your-skill-name

A starter template for creating a custom Anima skill for a device type. It explains where to define supported devices, allowed actions, safe no-ops, preference learning, reference knowledge, and action helpers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building a new Anima device skill, defining device-specific decisions, exposing executable actions, or recording preferences learned from usage.
Why use it?
It gives developers a structure for turning a device adapter into a focused skill with clearly limited behavior. The template also highlights the parts that must be replaced before use.

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

your-skill-name 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 1 executable file (scripts/actions.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.

What it actually says

Your Skill

This folder is a starter template for a user-authored Anima skill.

Before you use it:

  1. Copy _template/ to skills/custom/<your-skill-name>/
  2. Rename name: to a real skill name
  3. Replace your_device_type with the device type your adapter emits
  4. Update the references and scripts below

What This Skill Must Define

  • When the skill should be used
  • Which device types it supports
  • What actions it is allowed to emit
  • What counts as a safe no-op
  • How preferences should be learned over time

Load These Resources

  • references/knowledge.md for domain rules, comfort ranges, and device interactions.
  • references/decide.md when generating a single-device action.
  • references/learn.md when updating the learned profile from usage history.
  • scripts/actions.py for the runtime action helpers exposed to Anima.

Working Rules

  • Keep the description in frontmatter concrete so the skill is easy to trigger.
  • Only expose actions in scripts/actions.py that the target adapter can execute.
  • Prefer narrow, conservative decisions over broad generic prompts.

Fill-In Checklist

  • Frontmatter: Replace your-skill-name with a lowercase stable id such as fan or plant_watering.
  • metadata.device_types: Must match the device.type values your adapter produces.
  • references/knowledge.md: Add real target ranges, risk conditions, and interactions.
  • references/decide.md: Keep the output schema strict. Do not let the model invent actions.
  • references/learn.md: Keep the output structured. Avoid free-form essays.
  • scripts/actions.py: Only keep helpers that are valid for your device.

Common Mistakes

  • Using action names that no adapter actually supports
  • Forgetting to define when the correct decision is none
  • Writing vague descriptions like "smart control for devices"
  • Mixing multiple unrelated device types into one skill
Files

What ships with it

4 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.

your-skill-name is a skill published in the GitHub repository Fullive-AI/Anima (1,049 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 490 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
