skill-use

skill-use is a command for Claude Code from stevesolun/micro-skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (543 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that activates a named converted micro-skill pipeline. It finds the pipeline, checks whether its original source has changed, and runs the available staged process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a converted skill by name and detect when that conversion should be refreshed.
Why use it?
It helps avoid running a missing or outdated converted workflow without warning the user first.

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-use 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 1mo 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

Activate the converted micro-skill pipeline for "$ARGUMENTS".

Steps

  1. Find the converted skill: Look for ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/converted/$ARGUMENTS/SKILL.md. If it doesn't exist, report: "No converted pipeline found for '$ARGUMENTS'. Run /skill-list to see available conversions, or /skill-convert to create one."

  2. Staleness check: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/converted/$ARGUMENTS/original-hash.txt to get the stored hash. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/registry.json to get the sourcePath for this skill.

    • If sourcePath exists and is not "scaffolded":
      • Compute current hash (cross-platform): (sha256sum "<sourcePath>" 2>/dev/null || shasum -a 256 "<sourcePath>" 2>/dev/null || certutil -hashfile "<sourcePath>" SHA256 2>/dev/null | head -2 | tail -1) | cut -d' ' -f1
      • Compare to stored hash
      • If different: the original skill has been updated since conversion.
        • Show the user: "The original skill at has changed since this pipeline was created. The converted pipeline may be outdated."
        • Ask the user: "Would you like to reconvert the skill to pick up the changes? (This will update the pipeline while preserving your failure-log.md)"
        • If user agrees: run the reconversion (read the updated original, reclassify sections, rewrite pipeline files, update hash, preserve failure-log.md)
        • If user declines: proceed with the existing pipeline as-is
    • If sourcePath no longer exists: warn "Original skill file no longer exists at . Pipeline may be orphaned."
  3. Load the pipeline: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/converted/$ARGUMENTS/SKILL.md and follow its instructions exactly -- execute the gated pipeline stage by stage (Scope, Plan, Build, Check, Deliver).

  4. Read the failure log first: Before starting the pipeline, read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/converted/$ARGUMENTS/failure-log.md and the project-level failure-log.md if it exists. Every pattern is a mandatory constraint.

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.
