About the project

AI Agent Skills is a curated library and package manager for installing, organizing, and creating skills for compatible AI coding agents. It is for developers who want to manage reusable agent instructions through a command-line or terminal interface. The catalogue skills and agents are examples of the kind of add-ons it helps manage.

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

review-a-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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review A Skill

Goal

Evaluate a single skill's quality, relevance, and safety before it enters or stays in a library.

Guardrails

  • Always use --format json for machine-readable output in automated pipelines.
  • Always use --fields to limit output size when inspecting catalog entries.
  • Always use --dry-run before curating or removing a skill.
  • Never remove a skill without first checking if other skills depend on it via info --format json dependencies.

Workflow

  1. Preview the skill content to check for quality and safety.
npx ai-agent-skills preview <skill-name>

The preview command sanitizes content — if it flags sanitization, investigate before proceeding.

  1. Inspect the catalog entry for metadata completeness.
npx ai-agent-skills info <skill-name> --format json --fields name,description,tags,collections,dependencies
  1. Validate the skill's SKILL.md structure.
npx ai-agent-skills validate <skill-name>
  1. If the skill needs curation (notes, collections, verification):
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --notes "Reviewed: solid patterns" --verify --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --notes "Reviewed: solid patterns" --verify
  1. If the skill should be removed:
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --remove --dry-run
npx ai-agent-skills curate <skill-name> --remove --yes

Decision Criteria

  • Keep: Clear description, valid frontmatter, useful to the library's audience, no injection patterns.
  • Curate: Needs better whyHere, collection placement, or verification status.
  • Remove: Duplicate, outdated, broken source, or contains suspicious content.

Gotchas

  • The preview command only works for vendored (house) skills. Upstream skills show description and whyHere only.
  • The validate command checks frontmatter structure but not content quality — that requires human or agent judgment.
  • Removing a skill that other skills depend on will break the dependency graph. Always check dependencies.usedBy first.

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.
