javascript

Guidance for writing, reviewing, debugging, and understanding JavaScript, the programming language used to make web pages and many other applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for JavaScript and JSX projects, including writing features, refactoring code, fixing bugs, and organizing imports and types.
Why use it?
It helps keep JavaScript code readable and avoids confusing patterns in functions, asynchronous work, modules, objects, and error handling.

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 B, and why

javascript scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

- Don't lecture or quote the rule — state what's wrong and how to fix it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

JavaScript

Clarity is the highest JavaScript virtue. If your code requires a comment to explain its control flow, rewrite it.

JavaScript rewards explicit, readable code. Prefer boring patterns that are easy to understand over clever tricks that save characters.

Variables and Declarations

  • const by default. Use let only when reassignment is required. Never var.
  • const prevents reassignment, not mutation. Objects and arrays declared with const can still be mutated.
  • Block scope only. let/const are block-scoped; var is function-scoped and hoists — this causes bugs in loops and conditionals.
  • One declaration per line. Never chain const a = 1, b = 2.
  • Group declarations. const first, then let.

Naming

Entity Style Examples
Variables, functions camelCase userName, fetchData
Classes, constructors PascalCase UserService, HttpClient
True compile-time constants SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE MAX_RETRIES, API_BASE_URL
Private fields/methods # prefix (class) #count, #validate()
Booleans is/has/can/should prefix isValid, hasAccess
File names kebab-case or camelCase user-service.js, userService.js

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

javascript is a skill published in the GitHub repository xobotyi/cc-foundry (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 3,930 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
