zig-best-practices

zig-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NeverSight/learn-skills.dev. It costs 38 tokens per session (3,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

Guidance for writing Zig code using its type system, error handling, compile-time checks, and manual memory management. Zig is a compiled programming language designed for low-level and systems software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reading or writing Zig files, especially when working with tagged unions, error sets, compile-time validation, or memory management.
Why use it?
It helps developers make invalid states and memory-related mistakes easier to catch while keeping control over how programs use memory.

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

zig-best-practices scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What ships with it

11 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.
