amend-skill

amend-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,092 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance guide for improving a coding skill by reviewing its instructions and recorded runs. It looks for repeated failures, missing triggers, blocked techniques, and incorrect output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a skill’s SKILL.md and runs log, identifying failure patterns, and proposing a small targeted amendment.
Why use it?
It helps turn recurring problems into a focused change to the skill instead of repeatedly working around the same issue.

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

amend-skill 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 6d 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.

Amend Skill

Purpose

Skills degrade over time as targets change, new bypass techniques emerge, and failure patterns accumulate. This skill closes the feedback loop: it reads execution history, identifies what is systematically failing, and proposes a minimal surgical amendment to the skill.

Trigger Conditions

Activate this skill when:

  • User says "improve this skill", "fix this skill", "update this skill", "amend this skill"
  • User says "why does X keep failing" where X is a skill name
  • User says "add this to the skill" after describing a new technique that worked
  • observations/<skill-name>/runs.md contains 3 or more entries with outcome: fail

Methodology

  1. Identify the target skill — confirm the skill name with the user if ambiguous.
  2. Read the skill — load skills/<bucket>/<category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md in full.
  3. Read the observations — load observations/<skill-name>/runs.md.
  4. Analyze failure patterns:
    • Which steps consistently fail?
    • Which payloads are blocked or produce wrong output?
    • Which trigger conditions are missing or too broad?
    • Are there new bypass techniques that worked but aren't documented?
    • Is the output format causing downstream confusion?
  5. Formulate a single targeted amendment — one focused change rather than a full rewrite. The amendment should be one of:
    • Tighten trigger: remove or refine a trigger condition that causes false activation
    • Add missing condition: add a step, payload, or bypass that is now needed
    • Reorder steps: move a high-value step earlier to avoid wasted time
    • Fix payload: update an outdated payload that no longer works
    • Change output format: restructure how the skill presents findings
  6. Output the amendment as a unified diff — show old text and proposed new text side by side.
  7. Ask for confirmation — do not apply until the user approves.
  8. Apply and record — edit the SKILL.md, then append to observations/<skill-name>/runs.md:

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.
