kelly-app-skill-creator is a skill for Codex from mr-kelly/skills. It costs 173 tokens per session (6,611 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A creator toolkit for building Busabase-backed skills with a built-in app interface. Busabase is the platform used to store the app’s data and deliver its AirApp web app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing the app’s pages and interactions, defining review and execution steps, adding responsive behavior and accessibility, and preparing the skill for AirApp delivery.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to turn a repeated human-and-agent task into a usable app, including its screens, workflow, and onboarding.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 279
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 375
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

kelly-app-skill-creator 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (assets/runtime-detection/check-rules.mjs, assets/runtime-detection/runtime.js, assets/runtime-detection/server-route.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Kelly App Skill Creator

Turn a recurring human-and-Agent operation into a Busabase-backed skill with a canonical Hono project whose normal delivery target is Busabase AirApp. Own the product workflow and the App-in-Skill artifact contract; delegate Busabase resource implementation and AirApp deployment mechanics.

Ownership Boundary

This skill is a taste layer over a format layer, and the split is what keeps both honest:

  • $busabase-app-creator (also published as busabase-skill-creator and busabase-template-creator — one skill, three names) owns everything that makes the artifact valid: the skill/template/package format, AirApp runtime language, framework, server shape, dependency and SDK constraints, security boundaries, validation, sync, and deployment mechanics. Its own contract says it is "format and correctness, not taste" — it deliberately carries no visual opinions, so this layer can.
  • This skill owns everything that makes the artifact Kelly's: product behavior, information architecture, visible UI, layout, interaction patterns, responsive behavior, accessibility, Help & Settings, hash routing, and visual acceptance for every generated app. Creating the underlying artifact is that skill's package-first route (§ "Two Ways In" there) with this skill's UI contract applied on top.
  • $kelly-app-skill-creator-tests owns repository-level conformance, process, responsive browser, OSS Busabase, Cloud OAuth, persistence, and AirApp parity tests for the generated app.
  • Do not delegate Kelly UI decisions to $busabase-app-creator, and do not let a runtime scaffold replace or weaken this skill's desktop or phone shell.
  • Do not restate AirApp runtime limits here. When a runtime rule affects UI implementation, satisfy it inside the UI contract rather than creating a competing runtime contract.

Mandatory Dependencies

Before creating or changing an app:

  1. Read and follow $busabase for connection, target Space, node discovery, ChangeRequests, review, merge, and trusted mutations.
  2. Read and follow $busabase-app-creator for resource modeling, native Views, Vault boundaries, AirApp constraints, scaffolding, validation, sync, and deployment. Creating an app-skill takes its package-first route — that skill's own guidance already routes a skill there, because a skill carrying an app is a template. The artifact is authored as a template package and verified by installing it; this skill's UI contract governs what the app inside it looks like.
