skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from zenml-io/skills. It costs 2,617 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for maintaining a ZenML skills marketplace, including its folder structure, validation commands, naming rules, and testing guidance. A skills marketplace is a collection of reusable add-ons for coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or updating ZenML skills, checking marketplace or plugin JSON files, reviewing file organization, or following the project’s documentation and testing conventions.
Why use it?
It tells contributors how to inspect and validate the repository even though it has no application runtime or build system. This reduces mistakes in plugin manifests, file locations, and skill documentation.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is zenml-io/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 2mo 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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

This repository is a skills marketplace, not an application codebase.

  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: top-level marketplace manifest listing all plugins.
  • skills/<plugin>/plugin.json: plugin metadata and the relative skills path ("./skills/").
  • skills/<plugin>/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md: primary skill instructions (Markdown with YAML frontmatter).
  • Supporting docs may live beside each skill (for example references/*.md or agents/*.md).
  • design/ is for local design artifacts and should not be committed.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

There is no build pipeline or runtime service in this repo. Use validation and inspection commands instead:

  • jq . .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: validate marketplace JSON syntax.
  • jq . skills/<plugin>/plugin.json: validate a plugin manifest.
  • rg --files skills: list skill files and confirm expected paths.
  • git status: verify only intended files are staged/modified.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

  • Use clear, instructional Markdown in SKILL.md files with frontmatter.
  • Set name to a kebab-case identifier.
  • Write description as concise purpose plus “Use when …” guidance.
  • Keep plugin and skill folder names kebab-case (for example zenml-pipeline-authoring).
  • Follow existing JSON style: 2-space indentation, double-quoted keys/strings.
  • Prefer concrete, actionable steps over abstract guidance.
  • Keep ZenML doc links current (https://docs.zenml.io/...).

Testing Guidelines

No automated test framework is configured here. Treat structure validation as required:

  1. Confirm skill file location: skills/<plugin>/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md.
  2. Confirm plugin.json includes "skills": "./skills/".
  3. Confirm plugin registration in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
  4. Manually preview changed Markdown for heading and code fence rendering.

Plugin-Specific Notes

zenml-airflow-migration

  • The skill uses three reference files (references/concept-map.md, references/code-patterns.md, references/gaps-and-flags.md) for progressive disclosure — SKILL.md stays focused on the workflow, references are loaded on demand.
  • Post-migration, the skill chains to zenml-quick-wins and optionally zenml-pipeline-authoring for further enhancement.
  • The migration report template includes a "What You Get for Free" section and community Slack support for complex migrations with many unsupported patterns.
  • Post-migration, the skill suggests running /simplify to clean up migration comments and reduce duplication, and offers to open GitHub issues on zenml-io/zenml for genuine feature gaps.

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.
