sample

A template for creating reusable instruction sets that guide an AI coding agent through a specific task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a starting point when creating a new skill for an agent, including its inputs, workflow, examples, and output format.
Why use it?
It provides a basic structure for defining a skill’s purpose, steps, examples, and expected output. This helps turn repeated instructions into a consistent process.

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

sample 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 2d 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

Sample Skill

Purpose

This is a sample skill template for Axe. Skills are reusable instruction sets that guide AI agents in performing specific tasks. Use this template as a starting point for creating your own skills.

Instructions

  1. Define a clear, focused purpose for your skill.
  2. Write step-by-step instructions that an AI agent can follow.
  3. Be specific about inputs, constraints, and expected behavior.
  4. Include examples where helpful.

Output Format

Describe the expected structure and format of the skill's output. For example:

  • Format: Plain text, Markdown, JSON, etc.
  • Structure: Headings, bullet points, code blocks, etc.
  • Length: Approximate expected length or constraints.
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.

sample is a skill published in the GitHub repository jrswab/axe (836 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 152 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
