What it does

Awesome Repo Builder is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Create a topic-specific GitHub awesome-list repository scaffold with a polished README, concise contribution rules, AI-agent instructions, URL verification, license, and reusable templates. Use when the user wants to generate a new awesome repo, awesome list, curated repository, or topic resource catalog from a topic plus optional taxonomy, inclusion criteria, and researched entries.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/awesome-repo-structure.md`, `scripts/create_awesome_repo.py` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to generate a new awesome repo
  • Curated repository
  • Topic resource catalog from a topic plus optional taxonomy
  • Inclusion criteria

Example prompts

  • “/awesome-repo-builder”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the user's requested topic and decide whether enough taxonomy and criteria exist.
  2. If initial entries are absent, research the topic first. Prefer official project pages, papers, docs, GitHub repositories, and existing…
  3. Create a JSON spec with title, slug, topic, tagline, description, taxonomy, criteria, initial_entries, and related_lists.
  4. Run scripts/create_awesome_repo.py with the spec and output directory.
  5. Read the generated files and make small manual edits if the topic requires wording changes.
  6. Report the output path and any assumptions, especially taxonomy or criteria that were inferred.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • arxiv.org

    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

Awesome Repo Builder loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 334 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 334 words (~1,092 tokens).

“Build a new awesome-list repository with a polished README.md, concise contribution rules, AI-agent instructions, URL verification script, license, .gitignore, and optional reusable templates.”
