skill-adopt

skill-adopt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from runxhq/runx. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A binding tool for adding a fixed third-party SKILL.md file to Runx without changing the original. It records the exact source, limits what the skill may access, and checks it with an isolated test harness.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to adopt a pinned external skill, define its inputs, outputs, tools, credentials, and environment, and verify it with mocked cases.
Why use it?
It prevents borrowed instructions from being treated as trusted native packages and makes their source and permissions explicit.

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

skill-adopt 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (overlay-binding.mjs, overlay-common.mjs, overlay-source.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Skill Adopt

Adopt a third-party skill without pretending that upstream prose is already a Runx package. Skill Adopt binds one immutable upstream SKILL.md to a least-authority execution profile under bindings/<owner>/<skill>/. The upstream manual remains unchanged and readable; the binding adds only the executable contract and provenance needed by Runx.

Use this for borrowed, pinned source. Use skill-build when Runx owns the skill, and use skill-review when the immediate job is assessment rather than binding.

Procedure

  1. Supply a local SKILL.md, pinned GitHub metadata, and registry metadata. Native fs.read contains and digests the file; the Overlay domain module validates frontmatter, commit and blob pins, URLs, and the source-of-truth assertion, including the Git blob SHA that ordinary SHA-256 cannot express.
  2. The builder reads the already bounded upstream manual from prepared context and authors one exact run.yaml: one runner with one agent step, exact inputs and outputs, least scopes, declared environment, credentials, allowed tools, and at least two mocked harness cases. Empty tool access is valid when the task needs no tools; it never means allow-all.
  3. Overlay forwards the unchanged upstream SKILL.md and the authored profile as one in-memory candidate. Native runx.skill.validate is the sole parser: it establishes the skill identity, validates the exact bytes, and runs the safe harness with isolated receipts and no operator credentials.
  4. Only a passing native report is assembled into binding.json. Native data.digest binds the exact profile and binding documents returned in the bundle. Apply them through the owning repository's normal authoring lane; publication and materialization remain separate operations.

The skill does not fetch an unpinned registry ref, edit the upstream skill, write repository files, publish a package, or claim provider verification. Missing source evidence, digest drift, invalid profile shape, or failed harness proof stops before a bundle is released. A failed run is safe to retry after correcting the source or profile because no workspace mutation has occurred.

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.

skill-adopt is a skill published in the GitHub repository runxhq/runx (103 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,019 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-14.
