skill-index-updater

skill-index-updater is a skill for Claude Code from luongnv89/asm. It costs 59 tokens per session (4,216 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow for adding GitHub repositories that contain agent skills to a curated skill catalogue. It clones and checks the repository, evaluates its skills, rebuilds the catalogue, and prepares a pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when onboarding one or more GitHub skill repositories, auditing their skill files, updating the index, and preparing the resulting catalogue changes.
Why use it?
It turns a repository URL into a checked, discoverable catalogue entry instead of requiring each skill to be added by hand.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.

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 B, and why

skill-index-updater scanned grade B 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.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf "<tempRoot>" # one per repo

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 301 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Index Updater

You are adding new skill repository sources to the ASM (Agent Skill Manager) curated index. This is the pipeline that powers the skill catalog at https://luongnv.com/asm/ — every repo you add here becomes discoverable and installable by thousands of users.

Example

User: add github.com/anthropics/skills to the index
Skill output:
  Step 1: Parsed 1 URL → anthropics/skills (NEW)
  Step 2: Discovered 14 SKILL.md files
  Step 3: Audit 13 OK / 1 WARN, eval scores 71–94
  Step 6–8: data/skill-index-resources.json + data/skill-index/anthropics_skills.json updated, catalog rebuilt
  Step 10: PR #312 opened — feat(index): add anthropics/skills (14 skills)

Repo Sync Before Edits (mandatory)

Before modifying any files, pull the latest remote branch:

branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"
git fetch origin
git pull --rebase origin "$branch"

If the working tree is dirty: stash, sync, then pop. If origin is missing or conflicts occur: stop and ask the user before continuing.

Prerequisites

Check each before Step 1. If one fails, stop and name it.

  • node (>= 22), jq, and git on PATH; npm install done in the repo, so npx tsx resolves
  • asm on PATH — the Step 3 workers run asm eval
  • gh auth status succeeds — Step 10 opens the PR
  • git status --porcelain -- website/ data/ prints nothing. Step 8 restores the tracked website/ files and data/repo-stars.json that build-catalog rewrites, which is safe only from a clean start.

Input

The user provides one or more GitHub repository URLs: https://github.com/owner/repo, github.com/owner/repo, github:owner/repo, or owner/repo. Normalize each to owner and repo.

Pipeline

Follow these steps in order. Each step has a verification check — do not proceed to the next step if verification fails.

You are the orchestrator. Steps 2 and 3 are the heavy ones, and you delegate both: each names the slice of references/ its worker needs and hands that slice over as the worker's Input. In those two steps you never clone a repo, read a SKILL.md, or run asm eval yourself, and you never open the two contract files — the workers do. This keeps the clones and contract text out of your context budget. (Step 7's manual-generation fallback is the one place you may call asm eval directly.)

Files

What ships with it

7 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.
