skillit-bootstrap

skillit-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pradeepmouli/skillit. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,706 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for generating an AI-agent skill from a TypeScript project by repeatedly checking its source documentation and configuration. It supports command-line tools, TypeScript libraries, configuration types, and MCP servers (services that agents can call).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve JSDoc comments, README text, examples, package metadata, configuration descriptions, or MCP tool annotations before regenerating a skill.
Why use it?
It helps fix gaps that would make the generated skill unclear or score below its target. Changes are made to the project source, while the generated skill files are left for the tool to create.

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

skillit-bootstrap 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.

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

skillit-bootstrap

Bootstrap a high-quality AI-agent skill from a TypeScript codebase. You run the deterministic skillit pipeline, read its machine-readable findings, and enrich the repo source (JSDoc, README, examples, package.json) until the generated skill reaches its grade target. skillit owns the skill output; you own the inputs.

The one hard rule

Never create or edit any SKILL.md or references/*.md for the target project. Those are pure outputs of skillit gen — regenerated every pass. You edit only repo source surfaces. If you find yourself about to write a SKILL.md, stop: the fix belongs in the source the skill is generated from.

When to use

  • A cli (Commander), typedoc (TypeScript library), config (a TypeScript config type), or mcp (an MCP server whose TS source you own — "build mode") project that needs a generated agent skill, or whose skill scores below its grade target.
  • Run after the project is set up with the right @skillit/* package (see step 1).
  • Third-party MCP servers you cannot edit are out of scope here: with no editable source, the skill is produced from an overlay ("runtime mode") via skillit refine. This loop targets the build-mode (own-source) path. See references/surface-routing.md.

Inputs

/skillit-bootstrap [--source cli|typedoc|config|mcp] [--program <file#export>]
                   [--config-type <file#export>] [--mcp <path>] [--server <name>]
                   [--out <dir>] [--grade A|B|C] [--max-iterations <n>]
                   [--ground <glob>...]
  • --source — override detection (cli, typedoc, config, or mcp).
  • --program — Commander program entry for the cli source (./dist/cli.js#program).
  • --config-type — config type entry for the config source (./src/config.ts#MyConfig).
  • --mcp — path to mcp.json / MCP config file (mcp source).
  • --server — MCP server entry to select when the config lists several (mcp source).
  • --out — skill output dir (default skills).
  • --grade — override the kind-aware target (below).
  • --max-iterations — hard cap on enrich/regenerate passes (default 5).
  • --ground <glob> — consumer/implementation code you MUST read before writing any runtime-behavior pitfall, so your claims reflect real behavior, not guesses.

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.
