An example skill showing how a skill can be organized in nested folders up to three levels deep. It demonstrates discovery of a skill stored below the top-level directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for demonstrating nested skill layout, including a category and subcategory directory before the skill file.
Why use it?
It helps test or explain whether a skill system can find instructions in a deeper folder structure.

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-deep-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 3d 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

Nested Deep Skill

This skill demonstrates that skillkit can discover skills in nested subdirectories.

Location: category-a/subcategory-1/SKILL.md Depth: 3 levels from root

You can organize your skills in any nested structure up to 5 levels deep.

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.
