zero

zero is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vercel-labs/zerolang. It costs 14 tokens per session (927 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for installing and using Zero, an experimental programming language where programs are stored in a graph and projected into .0 files. It loads workflows matched to the installed compiler version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing Zero when missing, checking its version, loading version-matched skills, and working with Zero programs through the Zero command-line tool.
Why use it?
It helps an agent use the correct Zero commands and instructions for the compiler already installed, reducing version mismatches.

About the project

Zerolang is an experimental programming language in which a semantic graph serves as the program database, allowing agents to query and submit checked structural edits. It is intended for agent-driven software development where the compiler validates changes before they are stored, while humans review readable text projections. The catalogue entries provide instructions and a skill for using Zerolang's graph and compiler workflow.

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 C, and why

zero scanned grade C with 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Zero

Zero is an agent-first programming language. zero.graph is the program; .0 files are projections of it. Edit through zero patch.

Install this skill once in an agent's skill manager. Keep it thin; Zero's own CLI serves the version-matched workflow for each installed compiler.

Use the zero already on PATH or at ~/.zero/bin/zero when one exists; environments often pin a specific compiler, and replacing it silently breaks version-matched stores and workflows. Install only when zero is missing:

command -v zero >/dev/null 2>&1 || { curl -fsSL https://zerolang.ai/install.sh | bash; }
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.zero/bin"
zero --version

Version-Matched Skills

This file is only a discovery stub. Do not treat it as the full Zero workflow or as command reference.

Before editing, checking, testing, or repairing Zero code, ask the installed compiler for the skill content that matches that exact binary:

zero skills
zero skills get zero
zero skills get zero --full
zero skills get stdlib --topic std.time   # one section instead of the whole topic

If the user has multiple Zero binaries, use the same binary that will run the project:

/path/to/zero skills
/path/to/zero skills get zero --full

Use zero skills get <name> to load only what the task needs, and fetch each topic at most once per session: the content is fixed for a given compiler binary, so refetching a loaded topic returns the same text. Topics and approximate served sizes:

  • zero (~2 KB): this discovery stub
  • agent (~4 KB): read-edit-verify loop, zero query usage, edit surfaces, verification
  • language (~6 KB): syntax, types, effects, control flow, generics
  • graph (~9 KB): zero.graph store, query/view, patch operations, import/export/merge
  • diagnostics (~4 KB): reading diagnostics, zero explain, typed fix plans
  • packages (~5 KB): manifests, package layout, creation and repair
  • builds (~5 KB): build/run, targets, profiles, emitted artifacts
  • testing (~3 KB): test blocks, filters, runtime checks
  • stdlib (~39 KB): full signature reference, including ready-made validators: std.time (RFC 3339 incl. the exact leap-second rule), std.inet (IPv4/IPv6/hostname), std.regex (ECMA subset), std.unicode (strict UTF-8). Check here before hand-writing any parsing or validation logic. Fetch one module's section (~1 KB) with zero skills get stdlib --topic <prefix>, e.g. --topic std.time.

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.

zero is a skill published in the GitHub repository vercel-labs/zerolang (5,382 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 927 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
