skill-template

skill-template is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ontology-of-everything/SemanticSkills. It costs 25 tokens per session (164 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A starter template for writing a coding-agent skill: a reusable set of instructions that tells an agent what a skill does and when to use it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or replacing a skill's description and instructions, including its triggers, working rules, and linked examples.
Why use it?
It gives new skills a consistent structure and helps agents recognize the right task keywords. The details can stay organized in reference files.

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

skill-template 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.

What it actually says

Skill title

Brief instructions. Move detailed reference material to references/.

Agent discipline

Path-changing ambiguity only; no re-asks on stated or settled facts; proceed when context suffices; one blocking question when user judgment is required. Mandatory domain clarifiers (scope, time, IDs) still apply—never as a questionnaire.

References

Example references/example.md
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
