skill-builder

skill-builder is a skill for Codex from arctan303/creator.skill. It costs 31 tokens per session (609 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating or restructuring reusable coding-agent skills with clear triggers, boundaries, instructions, and test cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build skill directories, define when a skill should or should not run, add references and examples, update prompt cases, and run structural and behavioral checks.
Why use it?
It prevents new skills from duplicating existing ones or lacking clear conditions, outputs, safety limits, and ways to verify their behavior.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; $skill-name invocation.

Good fit Use it to build skill directories, define when a skill should or should not run, add references and examples, update prompt cases, and run structural and behavioral checks.

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

skill-builder 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 7d 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

技能构建技能 (skill-builder)

Purpose

建立职责明确、可触发、可验证并与三路由及风险门禁一致的可复用技能,而不是增加百科式说明。

Trigger

  • 新能力无法由现有 Skill 合理承担。
  • 现有 Skill 需要重构其触发边界、契约或验证方式。
  • 纯文案调整或通用 Agent 行为不需要新 Skill。

Required context

  • 当前 AGENTS.md。
  • 1~2 个职责最接近的现有 Skill 及阶段契约。
  • 新能力的触发/非触发场景、输入、输出、合格标准和红线。
  • 至少一个正例、一个边界反例和可自动检查的行为用例。

Workflow

  1. 先证明职责不与现有 Skill 重叠,并确定三路由中的位置。
  2. 创建 SKILL.md、agents/openai.yaml 和必要的 references/stage-contract.md。
  3. SKILL.md 使用 Purpose、Trigger、Required context、Workflow、Output、Stop or escalate、References 七个统一章节。
  4. 将详细模板、检查表和 Examples 放入阶段契约,入口保持短而明确。
  5. 更新 Prompt 用例集、YAML 展示信息和相关文档。
  6. 运行结构校验、YAML 解析、Prompt 契约评测、构建与验证。

Output

  • 完整技能目录和职责说明。
  • 触发/非触发边界、阶段契约与 Examples。
  • agents/openai.yaml 展示名、描述和显式引用 $skill-name 的默认提示。
  • 新增或更新的行为用例和验证证据。

Stop or escalate

  • 职责可由现有 Skill 承担:修改现有 Skill,不新增目录。
  • 拟改规则超出已有授权、或触及未授权权限/发布边界:仅暂停依赖该选择的部分。
  • 没有可测试边界或只复制通用行为:打回。
  • 不得伪造完成/验证或放宽未授权安全边界;用户已授权的风险与审查政策校准应同步更新规则、用例和证据。

References

执行前读取 stage-contract.md。

授权说明:用户已明确要求本次规则优化时按已有范围执行,不因跨多个 Skill 重复确认。用户保留真实任务测试时,只报告获准的结构/脚本检查,不擅自试跑或声称行为通过。

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
