chiron: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/teach-chiron/SKILL.md

teach-chiron is a skill for Claude Code from xDido/chiron. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,744 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-time command that scans the important parts of a codebase and writes a persistent project-context file for other Chiron teaching tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up Chiron in a project or after major refactoring, new modules, or structural changes.
Why use it?
It prevents each teaching command from repeatedly scanning the whole project and gives those commands a shared understanding of the codebase.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is xDido/chiron's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on chiron itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything chiron configures →

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

teach-chiron 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 9d 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 — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/teach-chiron — generate project context for chiron

Run this once per project. It scans the full codebase and writes .chiron-context.md — a comprehensive reference that all other chiron skills read instead of re-scanning the project.

Re-run anytime to refresh the context (e.g., after major refactoring, adding new modules, or changing project structure).

$ARGUMENTS

If arguments are provided, treat them as a hint about what changed or what to focus on. Otherwise, do a full scan.


CRITICAL — user instructions always win

Check .agents/README.md first. If user instructions conflict with this command's behavior, follow the user.


What to include vs. skip

High signal (ALWAYS include)

  • Files that define the API surface — routes, handlers, controllers, gRPC service definitions
  • Files that define data models — DB schemas, ORM models, types, interfaces, protobuf/OpenAPI specs
  • Files that wire the app together — DI/bootstrap, middleware registration, config loading, app factory
  • Files with business logic — services, use cases, domain logic, core algorithms
  • Test files — at least enough to understand the testing patterns (framework, mocking, fixtures)
  • Config files — project manifest, linter config, CI/CD, Docker, env examples
  • Documentation — README, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, architecture docs

Low signal (SKIP these)

  • Generated codenode_modules/, vendor/, dist/, build/, .next/, target/, bin/, obj/
  • Lock filespackage-lock.json, yarn.lock, go.sum, Cargo.lock, pom.xml dependency tree
  • Binary files — images, fonts, compiled assets, .wasm, .so, .dll
  • IDE config.vscode/, .idea/, *.code-workspace
  • Git internals.git/
  • Chiron's own files.claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/, etc. (don't scan yourself)
  • Auto-generated migrations — unless they reveal the current schema; prefer the model files instead
  • Duplicate/symlinked content — if the same code appears via symlinks or copies, note it once
  • Test fixtures/snapshots — large JSON fixtures, snapshot files (note their existence, don't dump contents)
  • Minified/bundled code.min.js, bundle.*, webpack output

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.
