writing-skills

writing-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GCWing/BitFun. It costs 20 tokens per session (5,099 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of writing-skills, MIT.

A guide for creating, editing, and testing skills. TDD, or test-driven development, means writing tests before the implementation; here, the tests check whether an assistant follows the written process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write new skills, improve existing ones, and verify them before deployment.
Why use it?
It helps reveal gaps in skill instructions by testing agent behaviour before and after the instructions are written.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the TodoWrite tool; mentions AGENTS.md.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ./render-graphs.js ../some-skill # Each diagram separately.

Good fit Use it to write new skills, improve existing ones, and verify them…

About the project

BitFun is a desktop AI agent that turns tasks into interactive mini-apps while also writing code, creating documents, and controlling computers. It is for software development and general desktop work across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its catalogue entries extend the agent with skills, agents, and instructions.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

writing-skills 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (render-graphs.js), 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.

Writing Skills

Overview

Writing skills IS Test-Driven Development applied to process documentation.

Personal skills live in %APPDATA%/OpenBitFun/skills on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/OpenBitFun/skills on macOS, and ~/.local/share/OpenBitFun/skills on Linux.

You write test cases (pressure scenarios with subagents), watch them fail (baseline behavior), write the skill (documentation), watch tests pass (agents comply), and refactor (close loopholes).

Core principle: If you didn't watch an agent fail without the skill, you don't know if the skill teaches the right thing.

CORE PRINCIPLE: This skill adapts the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to documentation — write a failing test (baseline scenario), write the skill, verify it works, then close loopholes.

Official guidance: For OpenBitFun bundled skills, keep instructions self-contained, tool-accurate, and independent of external assistant runtimes. This document provides additional patterns and guidelines that complement the TDD-focused approach in this skill.

What is a Skill?

A skill is a reference guide for proven techniques, patterns, or tools. Skills help future OpenBitFun instances find and apply effective approaches.

Skills are: Reusable techniques, patterns, tools, reference guides

Skills are NOT: Narratives about how you solved a problem once

TDD Mapping for Skills

TDD Concept Skill Creation
Test case Pressure scenario with subagent
Production code Skill document (SKILL.md)
Test fails (RED) Agent violates rule without skill (baseline)
Test passes (GREEN) Agent complies with skill present
Refactor Close loopholes while maintaining compliance
Write test first Run baseline scenario BEFORE writing skill
Watch it fail Document exact rationalizations agent uses
Minimal code Write skill addressing those specific violations
Watch it pass Verify agent now complies
Refactor cycle Find new rationalizations → plug → re-verify

What ships with it

6 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.
