_template

A blank template for defining a new workflow skill. It lays out sections for the skill's purpose, users, triggers, prerequisites, steps, inputs, outputs, and cautions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new skill definition in skills/<skill-id>/SKILL.md. It helps document when the skill runs, what it needs, what it does, and where it saves results.
Why use it?
It gives new skill definitions a consistent structure and makes their expected use clear to coding agents. Replacing the placeholders produces a document that is easier to follow and review.

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 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 2d 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 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.

_template is a skill published in the GitHub repository forthends/clockwork (8 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 287 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
