agent-11: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/meta-dev/SKILL.md

meta-dev is a skill for Claude Code from TheWayWithin/agent-11. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,074 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for developing the AGENT-11 framework itself, including its agents, commands, skills, and library files. It distinguishes files shipped to users from files used only to build the framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the AGENT-11 repository, especially deployed library agents and commands or its internal development tools.
Why use it?
It prevents edits from being made in the wrong part of the repository and clarifies which changes will reach installed users.

Skill for Claude Code

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

This is TheWayWithin/agent-11's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-11 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 agent-11 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

meta-dev 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 1mo 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.

AGENT-11 Meta-Development

What this skill is for

You are working inside the AGENT-11 framework repository, not a user product. Edits here ship to other people via install.sh. The same filename can mean two different things depending on directory.

This skill orients you correctly without relying on memory or repeated reminders.

Two parallel agent sets in this repo

Path Role Modify when
project/agents/specialists/ Library agents — deployed to users via install.sh You are improving agent capabilities for end users (≥99% of work)
.claude/agents/ Working squad — internal dev tooling You are improving how we build AGENT-11 itself (rare)

Same distinction for commands:

Path Role Modify when
project/commands/ Library commands — deployed Improving end-user /coord, /foundations, etc.
.claude/commands/ Working squad commands — internal Improving internal dev workflows

Default work target

When in doubt: project/agents/specialists/ and project/commands/. Most work improves what users get on install.sh, not our internal tooling.

CLAUDE.md hierarchy in this repo

File Purpose Deployed?
/CLAUDE.md Jamie's personal preferences NO
library/CLAUDE.md AGENT-11 library instructions → user's .claude/CLAUDE.md post-install YES
.claude/CLAUDE.md Working-squad project guardrails NO

Edits to library content target library/CLAUDE.md. Personal preferences belong in root. Internal dev guardrails belong in .claude/CLAUDE.md.

Verification before significant edits

Before editing an agent or command file, ask:

  1. Am I improving the AGENT-11 library for end users? → project/agents/specialists/ or project/commands/
  2. Am I improving the AGENT-11 development process? → .claude/agents/ or .claude/commands/
  3. Quick check: grep -n "$(basename your-file)" project/deployment/scripts/install.sh — if found, it's deployed (library); if not, it's internal.

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.

Answers questions about cc10x itself — what it is, how to install and configure it, how the router, workflows, memory, and hooks operate, and how to troubleshoot. Use this skill when: the user asks ABOUT cc10x — "what is cc10x", "how do I configure cc10x", "why isn't cc10x activating", "how do cc10x workflows work"…

Two-mode exploration skill: (1) design dialogue — turn rough ideas into validated designs through collaborative interview before planning; (2) spike — throwaway code answering ONE design question, deleted or absorbed, never shipped. Router invokes mode via dispatch context.
