A set of instructions for carrying out software-engineering tasks with clear goals, verified facts, and evidence from tests or inspections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to frame a task, inspect the real project before editing, make a focused plan, verify the result, and report remaining risks honestly.
Why use it?
It reduces errors caused by assumptions about a codebase and makes it clearer what was checked, what changed, and whether the requested work is complete.

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

oss-readiness 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OSS Readiness — Public Release Gate

Audit a repository for open-source release basics. Scaffold missing public docs/templates. Generate AI-friendly docs (llms.txt, llms-full.txt). Validate CI. Sync version references.

Portability Rules

This skill must stay harness-agnostic and maintainer-agnostic:

  • Accept natural-language prompts and slash-command shorthand as equivalent entry points.
  • Keep AGENTS.md as the canonical agent-instructions file when one is scaffolded.
  • Treat harness-specific files such as CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, codex.md, or .opencode/config as optional aliases/mirrors — never the only supported path.
  • Use placeholders in generated files. Never hardcode links, social handles, org names, or contact methods from this repository.
  • Never invent maintainer contact channels. If the project does not provide one, leave a clear placeholder or omit the optional section.

Required Capabilities

Capability Used For Required Fallback
File read/write/edit Audit and scaffold docs/templates Yes
Shell access git/gh/grep/find-based checks Recommended Manual file inspection
git Repo metadata, tags, tracked-file checks Recommended Filesystem-only audit
gh GitHub metadata, PR/issue/security settings Optional Report as unchecked/manual
node or python Manifest/version extraction helpers Optional Grep/parse text manually

The skill still works without shell tooling. Shell commands are accelerators, not requirements.

Entry Points

Use either natural language or shorthand. Route both to the same workflow.

Intent Example prompts Route
Full audit audit OSS readiness, /oss references/checklist.md
Scaffold missing files scaffold missing OSS files, /oss fix references/checklist.md
Generate LLM docs generate llms.txt, /oss llms references/llms-generation.md

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.
