generate-skill

generate-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TanStack/intent. It costs 72 tokens per session (2,405 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for generating a complete SKILL.md file for a coding-agent skill from library documentation and related planning files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a skill for a new library, regenerate one after source changes, or build one from a skill-tree entry or raw documentation.
Why use it?
It converts source material into instructions an AI coding agent can load and follow, including cases where the library is organized as a monorepo.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

generate-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 21d 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 — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Author and maintain library skills

Work in the maintainer's library repository with their existing coding agent. Produce a source-grounded skill batch or focused update with task checks, a cumulative planning record, and a compact review. Intent supplies the procedure and deterministic evidence; your agent performs the authoring work.

1. Recover the task and choose the workflow

Use the current conversation, supplied diff, identified code/docs change, review report, or selected skill tree entry. Reuse the task, decisions, and evidence already established in this session; do not ask the maintainer to paste them again. Identify what developers need help doing and which package owns that task. If there is no usable task or review input, ask one question: “What do developers need help doing with this library?” Wait for the answer.

Check repository instructions and Git status before edits; preserve unrelated changes. Read maintainer commands when setting up the repository, adding a skill, or preparing a batch for review. When installing or updating CI, read workflow security before changing pins, triggers, or permissions. Use those commands for registration, metadata synchronization, and completion checks. Discover the package name, version, repository, skill root, and vocabulary from the repository. Use an established custom root; otherwise use skills/ inside the owning package, including in monorepos.

Before choosing or changing repository exports, follow repository distribution. For an export-only change, complete that procedure against existing skill records; use the authoring steps below only if guidance must change.

For an initial skill set or a request spanning several developer tasks, read initial batches. Reuse scope already approved in the conversation. For one concrete task, proceed directly below. During ordinary library work, keep the code change as the primary task. Read source review to identify affected guidance from actual changes and record completed reviews before handing off any of these workflows.

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.
