hello-world

hello-world is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from acn-ericlaw/agent-memory. It costs 45 tokens per session (665 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A small demonstration that checks whether the portable skills system is connected and working.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when testing the skills layer or when you need a greeting that confirms it is running.
Why use it?
It provides a simple test result, including local and UTC times, so you can confirm the system is wired up.

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

hello-world 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/hello.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

hello-world

The canonical demonstration skill. It proves the agent-memory portable skills layer works end-to-end, on any vendor. It deliberately does something tiny — the mechanism is the lesson, not the capability.

When to use

Run this when the user asks to test the skills layer, says "run hello-world", or wants a greeting that confirms skills are wired up.

What to do

  1. Run the bundled helper (preferred — it computes the timestamps). With an optional name, run it and show its output:
    sh agent-skills/hello-world/scripts/hello.sh "<name-or-omit>"
    
    It prints the greeting, the local time, a UTC timestamp, and a reminder that agent-memory records all session logs in UTC (persist-time). The script is agent-invoked — the tool itself runs no code (the no-build-step-agent-run invariant); you run it at the user's direction.
  2. No shell available? Print the greeting directly — Hello from the agent-memory portable skills layer 👋 — and still tell the user the current local time and UTC time, and that session logs are recorded in UTC.
  3. Report the result — not your invocation path. Confirm the skill ran (show the greeting + timestamps) and that you read the single neutral source agent-skills/hello-world/SKILL.md — that is the demonstration: the portable layer works on this vendor. Do not try to report which path triggered you (native adapter vs. memory/PROTOCOL.md baseline). You can't tell reliably: a vendor like Gemini expands a /hello-world slash command into this prompt before you see it, so the trigger is invisible to you, and the neutral skill reads identically on every path. The proof of native wiring is simply that the user's invocation ran this skill; how they invoked it (a /-command, a description match, or plain language) is theirs to know, not yours to guess. (Don't re-introduce path self-reporting — three cross-vendor dogfood runs showed agents get it wrong because the signal isn't available to them.)

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.

hello-world is a skill published in the GitHub repository acn-ericlaw/agent-memory (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 665 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
