What it does

Original Skin Guide is an agent skill from ad-repo/nullplayer. Original skin engine, skin.json schema, element catalog, and custom skin creation. Use when creating or modifying Original skins, working on ModernSkin components, or adding UI elements to the Original system.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `advanced-features.md` and `element-reference.md`).

The repository describes itself as: nullPlayer is a free open source macOS media player with some unique features.

When your agent uses it

  • Modifying Original skins
  • Working on ModernSkin components
  • Adding UI elements to the Original system

Example prompts

  • “/original-skin-guide”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. JSON configuration (skin.json) -- colors, fonts, layout, animations
  2. PNG image assets -- optional per-element images
  3. Programmatic fallback -- elements without images are drawn using palette colors

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3d87ce1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json and bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Original Skin Guide loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,317 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,317 words (~3,940 tokens).

“This guide covers creating custom skins for NullPlayer's Original UI mode. The implementation retains the modern name internally for compatibility.”
