Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00021 | $0.05360 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.02144 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.01072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00536 |
Grade A, and why
makefile-generator 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 612 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Makefile Generator
Overview
Generate production-ready Makefiles with best practices for C/C++, Python, Go, Java, and generic projects. Features GNU Coding Standards compliance, standard targets, security hardening, and automatic validation via devops-skills:makefile-validator skill.
When to Use
- Creating new Makefiles from scratch
- Setting up build systems for projects (C/C++, Python, Go, Java)
- Implementing build automation and CI/CD integration
- Converting manual build processes to Makefiles
- The user asks to "create", "generate", or "write" a Makefile
Do NOT use for: Validating existing Makefiles (use devops-skills:makefile-validator), debugging (use make -d), or running builds.
Trigger Phrases
Use this skill when prompts look like:
- "Generate a Makefile for a Go service"
- "Create a production Makefile with install/test/help targets"
- "Write a Makefile for a C project with dependency tracking"
- "Add standard GNU targets to this existing Makefile"
Generation Workflow
Stage 1: Gather Requirements
Collect information for the following categories. Use AskUserQuestion when information is missing or ambiguous:
| Category | Information Needed |
|---|---|
| Project | Language (C/C++/Python/Go/Java), structure (single/multi-directory) |
| Build | Source files, output artifacts, dependencies, build order |
| Install | PREFIX location, directories (bin/lib/share), files to install |
| Targets | all, install, clean, test, dist, help (which are needed?) |
| Config | Compiler, flags, pkg-config dependencies, cross-compilation |
When to Use AskUserQuestion (MUST ask if any apply):
| Condition | Example Question |
|---|---|
| Language not specified | "What programming language is this project? (C/C++/Go/Python/Java)" |
| Project structure unclear | "Is this a single-directory or multi-directory project?" |
| Docker requested but registry unknown | "Which container registry should be used? (docker.io/ghcr.io/custom)" |
| Multiple binaries possible | "Should this build a single binary or multiple executables?" |
| Install targets needed but paths unclear | "Where should binaries be installed? (default: /usr/local/bin)" |
| Cross-compilation mentioned | "What is the target platform/architecture?" |

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.

makefile-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills (332 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 5,360 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
