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

skillify 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 6d 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 — 425 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/skillify — Create, adapt, or update a skill

One skill, three modes. Routes automatically to the right one based on input signal.

Consolidates and replaces the prior create-skill, adapt-skill, and update-skill (all merged as of v0.2.0 for vocabulary-moat consistency with the -ify trifecta).

Step 0 — Detect mode

Route by signal:

Signal Mode
Invoked mid-conversation with substantive recent workflow discussion CREATE / from-chat (default)
/skillify from-video <url> OR /skillify + a video URL CREATE / from-video
/skillify from-dump + pasted brief/transcript/notes CREATE / from-dump
/skillify from-scratch <name> OR "make a new skill called X" with no context CREATE / from-scratch
/skillify <github-url> OR "adapt this skill" / "port this skill" / "fork this skill" + external source ADAPT
/skillify <existing-skill> <change> OR "update X skill" / "propagate this learning" UPDATE / targeted
/skillify update (mid-conversation) UPDATE / from-chat — scan recent chat for learnings
/skillify usage <skill> UPDATE / usage — review recent runs, suggest improvements

If ambiguous, ask before proceeding. Never guess between CREATE and ADAPT if there's an external URL involved.


Mode: CREATE

Build a new skill from chat / video / dump / scratch.

Step 1 — Confirm the input source

Sub-mode What
from-chat (default) Extract the skill from the workflow discussed in this conversation. Most common case.
from-video User recorded a Loom / Zoom / screen-share. Calls watch-video in visual mode → transcript + key visual moments → SKILL.md. Best for visual/UI-heavy workflows.
from-dump User pastes a brief, prior conversation transcript, exported chat, or notes.
from-scratch Fresh idea with no source material — interactive Q&A.

Step 2 — Defer to Anthropic guidance for the schema

Don't reinvent SKILL.md format rules. For frontmatter, description-writing, references/ structure, and skill best practices:

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
