skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from mr-kelly/skills. It costs 1,853 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for maintaining a collection of agent skills and their metadata. It explains how categories and tags in each skill's frontmatter drive the site's sections, filters, and marketplace data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or publishing skills, checking required categories and tags, or updating the repository's generated catalogue information.
Why use it?
It keeps classification information in one authoritative place and helps prevent invalid metadata from blocking a release. Frontmatter is the structured header at the top of a skill file.

This is mr-kelly/skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on 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 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

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 15d 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 — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Kelly's App-in-Skill workspace: 78 skills under skills/, most pairing an agent operating procedure with a Busabase-backed local browser UI for human review and approval. A few are UI-less helpers (agent-rules, publish-skills, the *-community forum CLIs).

Skill taxonomy

Every skill declares its own classification in SKILL.md frontmatter. That frontmatter is the single source of truth — the site sections, the site filters, the README tables, and the marketplace tags are all derived from it. Nothing is maintained in a second list.

---
name: kelly-retail-intel
description: ...
metadata:
  category: industry-intel
  tags:
    - risk:gated-write
    - industry:retail
    - surface:busabase
---

Put this under metadata:, not as top-level category: / tags: keys. gh skill publish validates frontmatter against the agentskills.io spec and one bad skill blocks the whole release; metadata is the spec's free-form field (--fix only strips metadata.github-* install metadata, leaving other subkeys alone). Top-level custom keys have no such guarantee.

category — required, exactly one

One of these thirteen. They are mutually exclusive and decide which section a skill appears in. Defined in scripts/lib/skill-taxonomy.mjs.

Changes

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.
