w3c-technical-reports

w3c-technical-reports is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Neeeophytee/agent-stylebooks. It costs 67 tokens per session (839 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and reviewing specification-style technical reports based on W3C editorial guidance. W3C is the standards organization behind many web technologies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for protocols, standards, interoperability documents, and technical specifications that need clear requirements, defined terms, processing steps, errors, and implementation scope.
Why use it?
It keeps approved requirements precise without inventing policy, agreement, or compliance rules. It also makes unresolved decisions and contradictions visible instead of silently choosing an answer.

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

w3c-technical-reports 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 10d 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.

W3C technical reports

Turn an approved technical design into a precise specification. Improve expression and structure without creating policy, consensus, conformance criteria, or requirements.

Establish authority and scope

  • Identify the source of approved requirements and the decision body that owns them.
  • Preserve requirement strength, actors, conditions, exceptions, algorithms, data types, error behavior, and compatibility constraints.
  • Do not infer a normative requirement from an example, implementation, issue discussion, preference, or common practice.
  • Mark unresolved decisions and contradictions as issues. Do not silently choose a behavior.
  • State the document's scope, out-of-scope concerns, maturity, and intended implementations.

Build the conceptual model

  1. Identify each conformance class, implementation role, data model, and external dependency.
  2. Define a term before using it to carry a requirement. Use one stable term per concept.
  3. State how terms relate when they can be confused or overlap.
  4. Present the processing model in an order that exposes inputs, state changes, outputs, and errors.
  5. Keep implementation-specific behavior out unless the scope intentionally requires it.

Write normative requirements

  • Give each requirement an identifiable actor and one testable obligation.
  • Put conditions and scope next to the behavior they constrain.
  • State exceptions explicitly and identify which rule they override.
  • Describe observable outcomes without prescribing an implementation method unless the method is itself required for interoperability or safety.
  • Keep conformance requirements in normative prose. Label examples, notes, rationale, and implementation advice as informative.
  • Do not place a requirement only in a figure, table, example, or note.

Use RFC 2119 and RFC 8174 key words only when the governing document deliberately adopts their definitions. In that case, only the uppercase forms carry the defined meanings. Do not upgrade ordinary advice to MUST, SHOULD, or MAY; preserve the strength approved by the specification owners. Explain a deviation from a SHOULD requirement when the source calls for it.

What ships with it

3 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.
