wizard: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/wizard-development/SKILL.md

wizard-development is a skill for Claude Code from PostHog/wizard. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,874 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the design principles behind the PostHog setup wizard. It explains how the wizard separates shared machinery from product-specific configuration when its architecture is extended.

In plain words
What is it for?
Read it before adding features, changing the runner or terminal interface, or introducing new abstractions in the wizard. Use it to evaluate whether a proposed extension fits the existing architecture.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose where a new feature or abstraction belongs and keeps changes small and understandable. It also reduces the chance of putting product knowledge into shared infrastructure.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00045 $0.01874
Opus 5.5 $0.00018 $0.00750
Sonnet 5.5 $0.00009 $0.00375
Haiku 4.5 $0.00005 $0.00187

Security

Grade A, and why

wizard-development 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 14d 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.

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.
