A read-only checker for your Claude Code setup, the configuration used by a coding tool. It reports a score across three groups of checks.

It checks project instructions, permissions, memory, connected services, plugins, Git, hooks, and keyboard shortcuts.

It shows what is configured and what is missing without changing your files.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00031	$0.01135
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.00567
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00227
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00113

Measured 5d ago against content hash 828fc010377e, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-06, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

boost-check scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Boost Check — Configuration Diagnostic

Run a read-only diagnostic of the user's Claude Code setup. Report findings without making changes.

Instructions

When this skill is invoked, perform ALL diagnostic checks below, then display the results.

If the user passes an argument (e.g., /boost-check 2), only diagnose that level. Otherwise diagnose all levels.

Step 1: Run Diagnostics

Check each item below. For each, record status as CONFIGURED or MISSING.

Level 1 — Essentials

1.1 CLAUDE.md

Check: Does CLAUDE.md exist in the current project root?
How: Use Glob to find CLAUDE.md in the working directory
CONFIGURED if: File exists AND has more than 5 lines
MISSING if: File does not exist or has 5 or fewer lines
Also check: Does it contain a "Model routing" or "model" section? If CLAUDE.md exists but has no model routing → flag as "CLAUDE.md exists but missing model routing"

1.2 settings.json

Check: Read ~/.claude/settings.json
CONFIGURED if: File exists AND has a permissions object with at least one allow entry
MISSING if: File doesn't exist, or permissions is empty, or all entries are deny/empty

1.3 Memory System

Check: Does the project's memory directory have a MEMORY.md?
How: Read ~/.claude/projects/ — find the subdirectory matching the current project path, then check for MEMORY.md
CONFIGURED if: MEMORY.md exists and has at least one entry
MISSING if: No MEMORY.md or empty

Level 2 — Power Features

2.1 CLAUDE.md Advanced

Check: Does CLAUDE.md contain sections for context management or workflow modes?
How: Read CLAUDE.md, search for keywords: "compact", "context management", "mode", "workflow", "debug", "routing"
CONFIGURED if: At least 2 of these keywords found in distinct sections
MISSING if: Fewer than 2 found

2.2 MCP Servers

Check: Read ~/.claude/mcp.json and project .mcp.json
CONFIGURED if: At least one MCP server is defined in either file
MISSING if: Neither file exists or both are empty

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.

boost-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository ridges0315/claude-boost (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,135 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
