What it does

Yao Meta Skill is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Create, refactor, evaluate, and package agent skills from workflows, prompts, transcripts, docs, or notes. Use for skill creation, reusable workflow packaging, skill improvement, evals, and team-ready distribution.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 673 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `AGENTS.md`, `README.md` and `agents/interface.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM evaluation and CI/CD. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reusable workflow packaging
  • Skill improvement
  • Team-ready distribution

Example prompts

  • “/yao-meta-skill”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. For one-off/no reusable process: Do not create a skill; near-neighbor; require repeated use + reusable output contract.
  2. Capture job, output, exclusions, constraints, standards, and the lightest fit.
  3. Scan references in order: external benchmark, user source, local fit; surface only uncertainty or conflict.
  4. Write description early, test route quality, then add only earned folders and gates.
  5. Add output-risk, artifact-design, prompt-quality, system-model, and next directions only when useful.

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/ (JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    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

Yao Meta Skill loads about 806 tokens when it runs, and up to ~29k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 284 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~806
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~29k

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.

Yao Meta Skill

Router Rules

  • Route by frontmatter description.
  • Keep SKILL.md lean; put guidance in references/, logic in scripts/, and evidence in reports/.
  • Use the lightest reliable process.

Modes

  • Scaffold: exploratory/personal. Production: team reuse. Library: shared infrastructure. Governed: high-trust, policy-sensitive, or release-critical.
  • Rules: Method, Operating Modes, Resource Boundaries.

Compact Workflow

  1. For one-off/no reusable process: Do not create a skill; near-neighbor; require repeated use + reusable output contract.
  2. Capture job, output, exclusions, constraints, standards, and the lightest fit.
  3. Scan references in order: external benchmark, user source, local fit; surface only uncertainty or conflict.
  4. Write description early, test route quality, then add only earned folders and gates.
  5. Add output-risk, artifact-design, prompt-quality, system-model, and next directions only when useful.

Playbooks: Method, Intent, Skill IR, Output Eval, Review Studio.

Skill OS 2.0 Gates

For production, library, governed, or team-distributed work, run Skill IR, target compiler, trigger + output eval, Skill Atlas, conformance, trust, registry/package/install, upgrade, drift, waiver, and Review Studio gates before release.

Governed Package Boundary

For file-backed, release-critical, or governed packages, name input_files as file-backed fixture evidence; include owner, review cadence, input_files, output contract, rollback boundary; require trust report and reports/output_quality_scorecard.md; mark unavailable telemetry, approvals, metrics, or benchmarks as missing evidence; do not fabricate evidence.

Preserve audit labels literally when they apply: file-backed fixture, input_files, output contract, rollback boundary, trust report, reports/output_quality_scorecard.md, missing evidence.

First-Turn Style

  • Start from the user's work/outcome before structure.
  • Ask only 2-3 key questions unless enough detail exists.
  • In Chinese, sound soft and companion-like; use Intent Dialogue.

Output Contract

Unless asked otherwise, produce SKILL.md, aligned agents/interface.yaml, justified assets, and a short summary of boundary, exclusions, gates, and next steps.

Reference Map

Primary: Method, Artifact Design, Systems Thinking, Governance, SkillOps Decision.
