mk:pack

mk:pack is a skill for Claude Code from ngocsangyem/MeowKit. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,501 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A tool that packages an external software repository into one AI-friendly Markdown, XML, or JSON file. An external repository is code from another project, such as a library you may want to inspect or adopt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing a library for security review, researching an unfamiliar repository, creating a shareable code snapshot, or extracting an external library’s API surface.
Why use it?
It makes third-party code easier to hand to another AI tool, reviewer, or security auditor in a single snapshot. It is intended for external repositories, not for rereading the current project.

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:pack 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/self-pack-guard.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Pack — External Codebase Snapshot

Pack a repository into a single AI-friendly file for handoff to external tools, humans, or sessions.

When to Use

  • Pasting a third-party library into an external LLM (ChatGPT, Gemini, claude.ai web)
  • Security audit of vendor/library before adoption — one file for review
  • Research / offline reading of an unfamiliar repo
  • Creating a shareable snapshot for code review or issue filing

When NOT to Use

  • Packing the current project to re-read in the same session. mk:scout is the correct tool for inbound analysis — its Explore subagents read files in isolated contexts and return distilled summaries, keeping raw content out of the main agent's context. Packing dumps raw content directly into the caller's context, which is the opposite of what you want for inbound analysis.
  • Replacing /mk:scout for structured codebase exploration. Pack produces a flat dump; scout produces an architectural fingerprint.
  • Adopting external code into your project. Use /mk:chom for replication workflows.

Exception: --compress mode (Tree-sitter signature extraction) is a genuine win for "give me the API surface of library X" queries — it produces a small, signature-only artifact that scout cannot reproduce. See Quick Start example.

Quick Start

/mk:pack yamadashy/repomix
/mk:pack https://github.com/vercel/ai --style markdown
/mk:pack yamadashy/repomix --include "src/**/*.ts" --remove-comments
/mk:pack /path/to/external/repo --style xml
/mk:pack vercel/ai --compress            # API surface only (Tree-sitter)

Output lands at .claude/packs/{YYYYMMDD-HHMM}-{slug}.{ext}.

--compress extracts class/function/interface signatures via Tree-sitter parsing. Use for "what's the API of library X" queries where full-file content would exceed context budgets.

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.

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:pack is a skill published in the GitHub repository ngocsangyem/MeowKit (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,501 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
