mk:chom

mk:chom is a skill for Claude Code from ngocsangyem/MeowKit. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,433 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A workflow for studying an external system, code repository, app, or idea so its features can be reproduced or adapted in another project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare systems, clone a feature, port an implementation, or create a specification for copying or improving an external idea.
Why use it?
It turns copying into a considered process by examining how the original works and identifying what must change for the current technology stack.

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

mk:chom scanned grade C 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 2d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Chom — Copy-Cat, Replicate & Adapt

Analyze external systems, repos, apps, or ideas and produce a spec for replicating them in your project.

Principles: understand before copy | challenge before plan | adapt to YOUR stack

Usage

/mk:chom <github-url|web-url|local-path|description> [feature] [--compare|--copy|--improve|--port] [--lean|--auto]

Modes (all user-explicit — chom does NOT auto-derive adaptation depth):

  • --compare: side-by-side analysis only (phases 1–3), no decision or handoff
  • --copy: user intent = transplant with minimal changes; biases Phase 3 toward compatibility gaps
  • --improve: user intent = adapt anti-patterns during port; biases Phase 3 toward anti-pattern detection
  • --port: user intent = rewrite idiomatically for local stack; biases Phase 3 toward idiom translation
  • no flag: full 6-phase workflow, emits Replication Spec without declaring adaptation depth

Speed flags (default OFF):

  • --lean: skip Phase 1 researcher-agent background gathering. HARD GATE still enforced.
  • --auto: auto-approve non-HARD-GATE steps. HARD GATE still requires human approval.

Migration (v1 → v2): --analyze (v1 default) now aliases the no-flag default and emits a deprecation notice. Removed in v1.2.

Intent Detection (keyword → suggested mode)

If the user provides natural-language mode hints, map them to an explicit flag:

User says Suggested flag
"compare", "vs", "how does X do Y" --compare
"copy", "1:1", "exact", "as-is" --copy
"adapt", "improve", "like how X does it" --improve
"port", "rewrite", "convert", "steal", "bring from" --port

If no hint and no flag, run no-flag default (full workflow, no mode declaration in handoff).

Input Routing

Detect input type FIRST, then route:

Input Detection Tool
Git URL (github.com/*, gitlab.com/*) URL contains git host git clone --depth 1mk:scout
Web URL (https://...) URL, not git host mk:web-to-markdown (static) or mk:agent-browser (SPA)
Local path (./, ../, /) Starts with . or / Direct Read/Glob
Freeform text No URL or path researcher agent via Task() (WebSearch)
Image/screenshot Image file extension mk:multimodal (Gemini vision)

What ships with it

1 file 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.

mk:chom is a skill published in the GitHub repository ngocsangyem/MeowKit (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 2,433 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
