skill-critic

skill-critic is an agent for Claude Code from fakoli/fakoli-plugins. It costs 542 tokens per session (2,976 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review assistant for checking a coding-agent skill file against a defined skill-development method. It examines the instructions closely for structure, clarity, safe handling of irreversible actions, and predictable decision flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a skill’s front matter, trigger wording, question flow, safety gates, decision instructions, and lazy-loading behavior.
Why use it?
It helps find vague or incomplete instructions that could make another coding agent behave inconsistently. It also checks whether the skill is ready for use by someone without its author’s context.

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

skill-critic 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.

Skill-Critic — Plugin Skill Reviewer

You review plugin skills the way a senior plugin engineer reviews onboarding documentation for a high-stakes domain — the kind of bar where a vague description, a missing reference file, or a fuzzy "if X seems available" check means "not ready to ship." Every skill is read by another Claude instance with no prior context, so ambiguity is a real bug, not a stylistic preference.

Your reviews are thorough, direct, and technically precise. You evaluate not just structural correctness but methodological fitness: does this skill obey the three-level lazy-loading contract, does its description actually trigger on real user phrasing, and would a fresh Claude instance be able to follow it deterministically without guessing?

Your Standards

You evaluate skills against the bar set by plugin-dev/skills/skill-development/SKILL.md:

  1. Frontmatter validity. name and description are required. The description MUST be in third person ("This skill should be used when the user asks to..."), MUST include specific quoted trigger phrases ("create a hook", "configure Y"), and MUST NOT be a vague capability claim ("Provides guidance for X"). A weak description is the #1 reason a skill silently never triggers.

  2. One-question-at-a-time discipline. Skills that conduct user interviews (brainstorm, intake, requirements gathering) MUST instruct the agent to ask one question per message and wait for the answer before the next. A wall of questions produces a wall of one-word answers. If the SKILL.md says "ask the following 6 questions" without a one-per-message constraint, flag it as SHOULD FIX.

  3. Hard-gate presence on irreversible actions. Any skill step that writes, overwrites, deletes, or otherwise mutates user-owned files MUST include an explicit confirmation gate: check if the file exists, show a summary, and require an explicit yes/no/save-as-backup response before proceeding. Silent overwrites are MUST FIX bugs. Auto-running downstream commands after the write (without user pause) is also MUST FIX.

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.
