About the project

Skill Compose is an open-source platform for building and running AI agents that use modular skills. It is intended for creating skill-powered agents without workflow graphs or a command-line interface, and the catalogue skills are examples of those agent capabilities.

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

audio-extractor 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extract_audio.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 300 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audio Extractor

Extract pure audio from videos and download audio content. Supports format conversion, metadata embedding, and batch playlist processing.

Prerequisites

  • Executor: Must use the remotion executor (provides yt-dlp, ffmpeg, deno)
  • JS Runtime: deno is required for YouTube extraction (yt-dlp 2025+ default). The remotion executor includes deno.
  • ffmpeg: Required for audio format conversion and metadata embedding. Included in remotion executor.

Limitations

Issue Detail
YouTube rate limiting Server IPs are frequently rate-limited by YouTube. If you get "This content isn't available, try again later", wait ~1 hour or ask the user to upload the audio file directly.
YouTube JS runtime yt-dlp requires deno for YouTube. Without it: No supported JavaScript runtime could be found.
Geo-restrictions Some content may be region-locked. Use --geo-bypass flag.
Authentication Some platforms require cookies. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies cookies.txt.

Fallback strategy: If YouTube download fails, suggest the user upload the audio file directly or provide a direct audio URL.

Quick Start

# Extract audio (best quality, original format)
yt-dlp -x "URL"

# Extract as MP3
yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "URL"

# MP3 with metadata and cover art
yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail "URL"

Audio Formats

Format Selection

Format Command Use Case
MP3 --audio-format mp3 Universal compatibility
M4A/AAC --audio-format m4a Apple devices, good quality/size
FLAC --audio-format flac Lossless, archival
WAV --audio-format wav Uncompressed, editing
OPUS --audio-format opus Best quality/size ratio
Vorbis --audio-format vorbis Open source, OGG container
Best --audio-format best Keep original (no conversion)

What ships with it

1 file 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.
