What it does

Repo Metadata is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. This skill should be used when the user asks to "generate repository metadata", "create catalog-info.yaml", "add repo metadata", "document repository structure", or mentions generating structured metadata for service catalog or architecture documentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `examples/catalog-info-gateway.yaml`, `examples/catalog-info-library.yaml` and `examples/catalog-info-template.yaml`).

It sits in Backend & APIs. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to generate repository metadata
  • Create catalog-info.yaml
  • Add repo metadata
  • Document repository structure

Example prompts

  • “generate repository metadata”
  • “create catalog-info.yaml”
  • “add repo metadata”
  • “/repo-metadata”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze Repository
  2. Generate Metadata
  3. Present and Refine
  4. Write Metadata File
  5. Update Related Documentation

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

    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

Repo Metadata loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 488 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

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 488 words (~1,773 tokens).

“Generate structured catalog-info.yaml metadata for repositories using industry-standard conventions (based on Backstage catalog format). This metadata enables cross-repository architecture analysis and service catalog functionality.”
