bestie-features

bestie-features is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JuliaBesties/BestieTemplate.jl. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A setup tool for Julia packages based on BestieTemplate, a template that provides common project files and workflows. It adds selected features without requiring Julia itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add files and setups such as agent instructions, changelogs, Dependabot updates, pre-commit checks, lint workflows, and a test runner.
Why use it?
It avoids manually creating and configuring standard project files while leaving unrelated files untouched.

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 →

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

bestie-features 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 13d 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adding Bestie features to a package

bestie add-feature applies a named slice of the BestieTemplate copier template to an existing package: only the feature's files are written, everything else is left untouched. Requires only uv on the PATH.

bestie in the commands below stands for this full invocation:

uvx --from bestie-template bestie

(The --from is needed because the package is bestie-template and its command is bestie.) Inline the full invocation in every command — do not rely on a shell alias or variable, which won't survive when each command runs in a fresh shell.

Workflow

  1. Discover what can be added:

    bestie list-features --json
    

    Each entry has name, description, required_fields (answers you must be able to supply), requires_answers (needs an existing .copier-answers.yml), and optionally optional_files (extra config files written only if missing, keyed by the boolean answer that enables them). Feature names are exact (e.g. the testitem runner is testitem_cli, not testitem); if you pass a name that doesn't exist, the error lists every valid name.

  2. Check the working tree before applying. A feature overwrites its included_files without warning, no conflict prompt and no backup — testitem_cli replaces an existing test/runtests.jl outright, discarding whatever was there. optional_files are the opposite: written only if missing, so an existing one (e.g. a hand-tuned .lychee.toml) is left untouched. Git is the only recovery path for included_files, so run git status first:

    • Uncommitted changes to any of the feature's included_files: stop and tell the user those changes will be lost. Let them commit or stash before you continue.
    • A file the feature owns exists and is committed: say so and what will replace it, and get the user's go-ahead before applying.
    • Not a git repository: do not apply. There is no way to undo it.
