intel

intel is a skill for Claude Code from voxpelli/vp-claude. It costs 244 tokens per session (4,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research skill that investigates software packages and developer tools, then records structured notes in Basic Memory. It covers several package ecosystems and tools such as npm packages, Rust crates, GitHub Actions, and Docker images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Researching a named package or tool, checking existing coverage and freshness, writing an updated note, and adding cross-links.
Why use it?
It turns scattered research into reusable notes and links those notes to related items in the knowledge graph.

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

intel 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 275 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Intelligence

Research a package or a developer/CI tool and synthesize a structured Basic Memory note, then cross-link existing notes. One research lifecycle — detect → check → resolve → enrich → synthesize → write → cross-link — routed per-ecosystem via the table below. The two families (package and tool) share one BM-note lifecycle end to end; Step 3 (enrichment) is the only point where the source roster diverges. Smaller family-specific bits also exist in Arguments normalization, Batch mode, Step 1 freshness, Step 4 observation rules, and Step 6 — but the unifying axis is the shared lifecycle, not the sourcing mechanics.

Supported ecosystems, by family:

  • package — npm, Rust crates, Go modules, PHP Composer, Python PyPI, Ruby gems.
  • tool — Homebrew formulae/casks, GitHub Actions, Docker images, VSCode extensions, GitHub CLI extensions, Claude Code plugins, skills.sh agent-skill bundles.

Arguments

One or more identifiers, each with an optional <prefix>: (a single call may mix families — npm:fastify brew:ripgrep — and routes each token by its own prefix). The prefix alone selects the family and the routing row:

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.
