A template for creating a coding-agent skill with a description, authentication instructions, tools, inputs, outputs, and usage tips. It is an example structure rather than a fully defined working skill.

Use it as a skeleton when designing a new skill with scripts or another executable tool. More details would be needed to describe a particular task it performs.

It gives authors a starting format for documenting how a skill should work. The supplied description does not define a specific real capability beyond that template.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add initializ/forge --skill _template

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 12 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Security scan A 1 finding. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe. Third-party audits

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00012	$0.00528
Opus 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00211
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00106
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00053

Security

Grade A, and why

my-skill scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.

What it actually says

My Skill

Brief description of the skill's purpose, capabilities, and intended audience.

Authentication

Describe how credentials are obtained and configured.

export MY_API_KEY="your-key-here"

Quick Start

Script-backed execution

Place executable scripts in scripts/. The tool name maps to the script: underscores in the tool name become hyphens in the filename.

Example: tool my_search → scripts/my-search.sh

./scripts/my-search.sh '{"query": "hello"}'

Binary-backed execution

If the skill delegates to a compiled binary instead, delete the scripts/ directory entirely and document the binary in requires.bins above.

Tool: my_tool

Short description of what this tool does.

Input:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
query	string	yes	The search query
max_results	integer	no	Maximum results (1-20). Default: 5

Output: JSON object with results array of {title, url, content, score}.

Response Format

{
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Example",
      "url": "https://example.com",
      "content": "Relevant snippet...",
      "score": 0.95
    }
  ]
}

Tips

Tip 1 for effective usage
Tip 2 for edge cases

Safety Constraints

Document any safety rules this skill enforces (read-only, no secrets, etc.).

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.
