What is it for?
Use them when creating, editing, registering, or publishing a skill in this collection.
Why use it?
They prevent skills from being skipped during registration or breaking tools that render or load the Markdown files.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is mryll/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 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

AGENTS.md

Markdown-first skills collection — no build, tests, or linters. Skills may ship small helper scripts under skills/<name>/scripts/.

Skill File Format

  • Each skill lives at skills/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name, description, version).
  • description MUST be a single-line string — never a YAML block scalar (| or >); block scalars break skill registration.
  • Keep description ≤1024 chars, or Codex CLI silently skips the skill.
  • Quote description in single quotes if it contains a colon followed by a space (archivo: "x"): unquoted, YAML reads it as a nested mapping and the skill fails to parse.
  • Optional references/ subdirectory for supporting docs, linked from SKILL.md.

Non-Obvious Rules

  • Keep skills self-contained: each SKILL.md must work standalone, with no dependency on other skills.
  • Register every new skill in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (the skills array) or it won't be published.
  • The skills.sh renderer crashes on Markdown tables and zero-width-char fence hacks in SKILL.md — use bullet lists and 4-backtick outer fences instead.
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.
