skills_feature

skills_feature is an agent for coding agents from vladkesler/initrunner. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,666 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A format for packaging reusable agent instructions and tool settings as Markdown files. Skills can then be attached to different agent roles so those roles share the same capability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, validate, list, and attach skills such as web research or other tool-assisted workflows to agent roles.
Why use it?
It prevents repeated instructions and configuration by letting you define a capability once and reuse it across 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.

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 C, and why

skills_feature scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Instruction-override phrasinghighPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

- The role's `SecurityPolicy` applies to **all** tools, including those contributed by skills. Skills cannot weaken or bypass security policies.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 418 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skills — Reusable Tool & Prompt Bundles

Skills are self-contained bundles of tools and system prompt instructions packaged as Markdown files. They enable composition and reuse across agents — define a capability once, reference it from any role. Skills use the SKILL.md format (compatible with the agentskills.io standard) with InitRunner extensions for tool configs and requirements.

Quick Start

Create a skill:

initrunner skill new web-researcher

This creates web-researcher/SKILL.md:

---
name: web-researcher
description: Web research tools for fetching and reading web pages.
tools:
  - type: web_reader
    timeout_seconds: 15
  - type: http
    base_url: https://httpbin.org
    allowed_methods: [GET]
---

You have web research capabilities. Use fetch_page to read web pages
and http_request for API calls. Always summarize findings concisely.

Reference it from a role:

name: my-agent
description: Agent with skills
model: openai:gpt-5-mini
prompt: |
  You are a helpful research assistant.
skills:
  - web-researcher
tools:
  - datetime

Validate and list skills:

initrunner skill validate web-researcher/
initrunner skill list

SKILL.md Format

A SKILL.md file has two parts: YAML frontmatter (delimited by ---) and a Markdown body that becomes the skill's system prompt contribution.

Frontmatter Fields

Standard agentskills.io fields:

Field Type Default Description
name str (required) Skill identifier. Must match ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]$.
description str (required) Human-readable description of what the skill provides.
license str "" License identifier (e.g. "MIT").
compatibility str "" Compatibility notes (e.g. required tool types).
metadata dict[str, str] {} Arbitrary key-value metadata (author, version, tags, etc.).
allowed_tools str "" Tool allowlist (agentskills.io standard field).

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.

skills_feature is an agent published in the GitHub repository vladkesler/initrunner (41 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,666 tokens. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (instruction-override phrasing). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
