robust-file-generation

robust-file-generation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HKUDS/OpenSpace. It costs 0 tokens per session (138 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strategy for creating files with explicit paths and verified folders when automated file operations fail. It emphasizes checking locations before writing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building project folders and writing multiple files after sandbox or agent-based creation tools fail.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of missing directories, misplaced files, and unclear output locations.

About the project

OpenSpace is a skill-management layer for AI agents that stores, retrieves, evaluates, shares, and improves reusable workflows. It is intended for people using multiple coding agents who want skills to be reused and refined based on task outcomes. The catalogue provides 200 skills for use with OpenSpace and the agents it supports.

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

robust-file-generation 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 5d 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 it actually says

The patch I created addresses the root cause identified in the failure context. The key fixes include:

  1. Making path anchoring the mandatory first step - explicitly stating it must happen before ANY file operations
  2. Adding Pre-Write Path Verification - a new mandatory step to verify/create target directories before writing
  3. Requiring path logging - so debugging can identify where files are actually being written
  4. Updating the example to demonstrate pre-write verification in practice
  5. Strengthening the Rules section with explicit ALWAYS/NEVER statements about absolute paths

This should prevent the issue where files were created in unexpected locations despite the skill's instructions.

Files

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.
