skill-perfection

skill-perfection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from postindustria-tech/agentic-toolkit. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,635 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of skill-perfection, MIT.

A skill-review process that checks a skill and fixes problems during the same pass. It includes an optional preflight check for Python-heavy skills, followed by an audit and spot verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing and improving skill files, correcting Python syntax problems when relevant, checking instructions and examples, and confirming the fixes with focused verification.
Why use it?
It avoids leaving identified errors for a separate repair cycle. It helps distinguish clear syntax failures from issues that need a broader review.

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-perfection 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/preflight.py), 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.

Skill Perfection

A systematic process for auditing and fixing plugin skills in a single pass.

Core Principle

Audit + Fix in One Pass: When you find an issue, fix it immediately, then continue. This eliminates redundant research and multiple iterations.

Process Overview

[Optional Preflight] → Audit+Fix (single pass) → Verify (spot-check) → Report

Phase 1: Preflight (Optional, Advisory)

A Python-based preflight script is bundled for Python-heavy skills only.

When to Use Preflight

Skill Content Use Preflight?
Mostly Python code blocks ✅ Yes
Mixed Python + other languages ⚠️ Optional (Python blocks only)
Non-Python (JS, Rust, Go, etc.) ❌ Skip, go to Phase 2
Skill about the preflight script itself ❌ Skip (conflict of interest)

Running Preflight

uv run python ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/preflight.py <path-to-skill.md> --no-urls

Interpreting Results

Result Action
✅ PASSED Good signal. Proceed to Phase 2, trust syntax is valid.
❌ FAILED with clear errors (syntax error at line X) Fix those specific issues, then proceed to Phase 2.
❌ FAILED with confusing/many errors Ignore preflight entirely. Proceed to Phase 2, let LLM verify.
Script crashes or hangs Ignore preflight entirely. Proceed to Phase 2.

Key Rule: Preflight is Advisory

The preflight script is a helper, not a gatekeeper. If it produces confusing output, skip it. The LLM-based Phase 2 is always authoritative.

Signs to ignore preflight:

  • More than 10 errors on a skill that "looks fine"
  • Errors that don't make sense (line numbers don't match)
  • Python tracebacks from the script itself
  • Timeouts or hanging

When in doubt, skip preflight and let the LLM verify everything.

Phase 2: Audit + Fix (Single Pass) - THE CORE

This is the main phase. Work through the skill file section by section.

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.
