receive

receive is a skill for Claude Code from synaptiai/agent-capability-standard. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,664 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for accepting incoming data from files, URLs, inline values, or streams and converting it into structured data. It can handle formats such as JSON, XML, YAML, text, CSV, and binary data, with optional schema validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Processing API responses, webhook payloads, messages, events, sensor data, and uploaded files while checking their format, encoding, size, and schema.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive parsing and validation work and gives malformed or unexpected input an explicit error instead of passing it downstream unnoticed.

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

receive 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 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 358 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Intent

Execute receive to ingest incoming data from external sources and parse it into a structured, validated form for downstream processing.

Success criteria:

  • Input data is successfully ingested from the source
  • Data is parsed according to expected format
  • Validation against schema (if provided) passes or errors are captured
  • Structured output is ready for downstream capabilities
  • Malformed or unexpected data is handled gracefully

Compatible schemas:

  • schemas/output_schema.yaml
  • reference/event_schema.yaml

Inputs

Parameter Required Type Description
input_source Yes string|object Source of incoming data: file path, URL, inline data, or stream identifier
expected_format No enum Expected data format: json, xml, yaml, text, csv, binary. Default: auto-detect
validation_schema No string Schema to validate parsed data against
encoding No string Character encoding. Default: utf-8
max_size No string Maximum input size to accept (e.g., "10MB"). Default: "100MB"

Procedure

  1. Identify input source: Determine where data is coming from

    • File path: Read from local filesystem
    • URL: Fetch from network endpoint
    • Inline: Extract from request payload
    • Stream: Connect to data stream
  2. Validate source accessibility: Verify source can be read

    • Check file exists and is readable
    • Verify URL is reachable
    • Confirm stream is connected
    • Check size does not exceed max_size
  3. Detect format: Identify data format if not specified

    • Check content-type headers or file extension
    • Inspect data prefix for format signatures
    • Fall back to text if ambiguous
  4. Parse input: Transform raw data into structured form

    • JSON: Parse to object/array using safe parser
    • XML: Parse to DOM or object representation
    • YAML: Parse to object using safe loader
    • CSV: Parse to array of records
    • Text: Split into lines/tokens as appropriate
    • Binary: Extract structured fields per schema

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.

receive is a skill published in the GitHub repository synaptiai/agent-capability-standard (4 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,664 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
