ground-truth-template

ground-truth-template is a skill for Claude Code from YoungLeadersDotTech/young-leaders-tech-marketplace. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,314 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generic template for creating ground-truth skills: reference documents containing verified facts, definitions, and validation criteria. It is a scaffold to customize, not a project-specific source of truth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing a canonical documentation or validation skill for a specific project and domain. Replace its placeholders with verified project information before using it.
Why use it?
Reference skills need consistent metadata, scope, sources, and review dates so their claims can be checked. This template provides those fields and usage guidance.

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

ground-truth-template 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 12d 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 — 279 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Justification: pure template scaffold - emits verbatim template content with no LLM reasoning pass.

Ground Truth Documentation Template

Purpose

This template guides the creation of ground truth skills - verifiable, canonical reference documentation that provides definitive facts, definitions, and validation criteria. Replace all [PLACEHOLDER] values with actual verified information.

SKILL.md Frontmatter Template

---
name: [project]-[domain]-ground-truth
description: Ground truth documentation for [PROJECT_NAME] [DOMAIN] providing canonical definitions, verified facts, and validation criteria. Auto-invoke when user discusses [TOPIC_1], [TOPIC_2], or validates [VALIDATION_SCENARIO]. Do NOT load for general [DOMAIN] discussions without [PROJECT_NAME] context.
disable-model-invocation: true
allowed-tools: []
version: 1.0.0
category: Ground Truth
tags: [[project], [domain], reference, validation]
source: [CANONICAL_SOURCE_URL_OR_LOCATION]
verified-date: [YYYY-MM-DD]
next-review: [YYYY-MM-DD]
---

Description Engineering Guidance:

DO include:

  • Specific topics covered (definitions, metrics, processes)
  • Validation scenarios where ground truth applies
  • Canonical source attribution
  • Version or release reference if applicable

DON'T use:

  • Generic descriptions ("Provides information about...")
  • No source attribution
  • No scope boundaries (will load for irrelevant discussions)

Example Good Description:

Ground truth documentation for Apollo payment processing providing canonical transaction states, error codes, and retry policies. Auto-invoke when user discusses payment flows, error handling, or validates transaction logic. Do NOT load for general payment discussions outside Apollo.

Ground Truth Content Structure

1. Canonical Definitions

Purpose: Single source of truth for terms, concepts, and classifications

Term: [TERM_NAME]

Definition: [PRECISE_CANONICAL_DEFINITION]

Source: [AUTHORITATIVE_SOURCE] (verified [DATE])

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.
