What is explicit-configuration?

A configuration approach that sets important options directly instead of relying on framework defaults. Framework defaults are settings chosen automatically by the tools used to run an application.

Use it when configuring applications, build tools, or deployment environments where behaviour must remain consistent.

Defaults may differ between computers or environments, causing failures that are difficult to reproduce. Explicit settings make those differences easier to control.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add TheBushidoCollective/han --skill explicit-configuration

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TheBushidoCollective/han

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install core, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 24 skills, 1 agent.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00015	$0.00312
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00125
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00062
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00031

Security

Grade A, and why

explicit-configuration 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 2mo 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.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
