claude

claude is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from paladini/locus-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short guide for using Locus, a code-navigation tool, alongside text search in Claude Code. It says to use Locus for definitions, references, type information, diagnostics, and rename previews, while using search for plain text and patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding how to find code symbols, inspect compiler or linter diagnostics, preview renames, or register the Locus server.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right way to inspect code and notes that the current Claude Code skill is only a stub.

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

claude 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 7d 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 it actually says

Claude Code Skill (stub)

Guidance for when to use Locus vs Grep.

When to use Locus

  • Finding definitions, references, implementations
  • Type information and hover docs
  • Compiler/linter diagnostics after edits
  • Symbol rename preview

When to use Grep

  • Free-text search across codebase
  • Comments, strings, config values
  • Regex patterns

MCP registration

Add to Claude Code settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "locus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@paladini/locus-mcp", "serve"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/project"
    }
  }
}

Status

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.

claude is a skill published in the GitHub repository paladini/locus-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 169 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
