A set of repository instructions for maintaining coding skills and plugin support. It covers skill files, plugin manifests, versions, dependencies, credentials, network behavior, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when maintaining this skills repository, updating manifests, synchronizing versions, or checking changes before release.
Why use it?
It reduces inconsistent metadata and broken plugin listings when skills are added, changed, renamed, or removed.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Claude Code.

This is Giskard-AI/giskard-skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on giskard-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything giskard-skills configures →

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

giskard-skills AGENTS.md 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.

Maintaining skills and plugin support

Skill changes

  • Each skill has its own directory containing SKILL.md, with YAML frontmatter that includes a unique name matching the directory name and a nonempty description. Keep supporting references and scripts inside that directory so installations remain self-contained.
  • When adding, renaming, or removing a skill, update the available-skills table in README.md and the skills array in both .claude-plugin/plugin.json and .grok-plugin/plugin.json.
  • The two manifests must remain identical. List individual skill directories (for example ./hub/hub-agent-setup), never parent collections such as ./hub/. Grok's indexer does not recursively discover skills from those collection paths.
  • When updating a skill, review its dependencies, credentials, and network behavior against the README and update that documentation if needed.
  • Keep plugin versions synchronized. Bump the plugin version for a release that changes shipped skills or resources; also update the changed skill's metadata.version when applicable. CI-only changes do not require a plugin version bump.

Validation

Follow the commands in the README's Development checks section. .github/workflows/plugin-smoke.yml runs shared packaging checks, Claude's validator, Grok's indexer, and npx skills installation checks on pull requests and pushes to main. Use uv to manage Python and the smoke-test dependencies; CI uses Python 3.14 and Node.js 24 LTS.

  • Packaging checks require the manifests to include every tracked SKILL.md exactly once. Add new skill files to Git's index before running the checks; the snapshots use the current contents of tracked files, including uncommitted edits.
  • Verify discovery with the real provider tooling. Do not replace those checks with a homemade approximation of a provider's loader.
  • The skills CLI check installs into a temporary project for Claude Code, Cursor, and Grok and compares every tracked skill file, including references and scripts, with the installed copy.
  • Keep smoke tests free of model calls, service credentials, live exports, and tunnels. They verify packaging and discovery, not whether an agent follows the skill correctly. They must not install skills globally or modify the developer's agent configuration.
  • External tools are pinned: Claude and the Grok indexer in the workflow, the skills CLI in scripts/smoke_plugins.py, and Python dependencies in scripts/requirements-smoke.txt. Update pins deliberately and rerun the relevant checks.
  • Pin every external GitHub Action to a full release commit SHA with a version comment. When updating, verify the release tag resolves to that commit and the commit contains action.yml. A release such as v10.2.0 does not guarantee a v10 alias exists.

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.
