openstatus: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/codebase-design/SKILL.md

codebase-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from openstatusHQ/openstatus. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A set of design concepts for structuring software modules. A module is a part of a program with a defined interface, and a deep module hides complex internal work behind a simpler interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or improving a module, deciding where responsibilities meet, or looking for ways to simplify an interface without losing capability.
Why use it?
It helps make decisions about module boundaries, interfaces, and seams more consistent. It can also make code easier to test and easier for coding agents to navigate.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is openstatusHQ/openstatus's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on openstatus itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything openstatus configures →

About the project

openstatus is an open-source platform that combines public status pages with uptime and API monitoring. Teams use it to check websites, servers, and APIs, notify people about incidents, and manage monitoring through a dashboard, command line, or infrastructure code. The catalogue entries provide instructions, skills, and a command for working with the platform.

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

codebase-design 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 24d 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.

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.
