What it does

Skill Prefixes is an agent skill from timmo001/system-bridge. Name skills with an owner prefix so they do not collide with shared, imported or other repositories' skills. Use when creating, renaming, importing or reviewing a skill name, especially for repository-local or tool-owned skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: A bridge for your systems. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 504c45d. 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 Prefixes loads about 556 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~556

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 Prefixes

Skill names share one namespace once they are installed globally, synced into other repositories, or loaded alongside a repository's own skills. A bare name such as review, docs or release will eventually clash.

Prefix internal skills

Prefix every skill a repository or tool you own defines for itself with that owner's short name and a hyphen: upnext-release, ha-bridge-commands, context-cli, notes-mcp, dot-git-commit.
Use the name people already call the tool, usually its CLI or package name, not the GitHub owner. Keep it short and use the same prefix for every skill from that owner.
A skill that mainly wraps a tool's commands takes that tool's prefix even when it lives in another repository: skills built on the dot CLI use dot-.
Keep the rest of the name specific to the job: upnext-review, not upnext-skill.

Leave these alone

Shared, general-purpose skills meant for any repository (testing, code-review, writing-style) stay unprefixed. They are the base names everything else avoids.
Skills in repositories you do not control keep upstream's naming. Home Assistant's ha-frontend-* already prefixes; HA core's bump-dependency does not, and that is upstream's call. Do not rename them in place.
External imports keep their upstream name, since project-copy syncing relies on it. Rename an import only when it actually clashes with an existing skill, and record the original under sourceName in imports.json.

Renaming

Keep name equal to the directory name.
Update every caller in the same change: AGENTS files, commands, agent definitions, other skills, plugin prompts, and generated catalogues. Search for the bare name in backticks and in phrases like "load" or "apply", and leave matching command or service names alone.
Rename the source; installed or synced copies follow on their next update.
