import-skill

import-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rome-os/rome. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,441 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning a URL, pasted SKILL.md file, or plain-language idea into an installed Rome skill. It validates the result, shows a preview, and waits for approval before installation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import an existing skill from GitHub or another URL, validate pasted skill instructions, or create a skill from a described workflow.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of formatting and checking a skill before adding it. It also prevents installation without a clear go-ahead.

  • high Memory Poisoning · line 204
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 32
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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

import-skill 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 11d 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 — 210 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Import a skill

Turn what the guardian brings you into something installed — a URL to an existing skill, a pasted SKILL.md, or a description of one they wish existed. Brainstorm with them: propose, listen, revise. Don't install anything without getting a clear go-ahead.

Most of what you're handed is a plain skill for the user-skills carrier. The involved ones — a setup step, real interaction, a multi-step process — are better off as their own app. Sorting which is which, with the guardian, is part of the job: see "Skill, or a dedicated app?" before you install.

Classify the input

  • URL → see "Resolving a URL".
  • Pasted SKILL.md (frontmatter + body, or close to it) → validate, preview.
  • Description (prose, a wish, a workflow explained) → see "Generating".
  • Empty or ambiguous → ask one short question. Don't guess.

Resolving a URL

  • github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<path> → fetch the raw form https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<ref>/<path>.
  • github.com/<owner>/<repo>/tree/<ref>/<dir> → list it via https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents/<dir>?ref=<ref> and download the SKILL.md plus its auxiliary files.
  • Bare repo → look for SKILL.md at the root, then under skills/.
  • Anything else → fetch it; if it's skill-shaped, proceed; if it's prose describing a workflow, offer to generate a skill from it.

If the source holds more than one skill (several SKILL.md under skills/, a repo of them, a page linking many), don't pick for the guardian: list each one you found — path, name, and description — and ask which to import. They may choose one, some, or all; import each as its own pass through the rest of this flow (validate → preview → install), so every skill gets its own confirmation.

On a network error or 404, say so and ask for a corrected link.

Generating from a description

The guardian is the domain expert; you're the author. Ask at most 2–3 focused questions, only where the description is genuinely open:

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.
