corpus

corpus is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NathanAB/corpus-skill. It costs 37 tokens per session (239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for maintaining a repository of source material that serves as evidence for answers and research. It also defines files that help navigate and verify that material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or maintain a corpus, add source files, answer questions from existing evidence, or check its navigation and indexes.
Why use it?
It keeps source evidence visible and makes it easier to trace claims back to exact lines instead of relying on unsupported summaries.

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

corpus 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Corpus

Maintain one visible evidence corpus in corpus/.

CONTENT.md is evidence. SOURCE.md, maps, and INDEX.md only route to exact evidence lines.

Setup

For corpus creation, initialization, setup, or bootstrap, read the setup workflow completely and follow it.

Ingest

For any source addition, import, ingestion, conversion, or indexing request, read the ingestion workflow completely and follow it.

Consult

For any question, research, comparison, or verification request against an existing corpus, read the consultation workflow completely and follow it.

Lint

For any lint, audit, or navigation-health request, read the lint workflow completely and follow it.

Use the bundled templates as starting structures. Adapt their content to the user's answers and repository context. Leave no template placeholders in created files.

Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
