vastai-host-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/skill-writer/SKILL.md

skill-writer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cogni-AI-OU/vastai-host-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,010 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for creating and updating skills for GitHub Copilot coding agents. It explains the required SKILL.md format and authoring practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing a new skill, improving an existing SKILL.md, or recording a solution to a recurring agent problem.
Why use it?
It helps keep agent skills consistent and compliant with repository rules instead of relying on incomplete or improvised instructions.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

This is Cogni-AI-OU/vastai-host-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on vastai-host-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vastai-host-mcp configures →

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

skill-writer 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 11d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: skill-writer description: >- When the user requests to create, update, or refine a GitHub Copilot skill, generate or revise a complete SKILL.md file that strictly adheres to the official format, validation rules, and community best practices.

Skill Writer

Generate or update SKILL.md files for GitHub Copilot coding agents, ensuring precise activation, concise expert-level guidance, and full compliance with repository standards.

When to Activate

  • User explicitly asks to create or update a skill for a specific issue, topic or task.
  • User requests to update, improve, or refactor an existing SKILL.md.
  • User provides new rules, examples, or feedback intended to guide skill authoring.
  • Capture Agent Insights: When the agent struggles with a recurring task, encounters repeated failures, or discovers an effective new solution/workaround not already documented, update the relevant existing skill (or create a new one) to incorporate the insight, ensuring future activations handle the case more efficiently.

Core Process

  1. Infer a unique, descriptive name in lowercase-hyphenated format that will exactly match the intended folder name.

  2. Write a single, highly precise description sentence that captures exact activation triggers without overlap.

  3. Validate that the YAML frontmatter follows all repository-defined schema, linting, and validation rules (e.g., required fields, no extra keys, correct formatting).

  4. Structure the file exactly as:

    • First line: <!-- markdownlint-disable MD003 MD022 MD026 MD041 -->
    • YAML frontmatter block
    • Pure Markdown body with minimal, value-adding sections only
  5. Write dense, imperative, expert-level instructions assuming ninja proficiency; skip basics, favor one-liners, pack maximum depth.

  6. Design for fully autonomous agent execution: include self-contained loops, error recovery, verification steps; avoid any user confirmation except safety-critical cases.

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.
