template-skill

template-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from customerio/ai-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (165 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A sample instruction file showing how to define a coding-agent skill, including when it should be used and what steps it should follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a starting point when creating a new skill and documenting its triggers, instructions, notes, scripts, or reference files.
Why use it?
It provides a basic structure for writing clearer, more reliable instructions instead of leaving the agent with vague guidance.

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 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.

What it actually says

Template Skill

Short intro: what this skill does and why it exists.

When to use

  • Bullet the concrete triggers.
  • Be specific — vague descriptions never fire.

Instructions

  1. First step.
  2. Second step.
  3. Reference bundled files with relative paths, e.g. scripts/run.sh or reference/notes.md.

Notes

  • Keep the body focused; move long reference material into separate files loaded on demand.
  • Bundle any scripts or assets the skill needs in this directory.
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.
