.claude/skills/skill-maintenance/SKILL.md

skill-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code from SRombauts/SQLiteCpp. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,182 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for editing files in .claude/skills/, including Markdown formatting, metadata, file organization, and when to split content into reference files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, revising, reorganizing, or removing skills and their reference documents.
Why use it?
It helps keep skill files consistent, readable, and compatible with the project's conventions.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is SRombauts/SQLiteCpp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on SQLiteCpp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything SQLiteCpp configures →

About the project

SQLiteC++ is a C++ wrapper around SQLite's native C interface, providing classes for working with SQLite databases. It is used by C++ developers who want a lightweight interface with standard library types, exceptions, and resource management. The catalogue entries provide skills for working with the library.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high

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 →

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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

skill-maintenance 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 21d 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 — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Maintenance

Editing conventions for files under .claude/skills/** (including SKILL.md and any references/*.md). Does not apply to markdown elsewhere in the repo. Apply on every edit. Do not retroactively rewrite skills that drift from these rules. Refactor only when you are already editing the skill for another reason.

For the upstream specification, see Anthropic's Skill authoring best practices. The conventions below are repo-local extensions and reinforcements of that guide.

Commit scope

Skill maintenance is documentation work. Commit changes to skills and agent instructions separately from implementation, tests, build configuration, and CI workflows, even when the same task prompts them. Related skill and AGENTS.md updates may share one documentation commit.

Follow sqlitecpp-workflow for commit ordering, including its separate final CHANGELOG commit.

Markdown style

Wrap markdown at 100 characters. In rendered Markdown, single newlines fold into spaces, so wrapping does not affect the output, but it makes side-by-side diffs and review readable.

ASCII only. No emoji, no symbolic icons (warning signs, check marks, decorative arrows, prohibition signs, etc.), no emoticons. Plain ASCII keeps git diff and GitHub's diff/blame views readable and copy-pasteable, and stays consistent with the repo's .editorconfig (UTF-8 encoding, but ASCII content avoids review surprises). For emphasis use bold, headings, or a leading word like NEVER.

No em dashes or en dashes. Em dashes (—) and en dashes (–) are non-ASCII, so the ASCII-only rule above already bans them. This line restates it because they slip in through copy-paste and autocorrect. Do not use -- or - as a substitute; restructure instead: a period (new sentence), a comma (a tight aside), a colon (an explanation), or parentheses (a true aside). This keeps skill markdown consistent with the humanizer skill, which bans em dashes in all published prose.

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.
