skill-repo-curator

skill-repo-curator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stark-ai-de/agent-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (869 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A maintenance guide for public repositories of Agent Skills, which are reusable instructions for coding agents. It checks the skill files, catalogue documentation, installation process, validation scripts, and release preparation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or release a skills repository, validate skill files, review install instructions, update the catalogue, and check readiness for npx skills installation.
Why use it?
It helps keep the published catalogue consistent with the files users install. It can reveal broken install commands, missing or deprecated entries, and differences between documentation and the repository.

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-repo-curator 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.

Skill Repo Curator

Goal

Keep a public Agent Skills repository coherent, installable, safe, and ready for users who install skills through npx skills.

When to use

  • The user asks to maintain or release a skills repository.
  • The README catalog may not match the skills/ tree.
  • Validation, deprecation, publishing, or install commands need review.

When not to use

  • The user wants to write a single skill; use skill-authoring-review.
  • The user wants install help only; use skill-installation-support.
  • The repository is not a skills repository and needs a general audit; use repo-health-audit.

Inputs

  • skills/**/SKILL.md
  • README.md, CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, and LICENSE
  • package.json, validation scripts, and CI workflows
  • Output from npm run validate, npm run list, and the local npx skills discovery command.

Inputs to inspect

  • Inspect the skill tree, catalog docs, validation scripts, ignored local helper installs, and install smoke-test output.
  • Check that upstream helper skills are installed project-locally rather than vendored into the public catalog.

Process

  1. Inspect the skill tree and top-level repository files.
  2. Run the local validation and listing commands when possible.
  3. Compare README catalog entries against discovered skills.
  4. Check install commands for <github-owner>/<repo> placeholders or final repository coordinates.
  5. Review changelog and release checklist when preparing a release.
  6. Apply deprecation policy before removing or replacing a skill.
  7. Report the exact validation status, drift, and next action.

Workflow

Follow the process above, fix structural drift first, then update catalog, changelog, and release notes.

Decision points

  • If a skill is obsolete, prefer deprecation over deletion.
  • If README and skill tree disagree, update the catalog or explain why the skill is intentionally hidden.
  • If validation fails, fix structural errors before content polish.
  • If project-local helper skills exist under .agents/skills/, use npx skills@latest add ./skills --list for local discovery so helper skills do not mask the publishable catalog.

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
