004-skill-scaffolding

004-skill-scaffolding is an agent for Claude Code from paulbreuler/limps. It costs 0 tokens per session (363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development task for adding a command that creates new coding-agent skills from templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Implementing `limps skill create`, generating a SKILL.md with references and templates directories, choosing an output location, and filling in the author from Git configuration when available.
Why use it?
It standardizes the files and metadata a new skill needs and prevents the command from overwriting an existing skill.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Getting it into your agent

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

004-skill-scaffolding 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Agent 004: Skill Scaffolding

Objective

Scaffold new skills from templates with limps skill create.

Tasks

  1. Create skill template (src/skills/templates/SKILL.md.template)

    • Anthropic-compliant frontmatter
    • Placeholder sections for When to Use, Workflow, Examples
    • Comments explaining each section
  2. Implement create command (src/cli/commands/skill/create.ts)

    • Create directory structure: {name}/SKILL.md, references/, templates/
    • Populate SKILL.md from template
    • Inject name into frontmatter
    • Attempt to get author from git config
  3. Output location options

    • Default: .limps/skills/{name}/
    • --output <dir>: Custom location
    • --dist: Create in dist/skills/ (for bundled skills)

Acceptance Criteria

  • limps skill create my-skill creates valid structure
  • Generated SKILL.md passes Anthropic format validation
  • Author populated from git config if available
  • --output allows custom location
  • Refuses to overwrite existing skill

Generated Structure

├── SKILL.md

│   └── .gitkeep
└── templates/

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.
