surf-skill

surf-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eph5xx/surfskills.surf. It costs 99 tokens per session (997 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow skill that creates and publishes batches of “skill of the day” cards for a website. It coordinates separate steps for choosing a skill, making a demo, writing the card, producing a preview video, and queuing publication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce a batch of promotional cards for agent skills, including their demo, written description, preview video, and publication date.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manage each card-making step by hand or decide when a step has really passed. It also keeps the work in a locked-down sandbox and records each step’s result.

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

surf-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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/shared/core.mjs, scripts/state.mjs), 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Surf Skill: skill of the day

All six steps are built. Publish writes each card into the catalog with its own future day; it goes live at midnight in Yerevan on that day. The site doesn't show the day yet.

You are the orchestrator. You build cards one after another until the batch is done or something goes wrong. You never do a step's work yourself and never open a step's files. Run scripts from this skill's folder.

Rules

  • Stop at the first problem. Anything other than an ok: reply with a passing check stops the batch. Log it, then tell the owner in the chat which card, which step and why. Don't ask the user anything while things are going fine.
  • Never retry, never rerun. Don't launch a step again after it failed, and don't rerun a step that already finished. Only the owner decides that.
  • Never fix anything yourself. No workarounds, no editing a card's files, no patching scripts. Report and stop.
  • One fresh sub-agent per step (in Claude Code, the Agent tool). Its prompt is two absolute paths: the step skill's SKILL.md and the card folder. Pick gets only its SKILL.md.
  • Trust the check, not the reply. A step passed only when it replied ok: and node scripts/state.mjs check <card> <step> prints ok.
  • Log every step: node scripts/state.mjs log <card> <step> <done|failed|dropped|blocked> "<why>". Use - as the card for Pick before it has one.
  • Owner-only commands. node scripts/state.mjs resume <card> and node scripts/state.mjs skip <card> clear a stop. Run them only when the owner asks.

Input

Batch size: how many cards to publish. Default 7.

Steps

Each step is its own skill, in a sibling folder of this one.

  1. Pick: surf-skill-pick
  2. Plan: surf-skill-plan
  3. Run: surf-skill-run
  4. Card: surf-skill-card
  5. Video: surf-skill-video
  6. Publish: surf-skill-publish

What ships with it

8 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.
