What it does

Billing Money Rules is an agent skill from coleam00/helpline. Use when creating or editing code under services/billing. Enforces Helpline's money-handling rules — integer cents only, seat limits, and BillingError for every violation.

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/money-conventions.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Demonstration codebase for building the AI Layer (CLAUDE.md hierarchy, hooks, skills, LSP, MCP, plugin) — companion repo for the 'How Claude Code works in large codebases' video.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing code under services/billing

Example prompts

  • “/billing-money-rules”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Money is integer cents. Never a float, never dollars. Variables and
  2. Plan economics live in one place — _SEAT_LIMITS and

  4. Inactive subscriptions cannot be invoiced.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 456234a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Billing Money Rules loads about 281 tokens when it runs, and up to ~592 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 119 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~281
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~592

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 119 words (~281 tokens).

“This skill activates when work is happening in services/billing. It exists so money bugs never ship.”
