grape-idioms

grape-idioms is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from slbug/claude-ruby-grape-rails. It costs 55 tokens per session (264 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of design patterns for Grape, a Ruby framework for building web APIs, including endpoint structure, input handling, versioning, and response objects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing Grape endpoints, validating and shaping parameters, versioning APIs, defining response formats, and writing request tests.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unclear input contracts, inconsistent errors or authentication, and business logic crowded into API endpoints.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

grape-idioms 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

Grape Idioms

Iron Laws

  1. Define input contracts in params do.
  2. Use declared(params, include_missing: false) or equivalent explicit shaping before passing data inward.
  3. Keep endpoints thin and push business rules into application code.
  4. Standardize error envelopes and auth behavior per version.

Good Defaults

  • namespaced versioning
  • rescue_from for predictable API errors
  • presenters/entities only when they clarify response shape
  • request specs for transport behavior

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

grape-idioms is a skill published in the GitHub repository slbug/claude-ruby-grape-rails (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 264 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
