These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

add-agent-templates 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 13d 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

Add Agent Templates

Purpose

This skill standardizes the process of adding new Agent templates to the meta-agent-skills framework. It ensures that new agents follow the required structure for automatic generation and skill binding by the Meta-Agent.

When to Use

  • When you want to add a new specialized agent (e.g., cloud-deployer-agent, perf-optimizer-agent) to the framework.
  • When you want to define a new set of capabilities that a subagent should possess.

Instructions

  1. Define Agent Persona:

    • Identify the agent's name (e.g., sre-agent).
    • Define its primary purpose and responsibilities.
  2. Select Required Skills:

    • List the skills from skills/meta-agent-skills/assets/templates/skills/ that this agent will need.
    • These should be listed in the YAML frontmatter.
  3. Use Boilerplate:

    • Read assets/agent-template-boilerplate.md for the standard structure.
    • Create a new file in skills/meta-agent-skills/assets/templates/agents/ named <agent-name>.md.
  4. Configure Template:

    • Fill in the YAML frontmatter (name, description, skills).
    • Use the <!-- SKILLS_START --> and <!-- SKILLS_END --> markers in the Capabilities section.
    • Refer to references/agent-conventions.md for detailed formatting rules.
  5. Register Capability:

    • Update the Capabilities Generated section in skills/meta-agent-skills/SKILL.md to include the new agent.
  6. Verify:

    • Ensure the template is readable and follows the format of existing agents like codebase-maintainer-agent.md.

What ships with it

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.
