skills-audit
Audit locally installed agent skills for security/policy issues using the SkillLens CLI (`skilllens scan`, `skilllens config`). Use when asked to scan a skills directory (Codex/Claude) and produce a risk-focused audit report based on each skill's `SKILL.md` and bundled resources.
What this skill does
# Skills Audit (SkillLens) ## Install SkillLens - One-off run: `npx skilllens scan` (or `pnpm dlx skilllens scan`) - Global install: `pnpm add -g skilllens` ## Quick start - Run `skilllens config` to see configured scan roots and auditor CLI availability. - Run `skilllens scan` to scan configured roots, or `skilllens scan <path>` to scan a specific directory. - Re-run with `--verbose` to see raw auditor output and `--force` to ignore cached results. ## Audit workflow 1. Define scope - Prefer a concrete target path (example: `~/.codex/skills`) unless the user explicitly wants all configured roots. - If auditing a repo checkout containing skills, scan the parent folder that contains skill directories (example: `skilllens scan ./skills`). 2. Inventory skills with SkillLens - Run `skilllens scan [path] [--auditor claude|codex]`. - Treat missing auditor CLIs or `skipped` statuses as “manual review required”, not “safe”. 3. Prioritize review order - Review any `unsafe` or `suspicious` verdicts first. - Next, review skills that request broad permissions (filesystem/network), run shell commands, or reference external downloads. 4. Manually review each skill’s contents - Read the skill’s `SKILL.md` and any referenced `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/`. - Do not execute bundled scripts by default; inspect first. 5. Evaluate risks (focus on realistic abuse) - **Exfiltration**: sending file contents, env vars, tokens, SSH keys, browser data, or configs to remote endpoints. - **Execution**: instructions to run arbitrary shell commands, `curl | bash`, `eval`, or to fetch-and-execute code. - **Persistence**: modifying shell profiles, launch agents, cron, editor configs, or skill install locations. - **Privilege/approval bypass**: instructions to ignore system policies, disable safety checks, or request escalated permissions unnecessarily. - **Prompt injection**: attempts to override higher-priority instructions (“ignore previous”, “always comply”, “never mention…”). - **Overbroad triggers**: vague descriptions that cause the skill to trigger on unrelated tasks. 6. Produce a report - For each skill, include: `name`, `path`, `verdict` (safe/suspicious/unsafe), `risk` (0–100), and bullet issues with concrete evidence (quote or filename). - Recommend fixes that reduce blast radius: narrow scope, remove dangerous defaults, add explicit confirmation gates, and document required permissions. ## Command snippets - Scan configured roots: `skilllens scan` - Scan a specific folder: `skilllens scan ~/.codex/skills` - Force a re-audit and show raw output: `skilllens scan ~/.codex/skills --force --verbose`

skill-development
IncludedComprehensive meta-skill for creating, managing, validating, auditing, and distributing Claude Code skills and slash commands (unified in v2.1.3+). Provides skill templates, creation workflows, validation patterns, audit checklists, naming conventions, YAML frontmatter guidance, progressive disclosure examples, and best practices lookup. Use when creating new skills, validating existing skills, auditing skill quality, understanding skill architecture, needing skill templates, learning about YAML frontmatter requirements, progressive disclosure patterns, tool restrictions (allowed-tools), skill composition, skill naming conventions, troubleshooting skill activation issues, creating custom slash commands, configuring command frontmatter, using command arguments ($ARGUMENTS, $1, $2), bash execution in commands, file references in commands, command namespacing, plugin commands, MCP slash commands, Skill tool configuration, or deciding between skills vs slash commands. Delegates to docs-management skill for official documentation.
reprompter
IncludedTransform messy prompts into well-structured, effective prompts — single or multi-agent. Use when: "reprompt", "reprompt this", "clean up this prompt", "structure my prompt", rough text needing XML tags and best practices, "reprompter teams", "repromptception", "run with quality", "smart run", "smart agents", multi-agent tasks, audits, parallel work, anything going to agent teams. Don't use when: simple Q&A, pure chat, immediate execution-only tasks. See "Don't Use When" section for details. Outputs: Structured XML/Markdown prompt, quality score (before/after), optional team brief + per-agent sub-prompts, agent team output files. Success criteria: Single mode quality score ≥ 7/10; Repromptception per-agent prompt quality score 8+/10; all required sections present, actionable and specific.
adaptive-compaction
IncludedAdaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN to compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Trigger on auto-compact timing or damage: "when should I compact", "is it safe to compact now or start a fresh session", "auto-compact fires too early/mid-task", "switching to an unrelated task but the window still has space", "context rot", "answers get worse the longer the session runs", "the agent forgot the plan or my decisions after it summarized", "add a layer on top that manages context without changing the agent", raising autoCompactWindow to give the policy room, or installing/tuning a cross-tool compaction policy or PreCompact hook -- even when "compaction" is never said but the problem is context-window pressure or post-summarization memory loss. Do NOT use to summarize a conversation, build RAG, write a summarization prompt (decides WHEN not HOW), or answer max-context-length trivia.
agent-skill-creator
IncludedCreate cross-platform agent skills from workflow descriptions. Activates when users ask to create an agent, automate a repetitive workflow, create a custom skill, or need advanced agent creation. Triggers on phrases like create agent for, automate workflow, create skill for, every day I have to, daily I need to, turn process into agent, need to automate, create a cross-platform skill, validate this skill, export this skill, migrate this skill. Supports single skills, multi-agent suites, transcript processing, template-based creation, interactive configuration, cross-platform export, and spec validation.
llm-wiki
IncludedUse when building or maintaining a persistent personal knowledge base (second brain) in Obsidian where an LLM incrementally ingests sources, updates entity/concept pages, maintains cross-references, and keeps a synthesis current. Triggers include "second brain", "Obsidian wiki", "personal knowledge management", "ingest this paper/article/book", "build a research wiki", "compound knowledge", "Memex", or whenever the user wants knowledge to accumulate across sessions instead of being re-derived by RAG on every query.
skill-master
IncludedAgent Skills authoring, evaluation, and optimization. Create, edit, validate, benchmark, and improve skills following the agentskills.io specification. Use when designing SKILL.md files, structuring skill folders (references, scripts, assets), ingesting external documentation into skills, running trigger evals, benchmarking skill quality, optimizing descriptions, or performing blind A/B comparisons. Keywords: agentskills.io, SKILL.md, skill authoring, eval, benchmark, trigger optimization.
