The meta skill. An agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain.

  • Works in 8 steps: Should This Be a Skill? → Audit → Write SKILL.md + Code (items 1-2) → …
  • Tasks that involve Quality gates
  • SKILL.md covers Contract, The Checklist, Phase 0: Should This Be a Skill? and Phase 1: Audit, plus 10 more sections
  • Calls jq, bun and gemini; needs OPENAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

What it does

Skillify is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. The meta skill. Turn any raw feature into a properly-skilled, tested, resolvable unit of agent capability. Cross-modal eval is the recommended Phase 3 quality gate: 3 frontier models from different providers critique the output, you iterate to quality, THEN write tests that lock in the proven-good behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Quality gates and Test generation.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Quality gates
  • Tasks that involve Test generation

Example prompts

  • “/skillify”

Requirements

  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Should This Be a Skill?
  2. Audit
  3. Write SKILL.md + Code (items 1-2)
  4. Cross-Modal Eval (item 3) — THE QUALITY GATE
  5. Tests (items 4-6)
  6. Resolver + Check-Resolvable (items 7-9)
  7. E2E + Brain Filing (items 10-11)
  8. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5231990. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • bun
    • gemini

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENAI_API_KEY
    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    • GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY
    • TOGETHER_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Skillify loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,056 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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 1,056 words (~2,856 tokens).

“A feature is "properly skilled" when all 11 checklist items pass. Item 3 (cross-modal eval) is informational in v1.1.0 — it does not gate the skillpack-check audit, but a missing or stale receipt is surfaced so the user knows where…”
