chous

chous is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotnet-skills. It costs 118 tokens per session (1,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line checker for frontend folder structure, file names, and file placement in .NET repositories. It can enforce rules for folders such as ClientApp, src, apps, and packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define and run naming, folder, placement, and frontend-boundary checks locally or in CI.
Why use it?
It catches layout drift before a growing frontend becomes difficult to navigate. It focuses on where files live, not on whether the code inside them works.

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

chous 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 8d 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.

Chous for Frontend File-Structure Linting in .NET Repositories

Trigger On

  • the repo has a growing frontend tree and the user asks about naming conventions, folder structure, or file placement rules
  • the repo wants to enforce layout policy for ClientApp/, src/, apps/, or packages/
  • architectural drift in the frontend file tree is a larger problem than syntax errors

Do Not Use For

  • semantic code bugs, type errors, or framework API misuse
  • CSS, HTML, or JS rule enforcement inside files
  • very small repos where a structure linter would add more ceremony than value

Inputs

  • the nearest AGENTS.md
  • package.json
  • any existing .chous file
  • the frontend tree that needs policy enforcement

Workflow

  1. Define the structure problem first:
    • naming convention drift
    • component placement
    • forbidden folders or files
    • monorepo frontend boundaries
  2. Start from chous init or a known preset, then tighten only the rules the repo can explain.
  3. Keep the checked-in .chous file readable enough that future contributors understand the policy.
  4. Add repeatable commands such as:
    • npx chous
  5. Exclude generated folders, build artifacts, and vendored assets so the signal stays architectural.
  6. Use Chous as a supplement to semantic linters, not as their replacement.
  7. Re-run after moves or refactors to confirm the structure policy still matches the intended design.

Bootstrap When Missing

  1. Detect current state:
    • rg --files -g 'package.json' -g '.chous'
    • rg -n '"chous"' --glob 'package.json' .
  2. Start with the official no-install or global paths:
    • npx chous
    • npm install -g chous
  3. Initialize config when the repo truly wants structure policy:
    • npx chous init
  4. Add a repeatable command to AGENTS.md and package.json, then verify with:
    • npx chous
  5. Return status: configured if the repo now has a checked-in structure-lint baseline, or status: improved if an existing baseline was tightened.
  6. Return status: not_applicable when the repo is too small or too fluid to justify a structure-lint gate right now.

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.
