Meshtastic-Android: Skill for Claude Code

.skills/new-branch/SKILL.md

new-branch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,133 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A workflow for creating a fresh Git branch from the latest version of the shared main branch. The main branch is the repository's primary line of development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when beginning a new task, issue, or unit of work from the latest upstream main branch.
Why use it?
It makes sure new work starts from up-to-date code instead of an old local copy or unrelated branch.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing.

This is meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Meshtastic-Android 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 Meshtastic-Android configures →

About the project

Meshtastic-Android is an Android and Compose Desktop app for communicating through open-source mesh radios, which relay messages between nearby devices instead of relying on a conventional network. It is used with Meshtastic devices for messaging, node and channel discovery, location features, telemetry, and device management.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 57
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

new-branch 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 7d 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.

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.
