nested-root-skill

An example skill placed directly inside a nested folder, one level below the main skills directory. It demonstrates a shallow nested layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a simple reference when organizing or testing nested skill directories.
Why use it?
It helps test whether a system supports skills stored at different folder depths instead of only in one fixed location.

Per session 18 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

nested-root-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 yesterday.

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

Nested Root Skill

This skill demonstrates that skills can exist at any level of the hierarchy.

Location: nested-example/SKILL.md Depth: 1 level from root (immediate subdirectory)

The nested structure supports flexible organization with skills at every level.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
