Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; built for gstack.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

check-name scanned grade B 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check Name Availability

Run an aggregated availability sweep on a candidate company name across three sources and produce a single markdown report. The report drives a real filing decision — accuracy over speed.

When to invoke

The user asks any of:

  • "Is <name> available?"
  • "Can I file <name> as an LLC?"
  • "Check trademark on <name>"
  • "Is <name>.com taken?"
  • "Run availability checks on <name>"
  • "Clear <name> for me"

Arguments

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

  • Candidate name (positional, required) — the bare candidate. Can be one or more words. Quote if it contains spaces.
  • --systems <csv> (optional) — subset of uspto,wa-sos,domain. Default: all three.
  • --class <csv> (optional) — USPTO class filter, e.g. 35,42. Default: pick from business context (see below).
  • --json (optional) — emit machine-readable JSON instead of markdown.
  • --refresh (optional) — bypass cache.

If the candidate name is missing or ambiguous, ask the user before invoking.

Picking USPTO classes (do this before running)

The user usually doesn't know Nice Classification — pick the classes for them, announce, run.

Procedure:

  1. If --class was explicitly provided, use it verbatim. No question.
  2. Otherwise, infer the business archetype. Check the recent conversation for cues:
    • "fractional CTO firm", "tech consulting", "advisory" → IT consulting archetype
    • "SaaS", "platform", "app" → SaaS archetype
    • "store", "DTC", "brand" → e-commerce archetype
    • "restaurant", "café", "bar" → food service archetype
    • "coaching", "training", "course" → education archetype
    • (etc.)
  3. Look up the matching class set in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/playbooks/uspto-nice-classes.md (the "Business archetype → class map" table is the lookup).
  4. Announce the choice in ONE LINE before running. Example:

    Searching USPTO classes 35 (business consulting) and 42 (IT consulting) — standard for a fractional CTO firm. Override with /check-name <name> --class X,Y if you want different scope.

  5. If you can't infer the archetype from context AND the user hasn't told you, ask ONCE with AskUserQuestion. The options should be drawn from the archetype map. Don't dump the full 45-class taxonomy — give 4 archetypes max plus "Other (describe)".
  6. Run with the picked --class.

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.
