skill-finder

skill-finder is a skill for Codex from mahdisanagostar/chef. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,425 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automatic routing layer that selects the smallest useful set of specialist skills for a task and rechecks that choice when the task changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify tasks, choose and order skills, and decide when specialist guidance or verification is needed.
Why use it?
It helps an agent avoid missing a relevant skill or loading unnecessary ones before work begins.

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

skill-finder 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/quick_validate.py, scripts/sync_mirror.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Skill Finder

Mission

Use this as Chef's automatic routing layer.

Run it:

  • right after $chef-index for Codex work
  • before choosing specialist skills in Claude work
  • again whenever the task changes shape, artifact, or risk

The goal is not to list every possible skill. The goal is to engage the fewest skills that materially improve the work.

Fast Path

Do not force routing when the task is already small and obvious.

Skip specialist selection when:

  • the user asks for a trivial shell action or one-command lookup
  • the user names one exact skill or plugin route and no support changes execution
  • the current step is a tiny follow-up inside an already-correct skill lane

Default Behavior

For every non-trivial task:

  1. honor explicit skill, plugin, or app requests first
  2. classify the task
  3. pick one primary skill
  4. add at most one execution support and one verification support
  5. explain the choice in one short line
  6. re-run the check if scope shifts

If no specialist skill clearly helps, say so and continue without forcing one.

Classification Pass

Look at seven things first:

  1. intent build, review, debug, research, document, design, present, automate
  2. artifact code, UI, deck, doc, spreadsheet, repo config, workflow, knowledge base
  3. risk security, architecture, multi-module change, user-facing polish, external publish
  4. medium terminal, browser, slides, images, docs, video
  5. freshness whether direct graph read, live browsing, or current repo state matters
  6. host Codex runtime, Codex plugin, shared Chef skill, Claude skill
  7. explicit cues user-named skills, plugins, tools, output formats, or platforms

Use the matrix in references/selection-matrix.md when the answer is not obvious.

Routing Rules

1. Prefer one strong specialist

Pick narrowest skill that squarely matches task.

Good:

  • frontend request -> frontend-design
  • presentation request -> talkcraft
  • skill creation request -> skill-creator

What ships with it

5 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.
