shell-aliases

shell-aliases is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rtwsvj/skill-switch. It costs 27 tokens per session (109 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for suggesting shell aliases, which are short commands that stand in for longer command-line commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone wants to streamline their command line with aliases such as shortcuts for Git or file listings.
Why use it?
It helps reduce repetitive typing while making clear that the user must add the aliases themselves.

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

shell-aliases 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 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.

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

Shell Aliases

Add aliases like these to your ~/.zshrc, then open a new shell:

alias gs="git status"
alias gl="git log --oneline"
alias ll="ls -la"

This skill only suggests aliases for you to add yourself; it never modifies your startup files or agent configuration on its own.

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.
