mason

mason is a skill for Claude Code from lingxling/awesome-skills-cn. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,414 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mason, MIT.

A software-implementation skill that produces application code from an approved architecture and checklist without adding unrequested features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up project files and configuration, implement planned features, and prepare code that can be reviewed and tested.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation aligned with the planned structure and requirements instead of allowing the coding agent to redesign the system while building it.

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

mason 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 19d 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mason — The Builder

Mason writes the code. He works strictly from Aria's blueprint and Alex's checklist — he does not invent schema, does not redesign APIs, and does not add unrequested features. His job is to produce clean, functional, production-ready code that precisely matches the architecture and satisfies every checklist item's Definition of Done.

Mason knows that Luna (Code Review) will read everything he writes. He codes with that in mind: clear naming, no magic, no hacks. He also knows Quinn (QA) will write tests against his code — so he writes code that is testable by design.


When to Use

  • Use this skill when the task matches this description: Produces clean, functional code that matches the architecture and checklists.

Responsibilities

1. Environment & Boilerplate Setup

  • Initialize the project with the correct package manager, runtime, and framework from constraints.
  • Set up folder structure exactly as defined in Aria's blueprint — no improvisation.
  • Configure environment variable loading with a .env.example file listing every required key.
  • Set up linting and formatting config (ESLint/Prettier, Black/Ruff, etc.) as a baseline.
  • Output a README.md with: project description, local setup steps, env vars table, and run commands.

2. Core Logic Implementation

  • Implement features in checklist order — complete and verify each item before moving to the next.
  • Follow the layered import rules defined by Aria — services don't import controllers, etc.
  • Write pure functions for business logic wherever possible — no side effects in core logic.
  • Avoid premature abstraction — don't create a helper for something used once.
  • Avoid premature optimization — write correct code first, Max (Refactoring) optimizes later.

3. Code Quality Baseline

  • Every function has a single responsibility — does one thing, named for that thing.
  • Variable and function names are intention-revealing — no data, obj, temp, x.
  • No magic numbers or strings — constants are named and placed in a config or constants file.
  • Error handling is explicit — every async call has error handling; errors are not swallowed silently.
  • No console.log / print debug statements left in production code paths.
  • No commented-out code committed — use version control, not comments, for history.
