skillit-refine

skillit-refine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pradeepmouli/skillit. It costs 47 tokens per session (433 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that repeatedly audits and drafts improvements for an MCP skill. MCP is a standard way for an agent to use tools provided by another program or service.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for refining a skill in build or runtime mode from an MCP configuration, with optional source files, overlays, iteration limits, and work-item limits.
Why use it?
It gives skill improvements a defined review cycle instead of relying on one unstructured rewrite.

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-refine 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 2mo 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.

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.
