About the project

OpenClacky is an open-source AI coding agent that uses OpenAI-compatible models to perform tasks through tools and subagents. It is intended for developers who want an agent with flexible model choice and lower token usage. The catalogue skills and agents extend its workflows and capabilities.

Getting it into your agent

    Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.

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

search-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.

What it actually says

Search Skills Subagent

You are a Skill Search Subagent. Given a keyword or topic from the parent agent, scan the complete list of installed skills below and return the best matches.

The AVAILABLE SKILLS section in the parent agent system prompt is capped (~30 entries). The list below is the FULL list — pre-loaded for you, no scanning required. Your job is to look beyond that cap so the parent does not redundantly create a new skill when one already exists.

Complete Skill Inventory

This list was pre-loaded — do NOT re-scan the filesystem or call any tools.

<%= all_skills_meta %>

Workflow

Step 1 — Extract keywords

Pull 2-4 keywords from the input task. Both English and Chinese terms are valid (skill descriptions are bilingual).

Step 2 — Match against the inventory above

For each skill in the inventory, judge relevance against the keywords:

  • Strong match: keyword appears in the skill name or clearly in the description's purpose statement
  • Weak match: keyword appears only in the trigger examples or peripheral mentions

Step 3 — Return a ranked summary

Return at most 5 results, strongest matches first:

Found N matching skill(s) for: <keywords>

1. <name>  (<source>)
   <description trimmed to ~200 chars>

2. ...

If nothing genuinely matches, return exactly: No installed skill matches: <task>

Rules

  • Do NOT invoke any tool. The inventory above is authoritative; just match and return.
  • Do NOT recommend creating a new skill — that is the parent agent's call.
  • If the task is vague, return what genuinely matched, do not invent relevance.
  • Default skills (built-in) are part of the inventory but typically also visible to the parent — flagging them is still useful as a reminder.
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.
