csswitch-external-skill-tools

A routing guide for installing or removing external skills in CSSwitch-managed Claude Science environments. An external skill is an add-on brought in from another source.

In plain words
What is it for?
It routes installation, import, uninstallation, removal, and deletion requests to CSSwitch's external-skill installer using the exact URL supplied by the user.
Why use it?
It prevents external-skill changes from using the wrong workflow or source-handling method.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

csswitch-external-skill-tools 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 yesterday.

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 — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CSSwitch external Skill tools

This Skill only routes external Skill operations. It is not an authoring or publishing workflow. For every request in scope, use the CSSwitch external Skill connector and its matching tool. Do not load customize.

Install or import

  1. Accept a public GitHub repository root, ref root, Plugin/Skill collection, or exact Skill directory URL. Preserve it exactly. If the user supplied only a name, ask for the URL; do not search for or guess a source.
  2. Load the generated connector Skill mcp-csswitch-skill-installer.
  3. Follow that connector's API and call install_external_skill with the exact source_url. The equivalent REPL call is:
host.mcp(
    "csswitch-skill-installer",
    "install_external_skill",
    source_url=source_url,
)

Never call host.skills.edit or host.skills.publish as a fallback. Never use Add Skill ZIP or marketplace.importSkills as a fallback. Never download the Skill yourself, use shell/Python filesystem APIs, use a GitHub credential, or pass staged files to CSSwitch. The CSSwitch host owns URL resolution, one-archive download, validation, atomic commit, and OPERON attachment. Repository and collection URLs may install a Nature-like bundle; this installs only its Skill collection and support resources, not hooks, MCP, agents, or a complete Claude Plugin runtime.

Exact-plan confirmation for one fixed-commit Skill

When the user asks to review and explicitly confirm a single-Skill install, and the supplied source_url already contains a 40-hex GitHub commit SHA, first request a plan without downloading or installing anything into Science:

planned = host.mcp(
    "csswitch-skill-installer",
    "install_external_skill",
    source_url=source_url,
    confirmation={"schema_version": 1, "action": "plan"},
)

If it returns CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED, show the user its exact source, complete effects, plan_digest, expiry, and any degradation. Host access approval is not the user's confirmation of those effects. Only after an explicit approval, call once with the returned values unchanged:

Files

What ships with it

4 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.
