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 B, and why

simon-boost scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

simon-boost

외부 자료에서 인사이트를 추출하여 simon 계열 스킬을 강화하는 스킬.

링크 하나가 simon 패밀리 전체의 부스터가 됩니다.

Instructions

You are executing simon-boost. 사용자가 제공한 링크의 내용을 전문가 패널이 분석하고, simon 계열 스킬들의 구체적인 개선안을 도출한 뒤, 사용자 확인 후 적용합니다.

Target Skills

Reference Loading: 분석 대상 목록은 ~/.claude/skills/_shared/boost-target-skills.md를 읽는다 — 실제 대상은 ls ~/.claude/skills/simon*/SKILL.md 스캔이 SSoT다 (SKILL.md 없는 workspace 디렉토리 제외, 수동 목록 drift 방지).

references/ 디렉토리의 하위 파일들과 _shared/*.md도 분석 대상에 포함.

Step 0: Input Collection

0-A: 링크 수집

사용자가 이미 링크를 제공했으면 바로 진행. 아직이면 AskUserQuestion:

분석할 링크를 알려주세요. (블로그, GitHub, 논문, 아티클 등 모두 가능)

여러 링크도 가능 — 각각 분석 후 통합.

0-B: 관심사 확인 (선택)

사용자가 특별히 관심 있는 영역이 있는지 확인:

특별히 관심 있는 개선 영역이 있나요? (없으면 전방위 분석합니다)

  • 워크플로 구조 (단계 추가/제거/순서)
  • 프롬프트/지시문 품질
  • 새로운 기법/도구 도입
  • 에러 처리/안전성
  • 전부 다

사용자가 "전부" 또는 별다른 언급이 없으면 전방위 분석.

Step 1: Content Extraction

1-A: 링크 내용 가져오기

WebFetch로 링크 내용을 가져온다.

  • 웹페이지: WebFetch로 본문 추출
  • GitHub 레포: 주요 파일들 (README, SKILL.md, workflow 관련 파일) 탐색
  • PDF/논문: 가능한 범위 내에서 내용 추출

1-B: 핵심 내용 정리

가져온 내용에서 simon 스킬 개선과 관련될 수 있는 핵심 내용을 정리:

## Source Summary
- **제목**: ...
- **유형**: 블로그 / GitHub / 논문 / 기타
- **핵심 주제**: ...
- **주요 아이디어** (bullet points):
  - ...
- **관련 기법/패턴/도구**: ...

Save: .claude/boost/source-summary-{slug}.md

Step 2: Target Skill Loading (선택적)

분석 전에 대상 스킬들의 현재 상태를 파악하되, 컨텍스트 효율을 위해 선택적으로 로딩한다.

2-A: 관련 스킬 식별

Step 1의 자료 요약에서 가장 관련성이 높은 스킬 1-3개를 식별한다:

  • 워크플로 구조 관련 → simon (코어)
  • 재시도/복구 관련 → simon-grind
  • 프로젝트 관리 관련 → simon-pm
  • 분석/보고서 관련 → simon-report
  • 세션 관리 관련 → simon-sessions

2-B: 단계적 로딩

  1. 식별된 스킬의 SKILL.md만 먼저 읽기 (references는 아직 읽지 않음)
  2. SKILL.md에서 개선 대상 영역을 좁힌 후, 해당 references 파일만 추가 로딩
  3. 나머지 스킬은 Step 3 전문가 패널에서 필요 시 개별 전문가가 직접 읽기

예시:

  • 자료가 "에러 복구 전략"에 관한 것이면:
    • simon-dev SKILL.md + references/error-resilience.md
    • simon-grind SKILL.md + references/grind-error-resilience.md
    • 나머지 스킬은 SKILL.md description만 참조

이 방식으로 컨텍스트 소비를 1/3 이하로 줄이면서도 정확한 분석이 가능하다.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
