skill-name

skill-name is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shawnla90/recursive-drift. It costs 16 tokens per session (148 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template for writing instructions for a coding-agent skill. It describes when the skill runs, what steps it follows, what it produces, and which rules it must obey.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a starting point when defining a skill's trigger conditions, workflow, output location or format, and constraints.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent structure for documenting a new skill, so its purpose and expected behavior are clear. The supplied details are too limited to say more about its runtime behavior.

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-name 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 1mo 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.

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.
