Winamp 5.x .wal skin engine — Wasabi XML/XUI renderer, MAKI bytecode VM, VFS mounts, component hosting, and the ClassicPro engine import.

  • Working on the WinampModern subsystem
  • SKILL.md covers The rule that outranks…, Routing: which file answers…, Where things live and The pipeline and the security…, plus 2 more sections

What it does

Winamp Modern Skin Guide is an agent skill from ad-repo/nullplayer. Winamp 5.x .wal skin engine — Wasabi XML/XUI renderer, MAKI bytecode VM, VFS mounts, component hosting, and the ClassicPro engine import. Use when working on the WinampModern subsystem, debugging a .wal skin that fails to load or renders wrong, or extending Wasabi/MAKI coverage, or triaging compatibility across many skins at once.

Its SKILL.md is about 8.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 96 other files (for example `compatibility.md`, `compatibility/limits-and-policy.md` and `compatibility/maki-surface.md`).

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

When your agent uses it

  • Working on the WinampModern subsystem
  • Debugging a .wal skin that fails to load
  • Extending Wasabi/MAKI coverage
  • Triaging compatibility across many skins at once

Example prompts

  • “/winamp-modern-skin-guide”

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.

    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

Winamp Modern Skin Guide loads about 8.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,717 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~8.3k

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 3,717 words (~8,254 tokens).

“NullPlayer's fourth UI mode (PlayerUIMode.winampModern) loads and runs Winamp 5.x modern skins — .wal archives containing Wasabi XML/XUI markup and compiled MAKI bytecode. It is a clean-room implementation: the archive is parsed, the object graph is built, and the scripts…”
