Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00106 | $0.01041 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.00521 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00208 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00104 |
Grade A, and why
create-package-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Create Package Skill Wizard
Minimal beats comprehensive. Human-written beats auto-generated. Scaffold and iterate.
Skills encode tribal knowledge — the "I wish someone had told me" stuff that's hard to learn from just reading code. Focus on what's non-obvious and package-specific.
Interaction Protocols
CONFIRM Protocol (asset-producing steps — creating files):
- PRESENT the proposed assets and explain why.
- ASK exactly one question: "Create now (recommended), edit first, or skip?"
- ACT immediately. Create → write files this turn. Edit → refine, re-ask. Skip → move on.
DECIDE Protocol (informational/correction steps — no files created):
- PRESENT the information or findings.
- ASK one specific question appropriate to the decision.
- PROCEED based on the answer.
One question at a time. Respect "skip" — never re-ask or defer.
Wizard Flow
Run each phase in order. Progressive loading: Read only the current phase file.
| Phase | Description | Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 0 | 🧭 Scan Package — detect architecture, customizations, key files | phases/00-scan-package.md |
| Phase 1 | 📝 Scaffold SKILL.md — generate skill with common pitfalls, architecture, workflow | phases/01-scaffold-skill.md |
| Phase 2 | 📚 Generate References — create architecture.md and customizations.md | phases/02-generate-references.md |
| Phase 3 | Validate -- run vally lint | phases/03-validate.md |
| Phase 4 | 📋 Finalize — confirm discoverable location, summarize | phases/04-finalize.md |
Guardrails
Content:
- Every line must be non-obvious and package-specific. No generic Java/SDK patterns.
- SKILL.md should be under 500 tokens (soft limit). Move details to references/.
- References under 1000 tokens each. Split if larger.
- Never duplicate what's already in
.github/copilot-instructions.mdor shared skills.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

create-package-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-sdk-for-java (2,565 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 1,041 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
