x9-onboarding

x9-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code from xonika9/agent-skills. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,084 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A readiness checker for installed x9 skills and their declared dependencies. It verifies only named skills or the active skill catalogue and reports whether each is ready.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking x9 skill declarations, supported runtimes, and external requirements after installation or an update.
Why use it?
It prevents unsafe directory scanning and makes missing, invalid, unsupported, or untrusted requirements visible before use.

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

x9-onboarding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/test_validate_onboarding.py, scripts/validate_onboarding.py), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

X9 onboarding

Check only the user-named x9-* skills, or use the current runtime's active skill catalog when the user did not name targets. Resolve every selected skill's physical path against this loaded skill's package skills root. Read a declaration only when its resolved path remains below that root; never read an external path or symlink target. Report an untrusted target as PARTIAL and BLOCKED with that reason. If neither an explicit target nor a safe active catalog is available, report scope as PARTIAL and BLOCKED and ask for skill names rather than scanning directories.

Read the declaration contract for trusted references/onboarding.json data. A missing declaration means that skill has no declared external requirements or runtime restriction: report COMPLETE and READY; never infer a requirement from prose. An unreadable or invalid declaration is PARTIAL and BLOCKED; report only its package-relative source and contract failure, not its contents. If the current runtime is absent from supported_runtimes, report COMPLETE and BLOCKED before requirement filtering; this is an explicit compatibility fact, not missing evidence. Otherwise filter a declaration to the current runtime before checking it. Use the current runtime adapter for live facts: OpenCode, Claude Code, or Codex.

Status model

Keep coverage and readiness as separate columns. For an individual requirement, COMPLETE means a supported passive check returned a safe present or absent fact; PARTIAL means a required fact could not be safely established; EXPLICIT is reserved for manual. manual always returns EXPLICIT and USER_ACTION. A present passive fact is READY; an absent supported prerequisite is NEEDS_SETUP; unavailable or unsafe evidence is BLOCKED. Return PENDING_RESTART only when the adapter safely observes the configured component and also observes that this session lacks it; do not infer it from a missing capability.

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.
