authoring

authoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OdradekAI/bundles-forge. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,628 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A writing guide for creating or improving skill instructions and agent definitions in bundle-plugin projects. It focuses on making instructions easy for coding agents to find, load, and follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write new SKILL.md files, complete agent definitions, adapt existing instructions, and improve their clarity and efficiency.
Why use it?
It helps turn incomplete or unclear instructions into content that agents can reliably trigger and use without conflicting guidance.

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

authoring 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Authoring Skill Content

Overview

Guide the authoring of effective SKILL.md files, agent definitions (agents/*.md), and supporting resources within a bundle-plugin. Good content is the difference between skills that agents consistently find and follow — and ones that get ignored or misinterpreted.

Core principle: Write for the agent's experience. Every instruction should be discoverable (good description), loadable (right size), and followable (clear, motivated instructions). Skills are the first-class source of truth in a bundle-plugin — docs and README must not contradict skill content (see bundles-forge:auditingreferences/source-of-truth-policy.md).

Skill type: Hybrid — follow the execution flow rigidly (Entry Detection → Path steps → Validation), but apply writing guidance flexibly based on context. The process is discipline-enforcing; the content decisions are pattern-based.

Announce at start: "I'm using the authoring skill to help [write / complete / improve / adapt] [skill / agent] content."

Entry Detection

Determine the authoring path from context:

Context Path
skill-inventory from blueprinting, or user requests writing new SKILL.md / agent definition from scratch Path 1: New Content
User provides an existing/external skill to add into a project, or asks to adapt a skill to match project conventions Path 2: Integrate Content
scaffold-output directories exist but SKILL.md body has < 10 non-empty lines Path 3: Complete Content
User provides existing in-project skill-md to improve, or optimization-spec from optimizing with specific changes Path 4: Improve Content

When the target is an agent definition (agents/*.md) rather than a skill, follow the same path logic but use the agent authoring conventions from references/agent-authoring-guide.md.

Step 0: Project Context (all paths)

Before writing any content, verify scope and detect the project context:

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.

authoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository OdradekAI/bundles-forge (230 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 2,628 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
