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

make-skill-template 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 2d 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.

Make Skill Template

A meta-skill for creating new Agent Skills. Use this skill when you need to scaffold a new skill folder, generate a SKILL.md file, or help users understand the Agent Skills specification.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks to "create a skill", "make a new skill", or "scaffold a skill"
  • User wants to add a specialized capability to their GitHub Copilot setup
  • User needs help structuring a skill with bundled resources
  • User wants to duplicate this template as a starting point

Prerequisites

  • Understanding of what the skill should accomplish
  • A clear, keyword-rich description of capabilities and triggers
  • Knowledge of any bundled resources needed (scripts, references, assets, templates)

Creating a New Skill

Step 1: Create the Skill Directory

Create a new folder with a lowercase, hyphenated name:

skills/<skill-name>/
└── SKILL.md          # Required

Step 2: Generate SKILL.md with Frontmatter

Every skill requires YAML frontmatter with name and description:

---
name: <skill-name>
description: '<What it does>. Use when <specific triggers, scenarios, keywords users might say>.'
---
Frontmatter Field Requirements
Field Required Constraints
name Yes 1-64 chars, lowercase letters/numbers/hyphens only, must match folder name
description Yes 1-1024 chars, must describe WHAT it does AND WHEN to use it
license No License name or reference to bundled LICENSE.txt
compatibility No 1-500 chars, environment requirements if needed
metadata No Key-value pairs for additional properties
allowed-tools No Space-delimited list of pre-approved tools (experimental)
Description Best Practices

CRITICAL: The description is the PRIMARY mechanism for automatic skill discovery. Include:

  1. WHAT the skill does (capabilities)
  2. WHEN to use it (triggers, scenarios, file types)
  3. Keywords users might mention in prompts

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.
