rb:compound

rb:compound is a skill for Claude Code from slbug/claude-ruby-grape-rails. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Ruby and Rails knowledge-capture tool for recording how a difficult problem was solved in a reusable YAML document.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for documenting complex, multi-file problems, their causes, solutions, and reusable patterns.
Why use it?
It preserves debugging lessons and proven fixes so future work can reuse them instead of starting from scratch.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

rb:compound 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 1mo 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.

Compound Knowledge

Capture a solved problem as reusable knowledge. This creates a knowledge base that helps future sessions solve similar problems faster.

What to Compound

Compound problems that:

  • Took significant time to solve (> 30 minutes)
  • Involved multiple files or systems
  • Required debugging or root cause analysis
  • Have reusable patterns or lessons
  • Others might encounter

Don't compound:

  • Trivial syntax errors
  • One-line fixes
  • Problems specific to unique project state
  • Already well-documented issues

Document Structure

Solution documents use YAML frontmatter defined in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/schema.md and follow the template in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/resolution-template.md.

Required Frontmatter Fields

  • module: Ruby module or context area (e.g., "Accounts", "Hotwire/Turbo.UserList")
  • date: Creation date in YYYY-MM-DD format
  • problem_type: Category of problem (build_error, test_failure, runtime_error, etc.)
  • component: Affected component area (active_record_model, hotwire_mount, sidekiq_job, etc.)
  • symptoms: Array of 1-5 observable symptoms (error messages, unexpected behavior)
  • root_cause: Detailed explanation of WHY this happened
  • severity: critical, high, medium, or low
  • tags: Array of up to 8 searchable keywords (lowercase, hyphen-separated)

Optional Fields

  • ruby_version / rails_version: Specific version pattern X.Y.Z
  • iron_law_number: Integer (1-22) indicating which Iron Law was violated
  • related_solutions: Array of file paths to related solutions

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
