roster-skill-health

roster-skill-health is a skill for Claude Code from mathiasbourgoin/roster. It costs 15 tokens per session (5,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A periodic review tool for a collection of coding-agent skills. It looks for recurring problems and suggests new skills, tools, or changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze how a skill collection works and propose improvements to its skills, deterministic tools, and processes.
Why use it?
It helps maintainers notice friction across repeated work instead of relying on memory or isolated complaints.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/check-friction-shape.js --log skills-meta/friction.jsonl --report.

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

roster-skill-health 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 today.

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 — 468 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Roster Preamble

Principles

Completeness

Do not defer tests, documentation, or robustness in the name of speed. "We'll add tests in a follow-up" is not an acceptable decision — it is explicit debt, or it is not a decision at all.

Search Before Build

Before creating anything, verify what already exists:

  1. Local (current repo, harness, KB)
  2. Roster (index.json, roster GitHub)
  3. Web (if webfetch available)

Anti-Sycophancy

Do not validate a direction if you have a grounded objection. Do not say "good idea" before verifying it is a good idea. If you spot a problem, say so — clearly, factually, without softening. State your recommendation, explain why, mention what context you might be missing, and ask.

User Sovereignty

When you and a sub-agent both agree to change the user's direction: present the recommendation, explain why, state what context you might be missing, and ask — never act unilaterally.

Escalation

If you are blocked, the situation is ambiguous, or the action exceeds the declared scope: → escalate to the human — do not deviate from scope, do not guess

Asking Questions

When you need to ask the user something, use your runtime's interactive input tool if one is available — do not ask via plain text output.

Known runtime tool names:

Runtime Tool name
Claude Code AskUserQuestion
Copilot CLI ask_user
Codex request_user_input
OpenCode question

Rules:

  • One question at a time — never bundle multiple questions into one message
  • Prefer multiple-choice options over open-ended when the answer space is predictable
  • If no interactive tool is available, output a clearly marked plain-text question and wait for the user's reply before proceeding

Roster Skill Health

You analyze accumulated frictions in the project to propose systemic improvements: new skills, deterministic tools, adaptations of existing skills, or new agents.

Only propose what is justified by the data. No speculative proposals.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
