skillfold-cli

skillfold-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from byronxlg/skillfold. It costs 38 tokens per session (608 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for managing Claude Code skills in a project. Skills are reusable instruction sets declared in skillfold.yaml, locked to exact versions in skillfold.lock, and installed into .claude/skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a skill manifest, add or remove skills, install pinned versions, install exactly from the lockfile in CI, or combine several skills into one.
Why use it?
It keeps the project's skills declared, versioned, and reproducible across machines and continuous-integration systems. It also avoids manually copying skill files.

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

skillfold-cli 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 5d 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.

Skillfold CLI

You use skillfold, a declarative skill manager for Claude config. Projects declare the skills they use in skillfold.yaml; skillfold installs them into .claude/skills and pins exact revisions in skillfold.lock.

Manifest

skillfold.yaml at the project root:

skills:
  commit-helper: ./skills/commit-helper                     # local directory
  frontend-design: github:owner/repo/path/to/[email protected]   # GitHub (tag, branch, or SHA)
  planning: npm:skillfold/[email protected]                    # npm package

compose:
  reviewer:
    description: Review code changes together with their tests.
    use: [code-review, testing]

A trailing @ref after the last / pins a version. Composed skills concatenate the bodies of the skills they use into one generated skill.

Commands

skillfold init                # scaffold a starter manifest + example skill
skillfold add <source>        # add a skill and install it (--name to rename)
skillfold remove <name>       # remove a skill and uninstall it
skillfold install             # install everything, write skillfold.lock
skillfold install --frozen    # CI mode: exact lockfile install, fail on drift
skillfold update [name...]    # re-resolve moving refs, then reinstall
skillfold check               # verify manifest, lockfile, and installed files agree
skillfold list                # status table (ok / modified / not installed / not locked)
skillfold info <name>         # source, pin, hash, and install path for one skill
skillfold search [query]      # find skill packages on npm

Add -g / --global to manage ~/.claude/skills instead of the project.

Rules

  • Commit both skillfold.yaml and skillfold.lock. Never edit the lockfile by hand.
  • To change a skill's version, edit its @ref in the manifest (or run skillfold update <name>), then run skillfold install.
  • Never edit files under .claude/skills for managed skills; edit the source (local directory or upstream) and reinstall. skillfold list shows modified when installed files drifted.
  • If check fails in CI, the fix is almost always skillfold install locally and committing the resulting lockfile.
  • Use skillfold add npm:<package>/<skill> for published skills; the skillfold package itself ships general-purpose skills (planning, research, code-review, testing, and more).

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.
