curate-skills

curate-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ProsusAI/prism. It costs 151 tokens per session (1,881 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A quality review for skills extracted from conversation history or a codebase. It tests each skill and recommends keeping, deleting, merging, or rewriting it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review extracted skill files and create a curation report for developer approval.
Why use it?
It helps remove duplicate, weak, or unclear skills after an extraction process. It produces a report before any files are changed.

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

curate-skills 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 10d 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 — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to use this skill

Post-extraction cleanup pass over _analysis/extracted_skills_history/ and _analysis/extracted_skills_codebase/. Applies three tests to every existing skill and proposes one of four actions: keep, delete, merge, or rewrite. Produces a curation report and waits for developer confirmation before making any file changes.


Step 1 — Read all extracted skills

Read every SKILL.md file under _analysis/extracted_skills_history/ and _analysis/extracted_skills_codebase/. If both directories are absent or empty, stop:

"No skills found in _analysis/extracted_skills_history/ or _analysis/extracted_skills_codebase/. Run /run-history-pipeline (Claude Code) or @run-history-pipeline (Cursor), or /run-analysis-pipeline (Claude Code) or @run-analysis-pipeline (Cursor), first."

For each skill, record:

  • Name and file path (including which directory it came from)
  • Description (the full description field — this determines when the skill loads)
  • Format: failure-mode skill OR key-decisions skill
  • The list of key decisions or failure modes (titles only)
  • Status

Do not summarize or collapse at this stage — you need the full content of each skill to apply the tests.


Step 2 — Apply Test 1: Would Claude already know this?

For each skill independently, ask: can the correct decision be derived from official documentation, standard programming principles, or general production engineering knowledge — without having encountered this failure in production?

Apply these three concrete checks:

  1. Documentation check — is this behavior explicitly covered in the library or framework's official docs, migration guide, or getting-started tutorial? If the docs say "do X in this situation", the skill adds no value.

  2. First-principles check — is this a standard pattern any experienced developer would reach by reasoning? Examples of things Claude already knows: connection pool lifecycle (close() clears a reference, not the pool), async isolation via ContextVar, fail-open for cache reads, RAII patterns, thread-safety in global state.

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.

curate-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository ProsusAI/prism (20 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 1,881 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
