skills-load

skills-load is a skill for Claude Code from idan-yaron/claude-cowork-skills-toolkit. It costs 92 tokens per session (3,278 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for importing skills from a GitHub repository and packaging selected ones into one installable plugin. GitHub is a service where developers host and share code repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when given a GitHub repository containing skills, to inspect its catalog, resolve dependencies, and build a plugin file.
Why use it?
It bundles related skills and their dependencies so they can be installed together and used in the current session.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

skills-load 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check-installed.sh, scripts/discover-skills.sh, scripts/fetch-repo.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 344 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Load Skills from GitHub

Fetch a GitHub repo, show its skill catalog, resolve dependencies, and package selected skills as a single .plugin file that installs into Cowork with one click.

How it works

Cowork's plugin system accepts .plugin files (ZIP archives with a standard directory layout). When presented via mcp__cowork__present_files, Cowork renders a rich preview with an "Save plugin" button. Clicking it installs the entire plugin — all skills appear in the / menu immediately, mid-session.

This is better than installing skills individually because:

  • One click installs everything (not N clicks for N skills)
  • Dependencies stay bundled together as a coherent package
  • The plugin can be shared as a single file

Skills are also injected into the conversation for immediate use, even before the user clicks Save plugin.

VM constraints

  • Bash runs in an isolated Linux VM — use for cloning repos and building ZIPs.
  • Write tool bridges to the HOST filesystem.
  • Host paths like ~/AppData/... don't exist inside the VM.

Step 1: Parse the URL

Extract the GitHub URL from $ARGUMENTS. Handle these formats:

  • https://github.com/owner/repo
  • https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/branch
  • https://github.com/owner/repo/tree/branch/path/to/subdir
  • github.com/owner/repo (no protocol)
  • [email protected]:owner/repo.git (SSH)

Extract owner and repo from the URL — you'll use repo as the default plugin name (kebab-case, lowercase). If no valid URL, ask the user.

Sanitize the repo name: only a-z, 0-9, and hyphens. Strip anything else.

Step 2: Fetch the repository

FETCH_JSON=$(bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/skills-load/scripts/fetch-repo.sh" "<github-url>" "<branch-if-any>")

fetch-repo.sh outputs JSON with four fields: path, branch, subpath, sha. Parse them all — path is needed for skill discovery, the other three are carried through to the plugin manifest as source provenance so /skills-update can later refresh against the SAME branch and do fast-path SHA comparisons.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
