legilimens-anthropica

legilimens-anthropica is a skill for Claude Code from Totes-MickGOATs/opus-pocus. It costs 139 tokens per session (961 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research step that checks current guidance from Anthropic, the company behind Claude, and Claude Code before reviewing a repository. It focuses on how to organize instructions and related files for the newest Claude model family.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before auditing or changing a repository’s Claude-related files, such as memory files, rules, hooks, agents, and skills. It gathers official documentation, changelog entries, model notes, and selected practitioner guidance.
Why use it?
Advice for new Claude models changes over time, so older repository rules may no longer fit. This step updates the standards used by later audits before they make recommendations.

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

legilimens-anthropica 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 12d 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.

🔮 Legilimens Anthropica

"Read the minds at Anthropic before re-inventing them badly."

Every other spell in this book encodes a snapshot of what was known when it was written. This one refuses to trust snapshots — including this repo's own. Run it first; let what it finds recalibrate the other passes' thresholds.

In the grand ritual it runs at Phase 0.6, before the graded passes rather than alongside its Divination siblings — thresholds have to be recalibrated before the passes that use them, not after. Class is taxonomy; phase is execution order.

Sources, in trust order

  1. Official docs — the Claude Code documentation (memory/CLAUDE.md guidance, rules, hooks, agents, skills pages) and Anthropic's prompt-engineering guidance for the current model family. Fetch and READ the pages; don't stop at search snippets.
  2. The Claude Code changelog — new instruction-layer features (rules scoping, hook events, frontmatter fields) ship here first, often ahead of the docs.
  3. Anthropic engineering blog / model release notes — behavior deltas per model family: what the new family does unprompted, what it over-obeys, what got deprecated as advice.
  4. Credible practitioners — engineers publishing measured results (ablations with eval deltas, before/after token numbers), not vibes threads. A claim with a measurement beats a claim with a following.

What to extract

  • Behavior deltas: what the current family does without being told (self-verification, wide instruction reach, emphasis sensitivity) — these decide what instruction text is now redundant or harmful.
  • Feature surface: instruction-layer capabilities the repo isn't using (path-scoped rules, new hook events, frontmatter fields like model/effort pins).
  • Deprecated advice: yesterday's best practice that current guidance reverses. Flag any the repo still follows.
  • Size/structure targets: current recommendations for memory-file size and organization.
  • Community-measured numbers: compliance rates for hooks vs prose, ablation results, context-economics findings — with their sources, so later readers can re-check.

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.
