Seshat-BI: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/capabilities/SKILL.md

capabilities is a skill for Claude Code from Kemetra/Seshat-BI. It costs 48 tokens per session (583 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only inventory of the kit's available capabilities, including their lifecycle state, authority, requirements, and source. It reports what the system can do based on committed metadata.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the kit's capabilities in a human-readable view or stable JSON format, including what works without a database.
Why use it?
It gives a reliable capability list without changing files, assigning a score, or assuming that an existing file proves a feature works.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is Kemetra/Seshat-BI's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Seshat-BI itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Seshat-BI configures →

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

capabilities 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 7d 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

capabilities

The read-only capability inventory: one truthful, categorical read of everything Seshat BI can do, derived from committed, reviewable metadata (never from a file's mere existence).

What it does

Reads the committed capability manifest (docs/capabilities/capabilities.yaml) and reconciles it against the feeders that already own each fact -- the _DISPATCH command table, .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md frontmatter, .seshat/kit-source.yaml verbs, docs/roadmap/roadmap.md F-numbered ship status, and docs/quality/status-claims.yaml -- then renders:

  • a grouped human-readable read (the default), or
  • a stable, deterministic JSON machine form (--format json).

How to invoke it

Run the module directly from the repo root:

python -m seshat.capability_inventory
python -m seshat.capability_inventory --format json

There is no retail capabilities / seshat capabilities CLI verb -- this is a deliberate, ratified choice (docs/roadmap/decisions/cli-verbs-vs-skill-driven.md, Option B). Do not add one; do not touch src/seshat/cli/parser.py or _DISPATCH to "wire this up". Simply run the module command above and relay its output.

What it is NOT

  • Not a gate. It adds no seshat check rule; its presence/absence never blocks anything.
  • Not a readiness surface. It reads no readiness-status.yaml, moves no stage, grants no approval. For per-table readiness use seshat status; for the next allowed action use seshat next; for repo drift use seshat doctor; for the governance gate use seshat check.
  • Not a scoring surface. No maturity/confidence/completeness/health value is ever emitted, and nothing is ranked by a computed number.
  • Not a writer. It writes nothing, connects to no database, runs no Power BI.

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.

capabilities is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kemetra/Seshat-BI (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 583 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 2026-08-31.
