About this skill
“Converts an external skill (a SKILL.md package, a prompt recipe, an agent toolkit found online or on disk) into the scaffold's own shapes: procedures become SOPs, code becomes red-tested Scripts, reference becomes Guidelines, a role gets an agent ruling, and a trigger becomes a generated pointer skill; the user approves the decomposition before any write. Use when the user says: "import this skill", "add this skill", "convert this skill", "here is a skill folder", "turn this SKILL.md into scaffold shape".”
Skill Importer is a skill in myICOR/myPKA (307 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 372 tokens. Licence: MIT.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b31da9. 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
Skill Importer loads about 372 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 89 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Can I use Skill Importer in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add myICOR/myPKA --skill import-skill -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/import-skill, .gemini/skills/import-skill, .github/skills/import-skill and .opencode/skills/import-skill in your project.
What does Skill Importer need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Skill Importer is instructions for the agent only.
Does Skill Importer access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Skill Importer safe to install?

How many tokens does Skill Importer use?
About 372 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
