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

moo-authoring 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 2d 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Doctrine for authoring moo's own surfaces.

Frontmatter

A skill's frontmatter carries name and description; read any shipped SKILL.md for the current key set. The description is one line, and Claude Code caps it at 1024 characters.

No when_to_use. Claude Code reads that key and renders it dash-joined onto the description, but every other agent copies SKILL.md verbatim and never reads it, so the text deciding when a skill fires would be invisible wherever it is installed outside Claude Code.

A condition that follows what the skill does is marked Use when <condition>. — a finite clause, never a bare noun phrase or a bare dash. The key name was what marked the condition as a condition; in one string nothing else does, and an unmarked trailing clause reads as more of what the skill produces. A description may also open with the condition and stop there, where naming the capability would discriminate nothing.

A skill that stays in this repo declares metadata.internal: true. The skills.sh installer walks the tree and offers every SKILL.md it finds; that flag is what it filters on.

Version lives in plugin.json only (DRY). The official Claude Code spec does not allow version in SKILL.md frontmatter.

Sizing

  • Size a skill by a deletion pass, never a numeric cap.
  • Put branch-specific content in files the skill opens when the branch is taken, and name them where they are needed.
  • Decision tables > prose explanations.

Token Efficiency

  • Challenge every sentence: "Does Claude need this?"
  • Bullets for enumerable items; a paragraph when the point is one connected argument.
  • No vague terminology; pick one term per concept.

Skill Design

Phrase design decisions as "X over Y: reason".

Unit choice — behavior inlines at build, data references at runtime; a skill's firing is probabilistic, so behavior that must run every time is a hook:

The new thing is... Unit
Data selected per use (catalog, profile, corpus) Runtime file
A trigger + procedure that stands alone Skill
A trigger only the human perceives Skill with disable-model-invocation: true
Behavior that must run every time, deterministically Hook
An unproven idea hunch skill + HYPOTHESIS.md; graduates or dies
Doctrine for this repo's own surfaces Repo-local skill in .claude/skills/; never ships

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.
