toolhive-studio: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/skill-editor/SKILL.md

skill-editor is a skill for Claude Code from stacklok/toolhive-studio. It costs 40 tokens per session (445 once invoked), scanned D, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for editing existing AI-agent skill files while keeping their copies synchronized across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing a skill's description, instructions, or other files, then copying and checking the result across all three agent directories.
Why use it?
It prevents one agent's version from becoming different from the others and defines which copy is the source of truth.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; reads ~/.codex paths; mentions Codex.

This is stacklok/toolhive-studio's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on toolhive-studio itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything toolhive-studio configures →

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 D, and why

skill-editor scanned grade D with 2 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Skill Editor

Edit existing AI agent skills while keeping Claude, Codex, and Cursor in sync.

Workflow

  1. Always edit Claude first - .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md is the canonical source
  2. Replicate with CLI - Copy changes to .codex/skills/ and .cursor/skills/
  3. Never edit Codex/Cursor directly - They are copies of Claude's version

Finding Existing Skills

List all skills:

ls -la .claude/skills/

Read a skill:

cat .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

Editing a Skill

  1. Read the current skill content from .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
  2. Make the requested changes
  3. Replicate to other agents:
    cp .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md .codex/skills/<name>/
    cp .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md .cursor/skills/<name>/
    

Verification

Always verify sync after editing:

diff .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md .codex/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
diff .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md .cursor/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

No output means files are identical.

Common Edits

  • Update description - Improve auto-discovery keywords
  • Add instructions - Expand the skill's capabilities
  • Fix errors - Correct mistakes in the skill logic
  • Add references - Create references/ directory for supporting docs

Deleting a Skill

Remove from all three locations:

rm -rf .claude/skills/<name> .codex/skills/<name> .cursor/skills/<name>
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.
