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

shared 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 3d 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

Shared Skills

Platform-agnostic skills that work across iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms. This category provides foundational tools for extending Claude Code's capabilities.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

  • Wants to create a new Claude Code skill
  • Asks about skill structure or organization
  • Wants to improve or refactor existing skills
  • Needs help with skill modularization
  • Asks about skill best practices or templates

Available Modules

Read relevant module files based on the user's needs:

skill-creator/

Templates and guidance for creating well-structured Claude Code skills.

  • Skill structure and organization patterns
  • YAML front matter configuration
  • Modularization strategies
  • Templates for simple and complex skills
  • Best practices and common pitfalls

How to Use

  1. Identify user's need from their question
  2. Read relevant module files from subdirectories
  3. Apply the guidance to their specific context
  4. Provide examples from existing skills when helpful

Example Workflow

User wants to create a new skill:

  1. Read skill-creator/SKILL.md for the full creation process
  2. Determine skill complexity (simple vs modularized)
  3. Guide through front matter, structure, and content
  4. Reference existing skills as examples
Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
