-updater
Analyze the current conversation to identify information worth persisting in CLAUDE.md for future sessions, then propose the edits for approval before writing anything.
What to look for
1. Hard-won lessons
- Debugging sessions that revealed non-obvious causes
- Workarounds for platform or tool limitations
- Anti-patterns discovered through failure
- "The real problem was..." moments
2. New infrastructure
- New services deployed
- New endpoints or URLs
- New file paths or directories
- New credentials or tokens (reference only, never the values)
3. New workflows
- Commands that solve recurring problems
- Multi-step processes that work well
- Integration patterns between systems
4. Updated information
- Changed ports, IPs, or URLs
- New capabilities added to existing systems
- Deprecated or removed features
Analysis process
-
Scan the conversation for keywords:
- "fixed", "solved", "the issue was", "turns out"
- "deployed", "set up", "configured", "installed"
- "new endpoint", "new service", "new path"
- "doesn't work", "limitation", "workaround"
-
Categorize findings. Only durable facts belong in CLAUDE.md:
- Hard-won lessons go to the "Hard-won lessons" section
- Infrastructure changes update the relevant section
- New workflows go to the appropriate section
- Transient, session-specific notes do not go in CLAUDE.md (see "What not to persist")
-
Build the exact diff. Produce a unified diff against the current CLAUDE.md showing the precise lines and sections to be added or changed. This diff is what the user approves, not a summary of it.
-
Present the diff for approval and write nothing until the user approves.
Output format
Show the exact patch first, then a short summary grouped by category:
## Proposed CLAUDE.md updates

Summary of the diff above:
- Hard-won lessons: [one line, if any]
- Infrastructure updates: [one line, if any]
- New workflows: [one line, if any]
Apply this diff? Nothing is written until you approve.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

claude-md-updater is a skill published in the GitHub repository jamditis/claude-skills-journalism (391 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 857 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
