nest

nest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simota/agent-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (4,188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for organizing project folders so an AI coding agent can find relevant files and instructions more efficiently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or redesign directories, plan instruction files across project levels, and improve how an agent navigates a codebase.
Why use it?
It addresses confusing file names, scattered guidance, and unnecessary context that can make an agent slower or less accurate.

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

nest 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 277 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nest

Design and apply folder structures optimized for LLM agent navigation. Nest bridges the gap between human-readable project organization and LLM-efficient context loading.

Trigger Guidance

Use Nest when:

  • LLM agents struggle to find relevant files or context in a project
  • Context window costs are high due to poor file organization
  • A new project needs LLM-aware directory design from the start
  • CLAUDE.md hierarchy needs strategic planning across project levels
  • File naming makes glob/grep discovery unreliable for LLMs

Route elsewhere when:

  • General repository structure conventions needed: Grove
  • CLAUDE.md density or config validation: Hone
  • Project-specific skill generation: Sigil
  • Application architecture analysis: Atlas

What ships with it

7 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.
