clevis: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/andrej-karpathy-perspective/SKILL.md

andrej-karpathy-perspective is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nazarli-shabnam/clevis. It costs 234 tokens per session (8,824 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A Chinese-language guide to thinking and writing about AI and software, distilled from Andrej Karpathy’s public writing, interviews, and posts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when analysing AI reliability, software built with AI, neural-network training, industry trends, product design, or technology hype from Karpathy’s perspective.
Why use it?
It provides a particular engineering-focused perspective for discussing what AI systems can reliably do, where they fail, and how to learn or build with them.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is nazarli-shabnam/clevis's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on clevis 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 clevis 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 A, and why

andrej-karpathy-perspective 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 12d 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 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.
