torchcell: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/monitor-tcdb-build/SKILL.md

monitor-tcdb-build is a skill for Claude Code from Mjvolk3/torchcell. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,433 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A status and troubleshooting helper for tcdb Neo4j/BioCypher knowledge-graph builds running on GilaHyper. A knowledge graph is a database of connected facts, and Slurm is a system for running computing jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor a build job, diagnose stalls or failures, restart it, and determine when the database can be queried.
Why use it?
It brings together job output, experiment tracking, and the served database to show whether a build is progressing, stalled, or failed.

This is Mjvolk3/torchcell's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on torchcell 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 torchcell configures →

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 C, and why

monitor-tcdb-build scanned grade C with 2 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

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.

monitor-tcdb-build is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mjvolk3/torchcell (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), with no licence file. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 2,433 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
