metis: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/28-coc-reference/SKILL.md

coc-reference is a skill for Claude Code from terrene-foundation/metis. It costs 51 tokens per session (683 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference for building Claude Code templates from five parts: agents, skills, rules, hooks, and commands. It explains how these parts work together to provide knowledge, instructions, safeguards, and learning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating, reviewing, or improving Claude Code agents, skills, hooks, commands, and related project files.
Why use it?
It gives developers a consistent way to structure Claude Code projects and enforce important rules. This reduces missed steps and inconsistent agent behavior.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is terrene-foundation/metis's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on metis 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 metis 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

coc-reference 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 4d 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.

COC Template Implementation Reference

How the COC five-layer architecture is implemented in the Kailash COC template repos. For COC spec/concepts (fault lines, value inversion, autonomous execution), see co-reference/coc-spec.md.

Implementation Inventory

CO Layer COC Artifact Type Count Purpose
L1 Intent Agents 30+ Specialized domain experts
L2 Context Skills + CLAUDE.md 28+ dirs, 400+ files Institutional knowledge library
L3 Guardrails Rules + Hooks 9 rules, 9 hooks Deterministic enforcement
L4 Instructions Commands 20 commands Phase-gated workflow
L5 Learning Learning pipeline observations + digest + codification Knowledge compounding

Layer 3: Defense in Depth

Critical rules have 5-8 independent enforcement layers:

Rule file (soft — AI interprets)
  + Hook script (hard — deterministic, exit code 2 blocks)
    + Anti-amnesia hook (re-injects every message, survives compression)
      + Code review by reviewer
        + Security review by security-reviewer
          + CI pipeline check

The anti-amnesia hook (user-prompt-rules-reminder.js) is the single most important mechanism — fires on every user message.

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.
