tidybot-skill-dev

tidybot-skill-dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TidyBot-Services/Tidybot-Universe. It costs 100 tokens per session (759 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development guide for creating and testing skills for Tidybot, a robot controlled through software. It covers how to build robot actions, try them out, and combine existing actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or improve Tidybot skills, run and record trials, debug skill execution, measure success rates, and decide whether to combine existing skills or write new ones.
Why use it?
It helps developers avoid guessing how the robot software works and reduces repeated work when tested skills can be combined. It also gives a way to track whether trials succeed or fail.

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

tidybot-skill-dev 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 10d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tidybot Skill Development

Before You Start

  1. Read the SDK guide first: GET http://<ROBOT_IP>:8080/docs/guide/html — do not guess or improvise. See robot-sdk-ref skill.
  2. Check existing skills: Fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tidybot-skills/wishlist/main/catalog.json. Use or extend what exists. Local skills use tb- prefix.
  3. Chain if possible. Use tidybot-bundle <skill-name> to combine skills. Estimate success = product of individual rates. Chaining tested skills is always preferable to untested new code.
  4. Build new only as last resort. Research first (internet, papers), then check services (see active-services skill).

Naming Convention

  • Robot skills use the tb- prefix: tb-pick-up-object, tb-center-object
  • In-development skills use the dev-tb- prefix: dev-tb-my-skill
  • Management/reference skills use the tidybot- prefix (you won't create these)

All new robot skills must start with tb- (or dev-tb- while in development).

Skill Structure (OpenClaw format)

dev-tb-my-skill/          # dev-tb- prefix while developing
├── SKILL.md              # Frontmatter (name, description) + instructions
└── scripts/
    ├── main.py           # Skill code (submitted to robot)
    └── deps.txt          # Dependencies (one tb-skill-name per line)

Developing

  1. Connect to the robot API using SDK guide patterns. Test sensor reads first.
  2. Prototype iteratively — use SDK methods (not invented ones), test on hardware, use rewind on failure.
  3. Save with dev-tb- prefix (e.g. dev-tb-my-skill/) and OpenClaw skill structure.

Testing & Trials

  1. Run the skill multiple times in varied conditions.
  2. Record success/failure per trial. Any code change resets stats — re-test from scratch.
  3. Debug with print() + poll /code/status?stdout_offset=N&stderr_offset=N. Prefer recorded frames over live camera.
  4. Max 10 trials/day per skill during heartbeat practice.
  5. Use rewind freely — it's your safety net.

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.
