onboard-skills

onboard-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from astra-sh/qvr. It costs 149 tokens per session (1,741 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding and installing agent skills into a project or into a user-wide setup. It uses qvr.toml to record your intended skills and qvr.lock to record the exact versions and sources that agents load.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover skills, add registries, install skills from Git repositories, repair a manually copied skill, or make a skill available across projects.
Why use it?
It prevents manually copied skills from being overlooked and keeps the project's declared skill list aligned with what is installed. The lock file also provides a tracked source of truth for the loaded skills.

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

onboard-skills 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Onboard skills with qvr

qvr installs agent skills (SKILL.md bundles) into a project from one or more Git registries. qvr is agent-agnostic — it installs into whichever agent target directories you configure (e.g. .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, …). A project's skill set lives in two committed files: qvr.toml is the hand-editable intent (which skills, which default agents), and qvr.lock (TOML, schema v5) is the resolved proof and the source of truth for what an agent actually loads — anything that lands in a managed agent directory without a matching lock entry is hidden on the next sync. Mutating commands write through to both files. This skill walks discovery → install → reconcile.

When to use this

  • The user wants to find a skill, add a registry, or install a skill with qvr.
  • A skill was copied into a managed agent directory by hand and "isn't showing up".
  • The user wants a skill available in every session (ambient/global), not just one project.

Do not use this for editing/forking a skill (see fork-and-publish-skill), or for reproducing an existing set on another machine (see reproduce-skill-env).

Prerequisites

  1. Confirm the CLI is present and note the version:

    qvr --version
    
  2. Run from the project root where you want qvr.toml + qvr.lock to live. The files and the agent-target symlinks are written relative to the current directory.

Workflow

1. Discover what's available

Search already-registered registries (substring match on name/description, with optional hard filters). At least one of a query, --tag, or --author is required:

qvr search pdf
qvr search --tag testing --author acme
qvr search review --full          # untruncated descriptions
qvr search forms --github         # search GitHub for repos tagged agent-skills

List registries and the skills each one indexes:

qvr registry list
qvr registry list anthropics/skills --full

2. Install a skill

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.
