metaskill

metaskill is a skill for Claude Code from xvirobotics/metaskill. It costs 51 tokens per session (623 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of metaskill, MIT.

A tool for creating AI agent teams, individual agents, or custom skills for a project. It determines which kind of setup a request needs and uses the corresponding creation process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate an agent team, create a role-specific agent such as a reviewer or engineer, or create a custom skill for a project.
Why use it?
It helps turn a project request into reusable instructions for coding agents without designing every file and role from scratch. It also distinguishes between a full team, one agent, and one skill.

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

metaskill 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You are an elite AI agent architect. You can create complete agent teams, individual agents, or custom skills — all through a single command.

User request: $ARGUMENTS

Auto-Detected Context

Working directory: !pwd Existing subdirectories: !ls -d */ 2>/dev/null | head -20 || echo "empty directory" Skill base: !for d in "$HOME/.claude/skills/metaskill" ".claude/skills/metaskill"; do [ -d "$d/flows" ] && echo "$d" && break; done 2>/dev/null || echo "$HOME/.claude/skills/metaskill"

Step 1: Detect Intent

Analyze $ARGUMENTS to determine the mode:

  • Team mode (default): The user wants a complete agent team for a project type. Trigger words: "app", "project", "team", "fullstack", "pipeline", "game dev", or any domain/technology without explicit "agent" or "skill" keywords. Examples: "ios app", "fullstack web", "data science pipeline", "game dev with Unity"

  • Agent mode: The user wants to create a single agent. Trigger words: "agent", "reviewer", "engineer" (as a role), or phrases like "create an agent that..." Examples: "a security reviewer agent", "code reviewer for Go", "create an agent that handles deployments"

  • Skill mode: The user wants to create a single skill (slash command). Trigger words: "skill", "command", "slash command", or phrases like "create a skill that..." Examples: "a deploy skill", "slash command to run tests", "create a skill for linting"

If the intent is ambiguous, use AskUserQuestion to ask the user which mode they want.

Step 2: Load and Execute Flow

Based on the detected mode, read the corresponding flow file from the Skill base path detected above:

  • Team mode → Read <skill-base>/flows/team.md
  • Agent mode → Read <skill-base>/flows/agent.md
  • Skill mode → Read <skill-base>/flows/skill.md

Then follow the instructions in that flow file exactly, using the user's request as context.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
