Claude Code Guide is a reference collection for configuring and using Claude Code, Anthropic’s command-line coding agent. Developers use it to learn commands, skills, agents, MCP, automation, security, integrations, and troubleshooting. Its catalogue add-ons provide many of the documented skills and agents.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00076 | $0.01174 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00470 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00235 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00117 |
Grade A, and why
database-scout 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 1mo 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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
database-scout
Read-only exploration tool for SQLite / PostgreSQL databases — inspect table schemas, preview data, generate ER diagrams, and run safe queries.
Feature Overview
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| List all tables | Show tables and views in the database, with row counts |
| Inspect table schema | Column names, types, constraints (PK/FK/NOT NULL), indexes, defaults |
| Data preview | View the first N rows of a table |
| ER diagram generation | Output Mermaid erDiagram syntax, ready to render |
| Safe read-only queries | Only SELECT/WITH/EXPLAIN allowed; write operations are blocked |
Security Mechanisms
- Connection-level read-only: SQLite opens with
?mode=roURI; PostgreSQL usesSET SESSION READ ONLY - SQL whitelist: Only statements starting with SELECT / WITH / EXPLAIN / PRAGMA / SHOW are allowed
- Dangerous keyword blocking: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, ALTER, CREATE, and 30+ other keywords are blocked
- Multi-statement blocking: Semicolon-separated multiple SQL statements are rejected (prevents injection)
- Identifier escaping: Table names are double-quote escaped to prevent SQL injection
Quick Start
# List all tables in a SQLite database
python3 scripts/db_explorer.py --db-path data.db list-tables
# Inspect table schema
python3 scripts/db_explorer.py --db-path data.db describe users
# Preview data (default 20 rows)
python3 scripts/db_explorer.py --db-path data.db preview orders --limit 10
# Generate Mermaid ER diagram
python3 scripts/db_explorer.py --db-path data.db er-diagram
# Run a read-only query
python3 scripts/db_explorer.py --db-path data.db query "SELECT name, age FROM users WHERE age > 18 LIMIT 10"
PostgreSQL
# Connect to PostgreSQL
python3 scripts/db_explorer.py --db-type postgres --dsn "host=localhost dbname=mydb user=reader" list-tables
# Inspect table schema
python3 scripts/db_explorer.py --db-type postgres --dsn "host=localhost dbname=mydb user=reader" describe orders
What ships with it
2 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.
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.

database-scout is a skill published in the GitHub repository zebbern/claude-code-guide (4,665 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,174 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
