About this skill

Skills Index is a skill in TheAceTeam/AceHarness (105 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens. Licence: Custom licence.

Workflow steps

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

  1. 检测到项目生成需求 → 调用 skill({ name: "base-skill" })
  2. 阅读 base-skill 内容 → 按流程执行

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7122bf6. 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

Skills Index loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 10 tokens; SKILL.md has 408 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~10
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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 408 words (~3,406 tokens).

“Available skills for working with the Cangjie compiler project and Anthropics official skills.”

What does Skills Index need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Skills Index is instructions for the agent only.

Does Skills Index access the network?
