ai-instruction-kit-mcp: Command for GitHub Copilot

.github/prompts/skill-authoring.prompt.md

skill-authoring is a command for GitHub Copilot from radthenone/ai-instruction-kit-mcp. It costs 104 tokens per session (1,935 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A command for writing or improving a skill for instruction-kit. A skill is a reusable set of instructions for an AI coding agent, and this command covers its metadata, description, supporting files, length limits, and fallback behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create or revise SKILL.md files, including skills made for a create-skill issue or deciding whether a piece of guidance should be a skill.
Why use it?
It helps make a skill discoverable and usable across clients, including clients that do not support skills natively. It also gives authors rules for handling the skill's supporting files and size.

Command for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot chat mode or prompt.

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-authoring 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 24d 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 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.
