breadboarding

breadboarding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from koolamusic/claudefiles. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,161 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for mapping a software workflow into tables of user actions, code actions, and the connections between them. An affordance is something a user or program can act on, such as a button or function.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document an existing workflow or design one from a set of solution parts. It produces tables showing what each UI or code element triggers and where the result returns.
Why use it?
It makes a system's moving parts and data flow explicit, which helps reveal missing connections and unclear responsibilities before implementation.

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

breadboarding 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/preview-markdown.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Breadboarding

Breadboarding transforms a workflow description into a complete map of affordances and their relationships. The output is always a set of tables showing numbered UI and Code affordances with their Wires Out and Returns To relationships. The tables are the truth. Mermaid diagrams are optional visualizations for humans.


Use Cases

1. Mapping an Existing System

You have a workflow you're trying to understand. Provide code repo(s) and a workflow description (always from the perspective of an operator trying to make an effect happen). Output: affordance tables + optional Mermaid.

2. Designing from Shaped Parts

You have a new system sketched as an assembly of parts (mechanisms) per shaping. Provide the parts list, the R (requirement/outcome), and optionally the existing system. Output: affordance tables + optional Mermaid.

3. Mixtures

An existing system that must remain as-is, plus new pieces or changes. Breadboard both together — existing affordances and new ones — showing how they connect.


Core Concepts

Places — A bounded context of interaction. The blocking test: can you interact with what's behind? No → different Place. Yes → same Place with local state changes. Places get IDs (P1, P2...) and can contain subplaces (P2.1, P2.2).

Affordances — Things you can act upon. UI affordances (U): inputs, buttons, displays. Code affordances (N): methods, subscriptions, stores, framework mechanisms.

Wiring — How affordances connect. Wires Out = control flow (what triggers what). Returns To = data flow (where output goes). Navigation wires go to Places, not to affordances inside them.


The Output: Affordance Tables

Every breadboard produces these tables:

Places Table

# Place Description
P1 Search Page Main search interface
P2 Detail Page Individual result view

UI Affordances Table

# Place Component Affordance Control Wires Out Returns To
U1 P1 search-detail search input type → N1
U2 P1 search-detail loading spinner render

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

breadboarding is a skill published in the GitHub repository koolamusic/claudefiles (132 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,161 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 2026-08-30.
