auto-skill

auto-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,368 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of claude-skills, MIT.

A meta-skill for turning documentation, APIs, code, or specifications into reusable agent skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or refactor a SKILL.md, organize reference material, add scripts or templates, define boundaries, and introduce validation or quality checks.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable structure and clear activation rules when useful domain knowledge is scattered or an existing skill is hard to use correctly.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Not installable on its own: it runs a file from its repository that does not travel with it. Clone the repository, or install whatever ships that file. The line is ./skills/auto-skill/scripts/skill-seekers.sh -- scrape --config ./skills/auto-skill/scripts/Skill_Seekers-development/configs/react.json.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

auto-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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/create-skill.sh, scripts/skill-seekers-bootstrap.sh, scripts/skill-seekers-import.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to claude-skills — 57 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 280 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auto Skill

Turn scattered domain material into a Skill that is reusable, maintainable, and reliably activatable:

  • SKILL.md as the entrypoint (triggers, constraints, patterns, examples)
  • references/ for long-form evidence and navigation
  • optional scripts/ and assets/ for scaffolding and templates

When to Use This Skill

Trigger this meta-skill when you need to:

  • Create a new Skill from scratch from docs/specs/repos
  • Refactor an existing Skill (too long, unclear, inconsistent, misfires)
  • Design reliable activation (frontmatter + triggers + boundaries)
  • Extract a clean Quick Reference from large material
  • Split long content into navigable references/
  • Add a quality gate and a validator

Not For / Boundaries

This meta-skill is NOT:

  • A domain Skill by itself (it builds domain Skills)
  • A license to invent external facts (if the material does not prove it, say so and add a verification path)
  • A substitute for required inputs (if inputs are missing, ask 1-3 questions before proceeding)

Quick Reference

Deliverables (What You Must Produce)

Your output MUST include:

  1. A concrete directory layout (typically skills/<skill-name>/)
  2. An actionable SKILL.md with decidable triggers, boundaries, and reproducible examples
  3. Long-form docs moved to references/ with a references/index.md
  4. A pre-delivery checklist (Quality Gate)

Built-in Tool (Mandatory): Skill Seekers (Linked)

This meta-skill exposes the tools/external/Skill_Seekers-development submodule through a relative symlink so you can generate a first-draft Skill from:

  • Documentation websites
  • GitHub repositories
  • PDFs

Bootstrap dependencies (once):

./skills/auto-skill/scripts/skill-seekers-bootstrap.sh

Run Skill Seekers (from linked source):

./skills/auto-skill/scripts/skill-seekers.sh -- --version
./skills/auto-skill/scripts/skill-seekers.sh -- scrape --config ./skills/auto-skill/scripts/Skill_Seekers-development/configs/react.json
./skills/auto-skill/scripts/skill-seekers.sh -- github --repo facebook/react --name react

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.
