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

skill-manifest-sync 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 3 executable files (scripts/sync_skill_symlinks.py, tests/run-sandbox.sh, tests/sandbox-tests.sh), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Manifest Sync

这是流程类 Skill,默认仅在用户显式调用 $skill-manifest-sync 时运行。

把仓库 config/skill-symlinks.yaml(推荐 user-scope 软链清单)落到当前电脑:创建缺失的软链、修复指向错误的软链、把指向本仓库但不在清单里的软链作为删除候选提示用户,并用本机白名单记录用户确认保留的例外。其他电脑 clone 本仓库后,执行一次即可获得与其他电脑一致的 skill 配置。

harness-config-sync 的边界:那个 skill 管多宿主之间的 prompt/skills 收敛(事实源 ↔ 各宿主入口);本 skill 只管「本仓库清单 → user-scope(~/.agents/skills)」这一层软链,两者互补不重叠。

Skill Path(set once)

export AUTOREVIEW_SYNC="$PWD/common-skills/skill-manifest-sync/scripts/sync_skill_symlinks.py"
# 全局安装时:
export AUTOREVIEW_SYNC="$HOME/.agents/skills/skill-manifest-sync/scripts/sync_skill_symlinks.py"

$AGENTS_HOME 环境变量可以整体替换 user-scope 根目录(默认 ~/.agents)。

用法

# 预览本机与清单的差异,不改任何东西;有漂移时退出码 1
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode check

# 执行同步;删除候选逐个交互提示(d 删除 / k 保留并加白名单 / n 跳过)
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode apply

# 非交互(CI、脚本):删除候选直接删除
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode apply --yes

# 新增本仓库 skill 后登记清单(要求 skill 目录已存在于 common-skills/)
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode register --skill my-skill --note "一句话用途"

# 登记外部项目 skill:项目须已在清单 sources 声明(缺省自动补一条)
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode register --source mattpocock-skills --skill handoff --note "一句话用途"

# 删除/重命名 skill 后清理清单
python3 "$AUTOREVIEW_SYNC" --mode remove --skill my-skill

依赖 PyYAML(pip install pyyaml);缺失时脚本以退出码 2 给出安装提示。

外部项目来源

清单 sources: 只声明项目名(如 mattpocock-skills),条目用 source: <项目名> 指向它,绝不写机器绝对路径。外部项目里的 skill 约定位于 skills/<bucket>/<name> 且含 SKILL.md,脚本自动定位;同名出现在多个 bucket 视为歧义,保守失败。项目根按序解析:

  1. $SKILL_SOURCE_<NAME>_DIR(项目名大写、-_,如 SKILL_SOURCE_MATTPCOCK_SKILLS_DIR
  2. $SKILL_SOURCES_DIR/<项目名>
  3. 本仓库 checkout 的同级目录 <项目名>

解析不到时相关条目按 stale 报告,不自动 clone。其他电脑只需把外部项目 clone 到本仓库同级目录(或设置上述环境变量)即可复现同一套配置。

报告类型

类型 含义 apply 行为
ok 软链与清单一致
create 清单要求但本机缺失 创建软链
fix 软链指向本仓库内的错误位置(或死链) 修复为清单目标
extra 指向本仓库但不在清单里的软链 交互提示删除;k 写入白名单
conflict 目标位置被真实目录或指向其他仓库的同名链接占用 不动,报告后由用户手动裁决
stale 清单条目指向不存在的 skill 目录,或来源项目解析不到 不动,报告后用 --mode remove 或补目录/clone 项目

What ships with it

5 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.
