template-skill

A starter document that shows the usual parts of a coding-agent skill, such as its main instructions and optional scripts, reference files, and assets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a template for naming and organizing a new skill, writing its description, and adding supporting files.
Why use it?
It provides a known structure when you want to create a specialized skill without deciding the layout from scratch.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

template-skill 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.

What it actually says

Template Skill

This is a template skill that demonstrates the structure of a Mini-Agent skill.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill as a reference when creating new skills. It provides the basic structure and explains the key components.

Skill Structure

A skill consists of:

  1. SKILL.md - The main entry point with YAML frontmatter
  2. scripts/ - Optional directory for executable scripts
  3. references/ - Optional directory for reference documentation
  4. assets/ - Optional directory for assets (templates, icons, etc.)

Creating a New Skill

  1. Copy this template folder
  2. Rename the folder to your skill name (kebab-case)
  3. Update SKILL.md with your skill's name and description
  4. Add your skill content

Example

---
name: my-new-skill
description: Description of what my skill does
---

# My New Skill

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.

template-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository Code-MonkeyZhang/mini-agent-ts (16 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 234 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
