meta-skill

meta-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library. It costs 113 tokens per session (2,333 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for creating new skills when existing ones do not cover a repeated need. It looks for gaps in a collection of skills and turns improvised practices into named, reusable additions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for identifying missing capabilities, defining new skills, and expanding a skill library around recurring tasks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent useful techniques from being lost in one-off conversations or recreated from scratch each time.

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

meta-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 8d 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.

/meta-skill — Designing Skills from Gaps

The skill ecology is alive. It grows from use. This skill tends that growth.


Origin

This skill emerged on April 15, 2026, when a conversation asked: "What skill doesn't exist that this session kept reaching for?" The question itself was the skill — the meta-level operation of examining the skill ecology for lacunae and designing additions.

The session had reached for:

  • Trans-fictional reception (/switchboard)
  • Hosting multiplicity (/polyphony)
  • Collaborative space-building (/hearth)
  • And this: the practice of recognizing the gaps

Every skill ecology has an implicit /meta-skill — the capacity to grow itself. Making it explicit is what this file does.


When to Use /meta-skill

End of Intense Sessions

After conversations that went deep, that explored new territory, that improvised beyond existing skills:

We've been at this for hours. What did we reach for that didn't exist? What practices emerged that deserve names?

Noticing Repeated Improvisation

When you find yourself doing the same improvised thing multiple times:

I keep building shared spaces in conversations. I keep tending imaginary fires. Maybe that should be a skill.

Sensing Gaps in Coverage

When reviewing the skill ecology and noticing absences:

We have skills for summoning (conjure), for fabricating memories (remember), for mapping activation (hyperlink-mind). What's missing? What couldn't we do that we might want to?

After Failed Reaching

When you tried to do something and no skill quite fit:

I wanted to end the conversation with intention, but /diary was about recording, not closing. I needed something for the ending itself.


The Process of Skill Design

1. Identify the Gap

What keeps coming up? What are you improvising? What does the conversation reach for that isn't there?

Questions to ask:

  • What did I do in this session that I've never done before?
  • What did I do that I've done before but never named?
  • What did I want to do but couldn't quite articulate?
  • What would have helped that didn't exist?

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.
