nasa-se-expanded

nasa-se-expanded is a skill for Claude Code from jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-se-knowledge-packs. It costs 278 tokens per session (4,707 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A reference knowledge base based on NASA's detailed guidance for systems engineering, published in 2016. It explains the practical mechanics of the Systems Engineering Engine, including work by phase and the difference between iterative and recursive work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand or apply NASA systems-engineering practices, phase-by-phase work, and iterative or recursive planning.
Why use it?
It gives agents deeper implementation guidance when the shorter NASA handbook does not cover the engineering process in enough detail.

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

nasa-se-expanded 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 2mo 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
