climb

climb is a skill for Claude Code from thevibeworks/claude-code-docs. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,512 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of climb, MIT.

A guided tool for estimating where a person or team is on a set of AI-adoption steps and choosing what to try next. It can use the person's description and, with consent, approved project or session information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a teammate, yourself, or a team and suggest a next experiment based on how they work.
Why use it?
It gives a concrete next step when it is unclear what is blocking someone from using coding agents more effectively.

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

climb 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Start here

Say in one line what you'll make: which step someone is on, what's holding them back, and one thing to try next on their own code.

What the champion typed after the command, if anything: $ARGUMENTS

If that's blank, run the guided flow below. If it has text, or they already told you some of this, use what it answers and ask only for what's still missing.

Then ask:

  1. Who is this for? Use AskUserQuestion with "A teammate" (recommended), "Me", and "The team".
  2. How do they work today? For the team, ask how most of the team works. Use AskUserQuestion with "One session at a time, reads every change", "A few sessions in parallel", "Many agents, or Claude starts most of them", and "Can't get to current tools yet". If they pick the third, ask who starts most of the agents, to tell Step 3 from Step 4. Their own description also works.
  3. What gets in their way most? A plain question. The default is "not sure yet".
  4. Should I look at Claude Code session transcripts too? This is optional, and it's a consent question.
    • For "Me": suggest /insights first, which reports on recent sessions without you reading them. To read the transcripts themselves, work out this project's folder under ~/.claude/projects/ from the working directory (the cleanupPeriodDays setting at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings-reference covers these transcripts), and name that exact folder.
    • For a teammate or the team: use only transcripts each person chose to share, given to you as a path. Ask the champion for the path, and confirm the person shared it themselves.
    • Use AskUserQuestion with "Not yet" (recommended) and "Read [the exact folder or files]". Say you'll read only what's there now. Read nothing else.

Don't pull usage numbers or search anyone's work beyond what the champion allowed here.

How to ask: one question at a time, or a small batch of related choices, and wait for the answer before you go on. When the answer is one of a few options, use the AskUserQuestion tool with up to four options, the recommended or most common one first. If AskUserQuestion isn't available, give the same options as a short numbered list and wait for the answer. Ask a plain question only when the answer is open, such as a goal or team names, and suggest a default. When a question asks how someone works or what score fits, mark no option as recommended. A consent question, about reading through git, gh, chat, or a connector, or about writing a file, puts the safe choice, such as "Not yet", first as the recommended one. A pick counts as a yes only for the exact read or write it names. If the champion says "go", list the defaults you'll take for the remaining questions, then take them, but still stop at every consent question. A default never counts as a yes.

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.
