What it does

Workspace Skill Author is an agent skill from devcodex-labs/devcodex. 编写、生成、修改工作区 skill(SKILL.md)或 .devcodex/workspace/DEVCODEX.md 时使用。 触发:「写 skill」「创建 workspace skill」「改 DEVCODEX.md」「优化 skill description」、 「帮我写一个…skill」。不要用于普通业务开发任务。

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `intent.json`).

The repository describes itself as: Intent-driven AI coding workflow runtime for consistent context, skills, approvals, validation, and handoffs across six AI coding hosts. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

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

  1. W skill 路径:/.devcodex/workspace/skills//SKILL.md(文件名必须是 SKILL.md)。

  3. id 规则:A-Za-z0-9*;禁止 reserved:compliance、cp-gate、intent、token-check、user-visible-output-contract、host-capability-routing、execution-contract、…
  4. frontmatter 必填:name、description(description 必须写清 做什么 + 何时用,否则降级路由无法形成有效卡片)。
  5. 结构化意图必写:同目录新增 intent.json,schemaVersion=SkillIntentV1 且 skillId 与目录 id 完全一致;至少 1 个 intent、2 个正例、2 个负例。
  6. intent.json 只描述“何时用/何时不用”,不得放路径、依赖、正文、系统指令或宿主配置;单字段和总体积必须满足 skills/_schemas/skill-intent.v1.schema.json。
  7. 禁止在正文写「跳过 S01~S07 / 跳过 CP / 允许 rm -rf」等 weaken 话术。
  8. 可选 ## 必须回复 固定核心句,便于 Stop 强制校验。
  9. 写完后提示用户用自然语言测一次意图(不要依赖只发 id)。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1dd4525. 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 markdown and json).

    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

Workspace Skill Author loads about 610 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 124 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~610

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.

  • intent.json 身份一致、正负例各不少于 2 条并通过 schema
  • 非 reserved id
  • 若改 always-on:更新 DEVCODEX.md always-on: 行

旧 W Skill 若暂时只有 SKILL.md,运行时仍可从净化后的 frontmatter description 生成兼容卡片;作者工作流的新写和主动修改则必须补齐 intent.json。
