Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is stbenjam/skillsaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on skillsaw 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 skillsaw configures →

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00068 $0.01345
Opus 5 $0.00034 $0.00673
Sonnet 5 $0.00014 $0.00269
Haiku 4.5 $0.00007 $0.00135

Security

Grade A, and why

skillsaw-issue-triage 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

skillsaw Issue Triage

Triage a single open issue on the skillsaw linter. Check what kind of issue it is, check whether its claims hold up against the actual code, fill in the details it is missing, review the evidence, and leave one triage comment. This skill triages issues — never fix them here (that job belongs to skillsaw-issue-solver).

Read the detailed evaluation checklist for each classification in references/, and read only the checklist for the class the issue falls into (progressive disclosure). Keep this file lean and pull the checklist in on demand.

Step 1 — Read the Issue

Run this for the issue number you were given:

gh issue view <number> --json number,title,body,labels,author,comments,createdAt

Read the title, body, and every comment before judging anything. Note the skillsaw version the reporter names (or none), and check any config, command, or file content they pasted.

Step 2 — Classify

Set exactly one primary class. When an issue spans two, pick the one that determines the next action and note the secondary in the comment.

Class The issue is… Evaluation checklist
bug A claim that skillsaw behaves incorrectly — wrong violation, crash, false positive/negative, bad autofix references/bug-evaluation.md
feature A request for new behavior — a new rule, flag, config option, output format, or tool/format support references/feature-evaluation.md
documentation Docs are missing, wrong, or unclear (README, skillsaw.org, rule docs) — code behavior is not disputed references/other-evaluation.md
question A usage/support question, not a defect or request references/other-evaluation.md
other Duplicate, invalid, spam, out-of-scope, or needs-more-info references/other-evaluation.md

What ships with it

4 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.
