confidential

confidential is a skill for Claude Code from queelius/claude-anvil. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,467 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for encrypting and decrypting confidential content, creating signatures, and managing protected files. It routes Hugo Markdown to cryptoid, browser-viewable HTML or assets to pagevault, and other files to GPG.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to protect Hugo pages, HTML output, PDFs, images, and other files, or to create and verify GPG signatures.
Why use it?
It helps prevent using the wrong encryption tool for a particular kind of content, especially on Hugo sites where Markdown and assets follow different paths.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

confidential 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Confidentiality Toolkit

Smart routing across three complementary encryption tools. Pick the right tool based on what needs protecting, apply it, and optionally sign the result.

Tool Selection

Signal Tool Why
Hugo site, markdown content, _index.md cascade, .cryptoid.yaml cryptoid Multi-user/group whole-page encryption integrated with Hugo build
HTML files, static site output, arbitrary files for web delivery, <pagevault> tags pagevault Section-level or whole-file encryption, self-contained HTML output with viewers
Offline encryption, signing, key exchange, .gpg files, asymmetric crypto gpg Standard file encryption, detached signatures, public key infrastructure

Decision Tree

Is the target Hugo MARKDOWN content (files under content/)?
  YES -> cryptoid
  NO  -> Is this HTML, built site output, assets (PDFs, images), or files
         meant for browser viewing?
    YES -> pagevault
    NO  -> gpg

Note the Hugo carve-out: cryptoid encrypts markdown content only. Hugo assets (PDFs, images in static/) and built HTML output go to pagevault, even on a Hugo site.

Override: the user may explicitly name a tool regardless of context. Honor that.

Compound Workflows

Some tasks require multiple tools in sequence:

  • Encrypt and sign: Encrypt with cryptoid or pagevault first, then gpg --detach-sign the output
  • Verify then decrypt: gpg --verify the signature, then pagevault unlock or cryptoid decrypt
  • Web delivery + archival: pagevault lock for browser access, gpg -e the original for offline backup

cryptoid — Hugo Site Encryption

Encrypts whole markdown pages for Hugo static sites. Multi-user access control with group-based permissions and directory cascade via _index.md.

Key concepts: .cryptoid.yaml config (users/groups/salt), encrypted: true front matter, cascade from _index.md, admin group gets universal access, _index.md bodies are encrypted (front matter stays readable).

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.
