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

improve-claude-config 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.

Improve Claude Configuration

Purpose

This skill enables Claude Code to evolve and improve its own configuration based on observed patterns, user feedback, and development needs.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

  • You've explained the same concept to Claude multiple times
  • Claude repeatedly makes the same type of mistake
  • A new workflow pattern has emerged that should be automated
  • Hooks could prevent recurring issues
  • New skills would benefit the project

Self-Improvement Workflow

1. Analyze Current State

Read and understand the current configuration:

# View CLAUDE.md
read_file CLAUDE.md

# List all skills
list_dir .claude/skills/

# List all agents
list_dir .claude/agents/

# View current hooks
read_file .claude/settings.json

2. Identify Improvement Opportunity

Pattern Action
Repeated explanation Add to CLAUDE.md or create a skill
Recurring mistake Add rule to CLAUDE.md
Manual repetitive task Create a hook
Complex workflow Create a skill
Specialized task delegation Create an agent

3. Implement Improvement

Adding Rules to CLAUDE.md

For project conventions or gotchas Claude keeps forgetting:

## Recent Learnings (append to CLAUDE.md)

- [Date]: Description of rule and why it matters
Creating a New Skill
  1. Create directory: .claude/skills/<skill-name>/
  2. Create SKILL.md with standard structure.
Creating a New Hook

Add to .claude/settings.json and create the corresponding script in .claude/hooks/.

4. Validate Changes

  1. Verify JSON syntax in settings.json.
  2. Test hooks if added.
  3. Verify skill loads correctly.

Best Practices

  1. Be minimal: Only add what's necessary
  2. Be specific: Vague rules are ignored
  3. Test changes: Validate hooks and skills work
  4. Version control: Commit configuration changes with clear messages

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.
