wave: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/wave/SKILL.md

wave is a skill for Claude Code from re-cinq/wave. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,032 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Go-based tool for running multi-step AI workflows, with each step handled in an isolated workspace by a defined persona and connected through shared outputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure AI agents, write pipelines, manage their workspaces and permissions, pass artifacts between steps, and run workflows from the command line.
Why use it?
It organizes complex agent work into controlled steps with permissions, time limits, and checks that each step produces what the next one needs.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is re-cinq/wave's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on wave 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 wave configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is go run ./cmd/wave run hello-world "test".

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to re-cinq/wave. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

wave 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 2mo 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.
