upgrade-solidity-contracts is a skill for Claude Code from OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (3,083 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A guide for making Solidity smart contracts upgradeable through OpenZeppelin proxy patterns such as UUPS, Transparent, and Beacon proxies. It also covers initializers and storage layout rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create upgradeable contracts, write initializer functions, configure Hardhat or Foundry upgrade plugins, and check storage layout compatibility.
Why use it?
It helps avoid breaking deployed contracts when adding upgrades. It explains how proxy-based upgrades differ from ordinary constructors and how to configure common Solidity project tools.

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

upgrade-solidity-contracts 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 9d 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.

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.
