paper-skill-name

paper-skill-name is a skill for Codex from blackblue-labs/zeroplot. It costs 30 tokens per session (188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template for writing a skill's instructions, including its purpose, triggers, workflow, required reading, output format, and common mistakes. The input does not identify a specific domain or finished capability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a starting point when creating documentation for a coding-agent skill. Fill in the missing domain, triggers, resources, output requirements, and safety rules.
Why use it?
It gives a skill a consistent structure so an agent can tell when to use it and what result to produce. The provided material is only a template, so its actual task is unspecified.

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

paper-skill-name 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 10d 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

Paper Skill Name

Overview

State the core principle in 1-2 sentences.

When to Use

  • Trigger scenario.
  • Trigger phrase.
  • Input type.

Core Pattern

Define the routing or execution pattern.

Required Reads

  • Always read: <file>.md when needed.
  • Read on demand: references/<file>.md for heavy details.

Output Contract

Return:

  • artifact type;
  • table/spec/checklist shape;
  • required caveats;
  • file path if writing files.

Source / License Rules

Do not copy upstream content without compatible license and attribution.

Common Mistakes

  • Mistake that makes output unusable.
  • Mistake that violates source rules.
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.
