Ninja Enrich

VerifiedCaution

Populates the 'long_description' field in meta.yaml files by fetching content from man pages, website meta descriptions, or --help output. Useful for automatically generating descriptions for tools after adding new scripts or website fields. Supports --force to refresh and --dry-run to preview changes.

Automated summary

Populates long_description fields in meta.yaml files from man pages, website meta descriptions, or --help output.

Strengths

  • Automatically fetches descriptions from multiple sources (man, web, --help)
  • Preserves existing descriptions unless --force is used
  • Supports dry-run mode and path scoping for safe previews
  • Auto-rebuilds SQLite cache after YAML updates

Limitations

  • Depends on man page availability and website meta tags
  • Cannot replace carefully crafted human-written descriptions
  • Output from --help may be generic or unhelpful
When to use it

Use after adding new scripts with man pages or website references, or periodically to refresh descriptions from upstream sources.

When not to use it

Avoid when descriptions are manually curated and should not be overwritten, or if upstream sources are unreliable.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score88/100

The skill runs a Bash script that performs network requests and writes to files. While the described actions are legitimate for enrichment, the script's implementation is not provided, and network fetches carry inherent risk. No indication of direct harmful commands, but caution is warranted.

Findings
  • •Executes a shell script (.claude/scripts/ninja-enrich.sh) that may fetch content from external websites, which could potentially be used to introduce malicious content or exfiltrate data if the script is compromised.
  • •Modifies files (meta.yaml) and rebuilds SQLite cache, which could cause data loss or corruption if the script behaves unexpectedly.

Ninja Enrich

Populate long_description fields in meta.yaml files by fetching content from man pages, website meta descriptions, or --help output.

Usage: /ninja-enrich or /ninja-enrich --force

Execution

Run the enrich script:

.claude/scripts/ninja-enrich.sh $ARGUMENTS

Sources (tried in order per tool)

  1. Man page — man -P cat <binary> → parse NAME section
  2. Website — fetch website: URL → extract <meta description> or og:description
  3. --help — <binary> --help → first meaningful output line
  4. Skip — no source available

Flags

| Flag | Effect | |------|--------| | --force | Re-fetch even if long_description already set | | --path mainmenu/network | Limit enrichment to a subtree | | --dry-run | Show what would change without writing files |

What it updates

  • long_description: field in each *.meta.yaml / meta.yaml (source of truth)
  • SQLite cache (.cache/menu.db) rebuilt automatically after YAML updates

When to use

  • After adding new scripts that have man pages
  • After adding website: fields to web-app meta files
  • Periodically to refresh descriptions as upstream docs change (use --force)
  • With --dry-run to preview changes before committing

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/download' --output '.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash, Read

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/ninja-enrich' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls' '.claude/skills/ninja-enrich'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls'

openskills read 'ninja-enrich-mm78nnls'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/ninja-enrich-mm78nnls/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
