What is Global Commenting?

A set of guidelines for writing comments and code that explain themselves. Comments are kept short and reserved for lasting explanations of larger or less obvious logic.

Use it when adding or reviewing code that needs explanation. It helps decide when a comment is useful and what kind of information it should contain.

It prevents code from becoming cluttered with comments about temporary fixes or recent changes. Clear names and structure make the code easier to understand later.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00025	$0.00134
Opus 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00054
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00027
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00013

Security

Grade A, and why

Global Commenting 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.

What it actually says

Global Commenting

This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how it should handle global commenting.

Instructions

Self-Documenting Code: Write code that explains itself through clear structure and naming
Minimal, helpful comments: Add concise, minimal comments to explain large sections of code logic.
Don't comment changes or fixes: Do not leave code comments that speak to recent or temporary changes or fixes. Comments should be evergreen informational texts that are relevant far into the future.

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.
