too-deep-skill

too-deep-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lorem-dev/skillkeeper-test-repo. It costs 19 tokens per session (547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test fixture placed too deeply in a folder hierarchy for automatic skill discovery. Its expected behavior is to produce a warning and not install the skill.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test maximum nesting rules, unresolved-path warnings, and whether other valid skills continue to be discovered.
Why use it?
It checks that the resolver does not guess at unsupported folder groups or silently install an incorrectly located add-on.

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

too-deep-skill 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

too-deep-skill

This skill is expected to fail resolution. It is a negative fixture.

It sits five path segments below the repository root (deep-nesting/l2/l3/l4/too-deep-skill/SKILL.md) - four group levels plus the skill directory. Auto-detection scans at most four levels: depth 1 for ungrouped skills, depths 2 through 4 for grouped ones, so a group path carries at most three segments. Anything deeper is reported rather than guessed at.

Expected behaviour

The core resolver returns one warning naming this path, along the lines of:

Unresolved SKILL.md at "deep-nesting/l2/l3/l4/too-deep-skill": nesting is
deeper than 3 group levels; declare it in skillkeeper.repo.yaml to install it.

The important half is what does not happen: SkillKeeper does not silently invent a group (deep-nesting, deep-nesting/l2, deep-nesting/l2/l3, or deep-nesting/l2/l3/l4) and install the skill anyway. A warning plus no install is the correct outcome.

The other twenty-four resolvable skills in this repository must still resolve normally. One unresolvable path never fails the rest of the listing.

The warning reaches standard error, prefixed with the repository name, on any command that resolves skills - including a successful install of a different skill. Installing this one by name prints the warning and then Skill not found in any tracked repository: too-deep-skill, exiting 1.

The escape hatch

An explicit path in skillkeeper.repo.yaml reaches any depth. See skillkeeper.repo.yaml.example at the repository root, which declares exactly this path and renames it to rescued/rescued-skill. Rename that file to skillkeeper.repo.yaml and this skill becomes installable - at the cost of switching the whole repository to config-authoritative mode, where auto-detection is skipped and only declared paths resolve.

If this fixture is in the way

deep-nesting/ is one of the two unresolvable paths in this repository; the other is requires/invalid-strict, which fails for an unrelated reason. Delete this directory and every other SKILL.md except that one resolves.

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.
