Arkana: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/arkana-tutor/SKILL.md

arkana-tutor is a skill for Claude Code from JameZUK/Arkana. It costs 35 tokens per session (111 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An alias for an interactive reverse-engineering tutor. Reverse engineering means studying software to understand how it works, often without its source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want tutoring, mentoring, coaching, training, or a course about reverse engineering.
Why use it?
It gives developers a named entry point for learning and coaching instead of requiring them to know the underlying skill’s name.

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

arkana-tutor 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.

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.
