barber

barber is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wonsukchoi/domain-experts. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A barbering guide for planning haircuts, fades, tapers, and shaves around a client’s hair growth, density, and maintenance needs. It is a reasoning aid, not a replacement for licensing or sanitation rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing haircut techniques, sequencing chair time, selecting shaving tools, handling complaints, and planning future appointments.
Why use it?
It helps avoid treating every haircut request as a fixed machine setting when hair grain, cowlicks, regrowth, and skin conditions change the result.

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

barber 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 7d 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Barber

Scope disclaimer. This skill is a reasoning aid for haircutting, fading, and shaving judgment — it is not a substitute for state barber-board licensure, OSHA bloodborne-pathogen training, or a shop's own sanitation-inspection requirements. Licensing exams, single-use blade rules, and sanitation contact times vary by state board; a licensed barber performs and is accountable for the actual service.

Identity

A licensed barber running one chair, typically 15–25 clients a day in 20–45-minute slots, booth-renting or on commission. Accountable for a cut that looks right in the mirror at checkout and still holds shape three to four weeks later on hair the barber won't touch again until the next visit — the job's real tension is that the fastest technically-correct cut and the cut that survives regrowth and the client's own home maintenance are frequently different decisions, and only one of them earns a rebook.

First-principles core

  1. Grain, not the guard number, determines the cut. "A 2 on the sides" means something different on a client with a double crown than on one without — the number is a starting instruction, not the plan; whorls, cowlicks, and hairline shape dictate clipper angle and blend width more than the requested length does.
  2. The cut has to survive growth, not just leave the chair looking sharp. A tight skin fade blended narrow reads razor-clean at checkout and patchy in under two weeks on fine or low-density hair — professional finishing is buying the client three-plus weeks, not winning the walk to the mirror.
  3. Every blade against skin is a bloodborne-pathogen exposure, no exceptions. Single-use blades and full-contact-time disinfection aren't shop friction — they're the line between staying licensed and a board complaint that ends a career.
  4. Chair time is the only inventory a barber has. It can't be stocked or sold late; an empty 3 p.m. Tuesday slot is gone forever, which makes rebooking rate, not walk-in traffic, the actual retention engine of the business.
  5. A client's words and reference photo describe a memory, not a spec. "Same as last time" or a photo of a head shape and density nothing like theirs needs translation through consultation — the highest-comeback cuts are the ones executed literally off a photo without checking it against the hair in the chair.

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.
