_template

_template is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shubham0704/claude-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (596 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A starter template for writing a skill's instructions, including what it does, when to use it, its workflow, checks, and supporting files. The input does not describe a specific finished add-on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or organizing instructions for a new coding-agent skill, especially one with workflows, checklists, references, scripts, or templates.
Why use it?
It gives authors a structure for documenting a skill instead of starting with a blank page. It also highlights the information users or an AI assistant need to know when the skill should run.

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

_template 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 12d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

_template

Replace this with a 1–3 sentence summary of what this skill helps Claude do. Keep it tight — the full reasoning belongs below, not here.

1. Workflow

Start with the end-to-end workflow. Imperative style. Short sections. Give the reader (Claude) enough structure that they can scan for the step they need.

1.1 Setup (if any)

1.2 Main loop

1.3 Hand-off / completion criteria

2. Core content

The bulk of the skill. For review-style skills, this is typically a numbered list of failure modes and canonical fixes. For building- style skills, it's usually a sequence of phases with decision criteria. For writing-style skills, it's sections + patterns.

Use sub-sections freely. Keep any single section short enough to scan.

3. Checklist / decision points

If this skill has a checklist, rubric, or review order, put it here so it's findable. Otherwise delete this section.

4. Bundled resources

  • references/ — docs loaded on-demand when the body points at them
  • scripts/ — executable utilities (if any)
  • assets/ — templates/fixtures used in output

If a section of this skill is long, move it to references/ and point here with a sentence like "See references/snippets.md for copy-paste patterns."

5. Pitfalls

List of things to watch out for. One bullet each, imperative mood.


Notes for skill authors

When creating a skill from this template:

  1. Pick a kebab-case directory name. Rename the directory, not just the frontmatter.
  2. Fill in name: and description: in the frontmatter. Make the description pushy — mention specific trigger contexts beyond the obvious ones, including related phrases the user might say.
  3. Start at version: 0.1.0 (initial draft) or 1.0.0 (first stable release you're willing to recommend to others).
  4. Keep this file under ~500 lines. Push overflow into references/, scripts/, or assets/.
  5. Create a CHANGELOG.md alongside this file (see _template/) and log your first entry.
  6. Delete this "Notes for skill authors" section from your final skill.

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.
