Kiln: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/claude-maintain-models/SKILL.md

claude-maintain-models is a skill for Claude Code from Kiln-AI/Kiln. It costs 110 tokens per session (12,377 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A procedure for adding and registering new large language models in Kiln's model list. Large language models are AI systems that work with text and generate responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding models such as Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, or Grok to Kiln's model list.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for updating the model registry and preparing an announcement instead of handling those tasks ad hoc.

This is Kiln-AI/Kiln's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Kiln 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 Kiln configures →

    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

claude-maintain-models scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

The source is not reproduced here

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.

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.
