About the project

sanyuan-skills is a collection of reusable instructions, called agent skills, that extend Claude Code and other AI coding terminals with defined workflows. Developers use it for code review, learning, skill quality checks, skill creation, and organizing knowledge into wikis or study materials. The catalogue entries are individual skills from this collection.

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-review 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 13d 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.

Skill Review

IRON LAW: Be specific and actionable. Never say "could be improved" without stating exactly what to change and why it matters for model output quality.

Workflow

Skill Review Progress:

- [ ] Step 1: Load Target ⚠️ REQUIRED
  - [ ] 1.1 Identify skill path
  - [ ] 1.2 Read SKILL.md and inventory all files
- [ ] Step 2: Analyze ⚠️ REQUIRED
  - [ ] 2.1 Structure compliance
  - [ ] 2.2 Description quality
  - [ ] 2.3 Workflow design
  - [ ] 2.4 Token efficiency
  - [ ] 2.5 Anti-pattern detection
- [ ] Step 3: Report ⚠️ REQUIRED
  - [ ] 3.1 Strengths (what's done well)
  - [ ] 3.2 Suggestions (prioritized improvements)

Step 1: Load Target ⚠️ REQUIRED

Identify the skill to review. Accept:

  • Explicit path: /skill-review path/to/skill
  • Current directory context: if user is already in a skill folder
  • Skill name: search within the workspace for matching skill directory

Read the full SKILL.md and list all files in the skill directory. Count SKILL.md line count — this is a key metric.

Step 2: Analyze ⚠️ REQUIRED

Load references/review-criteria.md for detailed criteria. Evaluate the skill across five dimensions:

2.1 Structure Compliance

Questions to answer:

  • Does the directory follow the standard layout (SKILL.md, scripts/, references/, assets/)?
  • Is SKILL.md under 500 lines?
  • Does frontmatter contain only name and description (plus optional allowed-tools, license, metadata)?
  • Are there unnecessary files (README.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE duplicates)?
  • Are references organized by domain with one level of nesting?

2.2 Description Quality

Questions to answer:

  • Does the description include concrete trigger keywords and phrases?
  • Does it use keyword bombing (multiple phrasings of the same intent)?
  • Is it self-contained — can a router understand what this skill does without reading the body?
  • Does it avoid putting "When to Use" info in the body instead of the description?
  • Would a user's natural language query match this description?

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
