sync-skills-readme

sync-skills-readme is a command for Claude Code from softaworks/agent-toolkit. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that updates the root README's list of available skills by scanning the skills directory and reading each skill's metadata.

In plain words
What is it for?
Refreshing the skills table and assigning entries to categories based on their names and descriptions.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of keeping the README's inventory in sync as skills are added or changed.

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

sync-skills-readme 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sync Skills README

Update the root README.md "Available Skills" table with all skills currently in the skills/ directory. This command scans skills, reads their metadata, categorizes them, and regenerates the table.

Workflow

1. Scan Skills Directory

Use Bash to list all skill directories:

ls -1 skills/

For each skill directory found, proceed to step 2.

2. Extract Skill Metadata

For each skill, read the SKILL.md frontmatter to extract:

  • name: field (skill identifier)
  • description: field (what the skill does)

Use the Read tool to read skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md and extract the YAML frontmatter between the --- markers.

Example:

---
name: codex
description: Use when the user asks to run Codex CLI for code analysis...
---

Extract both fields for table generation.

3. Categorize Skills

Assign each skill to a category based on its purpose. Use this mapping:

Category Emoji Keywords in name/description
AI Tools 🤖 codex, gemini, perplexity, ai, llm, model
Meta 🔮 command-creator, plugin-forge, plugin, command
Documentation 📝 docs, documentation, handoff, requirements, diagram, mermaid, draw, excalidraw, marp, slide, c4-architecture
Development 🛠️ session, handoff, entropy, development, workflow, database, dependency
Design & Frontend 🎨 design, frontend, ui, openapi, typescript, system
Utilities 🔧 domain, meme, web-to-markdown, utility, tool, datadog
Planning 🎯 plan, planning, spec, forge, gepetto, requirements, clarity, game-changing, features
Professional 👔 professional, communication, career, soft-skill, feedback, conversation
Testing 🧪 test, testing, qa, quality
Git 📦 commit, git, branch, pr, pull-request

Categorization logic:

  1. Check the skill name and description (case-insensitive)
  2. Match against keywords in the table above
  3. Assign to the first matching category
  4. If no match, default to "Utilities" (🔧)

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.
