In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
They show agents how to add or rename a skill without leaving repository documentation, publishing records, or plugin catalogues out of sync.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

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

This is ysskrishna/ai-agent-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on ai-agent-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 ai-agent-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

ai-agent-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 12d 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance to AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Antigravity, etc.) when working with code in this repository.

Repository overview

This is a curated collection of skills for AI Agents. Skills are packaged instructions and scripts that extend your coding agents capabilities.

Repository structure

skills/
  {skill-name}/
    SKILL.md
    references/
      example.md    # required; one worked example
evals/
  {skill-name}.json # required; trigger eval queries (see evals/README.md)
scripts/            # publish_clawhub.py (ClawHub sync), validate_repo.py (repo checks), test_installs.sh (real install tests), bump_version.py
docs/               # one install guide per CLI
.claude-plugin/     # Claude Code plugin + marketplace metadata (also read by Copilot CLI, Qwen, Antigravity, Grok, Devin, Muse)
.agents/ .codex-plugin/ .cursor-plugin/ .kimi-plugin/   # Codex/Droid, Codex, Cursor, Kimi manifests
plugin.json gemini-extension.json package.json index.js # Agent Plugins 1.0, Gemini, OpenCode
.github/workflows/  # validation on PRs, install tests, release automation (GitHub Releases on version tags)

Run bash validate-skills.sh before every commit. It checks each skill against the spec and runs scripts/validate_repo.py (description rules, example and eval files, and that the files below stay in sync).

When you add or rename a skill, keep these in sync:

  • README.md — Skills table (including Registry badge column), Installation section, and footer ClawHub link when applicable.
  • evals/ — evals/{skill-name}.json with 8 should-trigger and 8 near-miss should-not-trigger queries.
  • scripts/publish_clawhub.py — clawhub_slug_map entry (and publish when listing on ClawHub).
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — plugins catalog for Claude Code.
  • Claude Code install line: /plugin install {skill-name}@ai-agent-skills. The ai-agent-skills bundle plugin picks up new skills from skills/ by itself, and the other CLI manifests point at skills/, so they need no per-skill edit.
  • skills.sh install line: npx skills add ysskrishna/ai-agent-skills --skill {skill-name}.
  • GitHub CLI install line: gh skill install ysskrishna/ai-agent-skills {skill-name}.

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.
