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-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 1mo 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 — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Creator

Purpose

Author a new Agent skill that fits this repository's conventions and ships ready for review.

Focus on:

  • consistent frontmatter and section layout
  • behavior aligned with skill-check.config.json limits
  • clear Use when, Execution, and Done when sections
  • no duplication with existing skills

Constraints

  • Apply @rules/php/core-standards.mdc only once it is established that the skill being created targets PHP code work in a PHP project — skip it for a stack-agnostic or non-PHP skill; do not load the PHP standards when the new skill does not touch PHP.
  • Apply @rules/git/general.mdc
  • Output must be in English
  • Do not modify other skills, rules, or production code
  • Do not duplicate an existing skill — extend or refactor instead
  • Never add behavior beyond what the requested skill needs

Use when

  • A new Agent skill must be added to skills/ for an AI agent workflow
  • An existing workflow that lives only in chat history should be promoted to a reusable skill
  • The user asks to "create a skill", "add a skill", or "scaffold a skill"

Inputs the agent must collect

Before generating any file, gather:

  • Skill name — kebab-case, ≤ 64 chars, unique under skills/
  • Purpose — one sentence describing what the skill does
  • Trigger phrase — the "Use when …" wording for the description
  • Scope — read-only review, code change, refactor, delivery, or other
  • Required rules — which rules/**/*.md* files the skill must apply
  • Integrations — issue tracker, GitHub, MySQL, Telescope, etc. (or none)
  • Output expectations — markdown report, code change, PR comment, etc.

If running interactively, confirm the inputs with the user. If running autonomously (e.g. invoked by resolve-issue or a scheduled workflow), infer the inputs from the triggering issue / PR description and state the assumptions in the final summary.


Execution

1. Discover existing skills

  • List skills/ and read any skill whose name overlaps semantically with the request.
  • If an existing skill already covers the workflow, stop and propose an update to that skill instead of creating a new one.

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.
