Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is run: ./tests/test-suite.sh.

Good fit Use it when publishing open-source tools, libraries, educational examples, or automation projects.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

public-repo-creation 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 9d 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.

Public Repository Creation

Create production-ready public GitHub repositories with comprehensive documentation, automated setup scripts, templates, and quality assurance processes.

When to Use

  • Creating new open-source projects
  • Publishing tools, libraries, or frameworks
  • Building educational resources or examples
  • Sharing integrations or automation scripts
  • Any public-facing repository that needs professional polish

Core Components

1. Documentation Files (Required)

README.md (comprehensive):

  • Clear title with emoji
  • Badges (license, stars, build status)
  • "What is This?" section
  • Features (with subsections)
  • Quick start (5-10 minutes)
  • Manual setup (step-by-step)
  • Example workflows
  • Architecture diagram (ASCII or image)
  • Folder structure
  • Use cases
  • Advanced features
  • Performance metrics (if applicable)
  • Contributing section
  • License section
  • Credits
  • Support section

LICENSE (required):

  • MIT recommended for maximum adoption
  • Include copyright year and author

CONTRIBUTING.md:

  • Quick start for contributors
  • Code style guidelines
  • Commit message format
  • PR process
  • Bug report template
  • Feature request template

TROUBLESHOOTING.md:

  • Installation issues (5+ solutions)
  • Runtime issues (4+ solutions)
  • Common errors with fixes
  • Verification checklist

CHECKLIST.md (optional but recommended):

  • Pre-installation checks
  • Post-installation verification (10+ steps)
  • Functional tests
  • Success criteria

2. Automated Setup Script

setup.sh (or equivalent):

  • Shebang (#!/bin/bash)
  • Error handling (set -e)
  • Prerequisites check
  • Interactive prompts (with defaults)
  • Conditional logic (skip if already installed)
  • Fallback mechanisms
  • Progress indicators
  • Summary output
  • Comments for each section

Critical Patterns:

# Prevent duplicate entries in config files
if ! grep -q "PATTERN" ~/.config 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "NEW_LINE" >> ~/.config
else
    sed -i "s|OLD_PATTERN|NEW_PATTERN|" ~/.config
fi

# Variable expansion in heredocs
cat > file.txt << EOF  # NO quotes for expansion
date: $(date +%Y-%m-%d)
EOF

# Fallback mechanism
if command_from_internet; then
    echo "✅ Installed from source"
else
    echo "⚠️  Source failed, using bundled copy..."
    cp -r bundled/ destination/
fi

Files

What ships with it

4 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.
