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

claude-commands 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 5d 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.

Claude Code Commands

Custom slash commands for Claude Code: prompt files invoked with /name, with argument substitution and dynamic shell context.

Custom commands have merged into skills. A file at .claude/commands/deploy.md and a skill at .claude/skills/deploy/SKILL.md both create /deploy and work the same way. Existing .claude/commands/ files keep working and support the same frontmatter. Skills add a directory for supporting files, invocation control, and automatic loading when relevant — so create new commands as skills, and use .claude/commands/ only for single-file prompts you already maintain there. The full skill-authoring guide is the claude-skills skill; this skill covers the command surface: naming, frontmatter, arguments, and dynamic context.

File Locations and Command Names

Location Path Command name
Personal skill ~/.claude/skills/<dir>/SKILL.md /<dir>
Project skill .claude/skills/<dir>/SKILL.md /<dir>
Project command file .claude/commands/<file>.md /<file> (extension dropped)
Plugin skill <plugin>/skills/<dir>/SKILL.md /<plugin>:<dir>
Nested project skill apps/web/.claude/skills/deploy/SKILL.md /apps/web:deploy when the name clashes with another skill
  • Use kebab-case directory and file names; the name on disk is the name typed.
  • When a skill and a command file share a name, the skill takes precedence. Across levels, personal overrides project; enterprise managed settings take precedence over both. Plugin skills are namespaced, so they cannot conflict with other levels.
  • In a plugin skill, the frontmatter name field replaces the last segment of the command (my-plugin/skills/review/SKILL.md with name: fancy/my-plugin:fancy). In personal and project skills, name is only a display label — the command still comes from the directory name.

Frontmatter Reference

YAML between --- markers at the top of the file. All fields are optional; description is recommended so Claude knows when to load the command automatically. Malformed YAML loads the body with empty metadata: /name still works, but Claude has no description to match against.

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.
