Claude Code From Scratch is a step-by-step learning project that recreates the core architecture of a coding agent in roughly 5,000 lines of TypeScript and Python. It is for developers who want to understand how coding agents work without reading a much larger codebase.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00010 | $0.00064 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00032 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00013 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00006 |
Grade A, and why
greet 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.
What it actually says
Greet Skill
Generate a short, friendly, creative greeting. If an argument (name) is provided, address that person by name. Keep it to 1-2 sentences.
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.

greet is a skill published in the GitHub repository Windy3f3f3f3f/claude-code-from-scratch (2,639 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 64 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
