web-technique-to-skill

web-technique-to-skill is a skill for Codex from devinilabs/pro-skill. It costs 148 tokens per session (3,611 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of web-technique-to-skill, MIT.

A procedure for turning a working web visual or interaction into a reusable set of instructions, with a demo that shows the technique and preserves the approved surrounding design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting one visual or interaction technique from existing code, documenting its key behavior, packaging it as a skill, and checking the result against a reference.
Why use it?
It captures useful knowledge that might otherwise remain hidden in one implementation and keeps each reusable skill focused on one underlying mechanism.

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

web-technique-to-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 2mo 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 — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Web Technique to Skill

Start from working code, not from prose. Reach for article-prompts-to-skills when the source is an article or a prompt pack that describes behavior. Reach for this when you built the thing, it works, and the knowledge is currently trapped in one file.

Extract one mechanism per skill. A page that turned out well usually holds several; package them separately or each one gets diluted.

Treat this as the living quality contract for every web-technique skill. On every creation or revision, audit this skill too. If the work exposes a missing fidelity rule, failure mode, packaging constraint, or verification step, update this contract in the same scoped change instead of solving it only inside one child skill.

Name the mechanism in one sentence

Write the sentence before you write anything else: the one thing that, if removed, makes the effect stop working. If you cannot write it, you have a look, not a mechanism, and there is no skill here yet.

The sentence decides everything downstream. For a leaf fall it is "the tumble crosses edge-on, and that instant of near-disappearance is what the eye reads as a leaf" — so the sprite artwork, the palette, and the night scene are all staging, and the tumble is the skill.

Test it: change the subject, the palette, and the layout in your head. If the sentence still holds, it is the mechanism. If it stops making sense, you named the staging.

Name the demo and disclose the stack

Use the concrete technique name for the visible h1 and browser <title>: Wisps, Cursor Ripples, Liquid Metal Border, or Scroll-scrubbed Word Reveal. Do not hide the subject behind an abstract mechanism claim. “Draw at any speed” describes behaviour, but it does not tell anyone what the demo is.

Put the verified implementation path directly above or below that title. Name, in order:

  1. The runtime or framework: Vanilla JavaScript, React, Vue
  2. The renderer or browser API: Canvas 2D, WebGL, DOM/CSS, SVG
  3. The technique layer when present: GLSL shaders, Three.js, GSAP, ScrollTrigger

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.
