example-command

An example of a user-invoked skill, showing how a skill folder and its instruction file are arranged. It demonstrates settings such as its name, description, argument hint, allowed tools, and model choice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a template when learning how to structure a skill, define its front matter, accept arguments, and invoke allowed tools.
Why use it?
It gives developers a small reference for understanding or building skills in this format. It does not describe a production task beyond parsing an argument and following instructions.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

example-command 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to example-command — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Example Command (Skill Format)

This demonstrates the skills/<name>/SKILL.md layout for user-invoked slash commands. It is functionally identical to the legacy commands/example-command.md format — both are loaded the same way; only the file layout differs.

Arguments

The user invoked this with: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

When this skill is invoked:

  1. Parse the arguments provided by the user
  2. Perform the requested action using allowed tools
  3. Report results back to the user

Frontmatter Options Reference

Skills in this layout support these frontmatter fields:

  • name: Skill identifier (matches directory name)
  • description: Short description shown in /help
  • argument-hint: Hints for command arguments shown to user
  • allowed-tools: Pre-approved tools for this skill (reduces permission prompts)
  • model: Override the model (e.g., "haiku", "sonnet", "opus")

Example Usage

/example-command my-argument
/example-command arg1 arg2
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.
