extracting-keywords

extracting-keywords is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oaustegard/claude-skills. It costs 75 tokens per session (3,120 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A keyword extractor that finds important terms and phrases in documents using YAKE, a statistical method that does not require a pre-labeled training set. It supports 34 languages and includes optional word lists for technical fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find keywords, key phrases, topics, and terms in documents, including material in languages such as Arabic, English, or Chinese and content from AI or life-science fields.
Why use it?
It helps identify a document’s main topics without manually reading and tagging every term. Domain-specific filtering can reduce common technical words that add little meaning.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/claude/yake-venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yake/core/StopwordsList/stopwords_ls.txt.

Good fit Use it to find keywords, key phrases, topics, and terms in documents, including material in languages such as Arabic, English, or Chinese and content from AI or life-science fields.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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

extracting-keywords 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 392 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Extracting Keywords

Extract keywords from text using YAKE (Yet Another Keyword Extractor), an unsupervised statistical keyword extraction algorithm.

Installation

First time only: Install YAKE with optimized dependencies to avoid unnecessary downloads.

cd /home/claude
uv venv yake-venv --system-site-packages
uv pip install yake --python yake-venv/bin/python --no-deps
uv pip install jellyfish segtok regex --python yake-venv/bin/python

This reuses system packages (numpy, networkx) instead of downloading them (~0.08s vs ~5s).

Stopwords Configuration

Built-in YAKE stopwords (34 languages): Use lan="<code>" parameter

  • See Parameters section below for all 34 supported language codes
  • English (lan="en") is the default

Custom domain stopwords (bundled in assets/):

AI/ML: stopwords_ai.txt

  • English stopwords + 783 AI/ML domain-specific terms (1357 total)
  • Filters AI/ML methodology noise (model, training, network, algorithm, parameter)
  • Filters ML boilerplate (dataset, baseline, benchmark, experiment, evaluation)
  • Filters technical terms (transformer, embedding, attention, optimization, inference)
  • Includes full lemmatization (train/trains/trained/training/trainer)
  • Use for AI/ML papers, technical reports, machine learning literature
  • Performance impact: +4-5% runtime vs English stopwords

Life Sciences: stopwords_ls.txt

  • English stopwords + 719 life sciences domain-specific terms (1293 total)
  • Filters research methodology noise (study, results, analysis, significant, observed)
  • Filters academic boilerplate (paper, manuscript, publication, review, editing)
  • Filters statistical terms (correlation, distribution, deviation, variance)
  • Filters clinical terms (patient, treatment, diagnosis, symptom, therapy)
  • Filters biology/medicine (cell, tissue, protein, gene, organism)
  • Includes full lemmatization (analyze/analyzes/analyzed/analyzing/analysis)
  • Use for biomedical papers, clinical studies, research articles, scientific literature
  • Performance impact: +4-5% runtime vs English stopwords

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.
