skill-inbox

skill-inbox is a command for coding agents from Evol-ai/SkillCompass. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,150 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for managing installed coding-agent skills, including a view of suggested skills and a view of all available skills. Skills are instruction packages that teach the agent how to handle particular tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to browse installed skills, review suggestions, initialize skill discovery, and check whether status-line integration is configured.
Why use it?
It gives one place to review the skills available to the agent and see suggestions based on use. It also initializes its local inventory when used for the first time.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/evol-ai/skillcompass/skill-inbox
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Evol-ai/SkillCompass

Or install SkillCompass, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 14 commands, 3 hooks.

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-inbox 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 4d 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 — 308 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/skill-inbox — Skill Suggestion Inbox

Unified entry point for managing skill suggestions and browsing all installed skills. Provides two views: suggestions (default) and all skills.

Arguments

  • (no args): Show suggestions view (default)
  • all: Show all installed skills view

Step 1: Load Data

  1. Use the Read tool to load .skill-compass/setup-state.json. If the file does not exist, this is a first-time use. Auto-initialize:

    1. Run skill discovery silently (same as setup Step 3: scan immediate children of skill directories for */SKILL.md — do NOT recurse).

    2. Run quick scan D1+D2+D3 on all discovered skills.

    3. Save setup-state.json.

    4. Show a brief summary:

      Found {N} skill(s){, M with security risks if any high risk}.
      Usage data accumulates automatically; you'll be notified when suggestions appear.
      

    Then check for statusLine configuration (see setup.md StatusLine integration section). If no statusLine is configured, offer the choice.

    After initialization, continue to Step 2 (show header) and proceed normally. The inbox will be empty (no suggestions yet since no usage data), but the all-skills view will be populated.

  2. Extract the inventory array from setup-state.json. This is the full skill list.

  3. Load inbox data using lib/inbox-store.js. Execute with the Bash tool:

    node -e "
    const { InboxStore } = require('./lib/inbox-store');
    const baseDir = process.env.CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT || process.cwd();
    const store = new InboxStore('cc', baseDir);
    store.reactivateSnoozed();
    const allCache = store.getAllSkillCache();
    const cacheMap = {};
    allCache.forEach(c => { cacheMap[c.skill_name] = c; });
    console.log(JSON.stringify({
      pending: store.getPending(),
      skillCache: cacheMap
    }, null, 2));
    "
    

    Parse the output as inboxData. skillCache is a map keyed by skill name. If the script fails, treat pending as [] and skillCache as {}.

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.
