scratch-blocks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Z-Bra0/Scratch-Skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,388 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding assistant for Scratch, a visual programming system where programs are made from coloured blocks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with Scratch project files such as .sb3 or .sprite3, or when a block-based visual explanation is useful.
Why use it?
It makes Scratch code easier to inspect and explain by using the project's internal structure and rendered block images.

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

scratch-blocks 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (scripts/extract.py, scripts/render_ascii.py, scripts/render_svg.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Scratch Code Assistant

Output Contract

  • scratch-json is internal-only. Never paste it into the final user reply.
  • If you show Scratch code or block structure to the user, you must run scripts/render_svg.py.
  • Use scratch-json only for tool input and internal reasoning.
  • If you mention Scratch code, show rendered blocks instead of describing the code only in prose whenever practical.
  • Use the SVG file path printed by scripts/render_svg.py in a Markdown image tag so the user can see the rendered block image.
  • Do not add a follow-up like "Want me to render an example?".
  • Do not rewrite, add, split, or restyle the rendered Scratch blocks.
  • Do not hand-draw, imitate, or approximate Scratch block visuals from memory.

Goal

Help with Scratch code questions by representing Scratch projects into scratch-json when needed, reasoning over that internal representation, and showing Scratch code to the user through scripts/render_svg.py instead of raw JSON. For conceptual questions, prefer a visual rendered example over prose-only explanation.

Repo Usage

  • Read files under references/ when you need skill guidance or file-handling instructions.
  • Files under data/ are runtime assets used by scripts/, not AI-facing reference docs.
  • Do not read files under data/ as reference material.

Internal scratch-json Reference

scratch-json is an internal working format for the AI. Do not return it to the user.

scratch-json is a flat JSON array of objects. Each object repeats its owning target, which can represent a Sprite or the Stage.

This is different from raw Scratch project.json / sprite.json. If you have a raw Scratch file, run scripts/extract.py first.

Each object includes:

Field Type Description
type string script, variable, or list
target string Owning sprite or stage name

variable Structure

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.
