skill2-create

skill2-create is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blackblue-labs/skill2. It costs 23 tokens per session (672 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and maintaining reusable instruction sets that change how an AI coding agent behaves.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, update, split, merge, or reorganize agent skills and skill libraries.
Why use it?
It helps avoid duplicate instructions and keeps each skill focused on one clear job.

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

skill2-create 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/_runtime/skill2/__init__.py, scripts/_runtime/skill2/cli.py, scripts/_runtime/skill2/models.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Agent Skills

Create the smallest reusable instruction set that changes agent behavior without duplicating existing ownership.

Scope

Signal Landing
Distinct reusable trigger and standalone workflow Top-level skills/<name>/SKILL.md
More depth under the same trigger and workflow references/ under the owning skill
Repo-bound paths, commands, or conventions Project-local skill
One-off answer or pure mechanical rule No skill → script / validator / docs / lint / CI

When uncertain, prefer references/ or project-local placement over expanding the top-level namespace.

Authoring

  1. Define user trigger, desired behavior, output, and hard constraints.
  2. Find existing ownership before creating a new top-level skill.
  3. Choose scope and name from user intent, not implementation or one harness.
  4. Write minimal SKILL.md; add resources only when they reduce noise or make execution deterministic.
  5. Apply changes only when requested. Run repository validator when available.

SKILL.md

  • Plain Markdown with YAML frontmatter
  • name: kebab-case; match directory name
  • description: trigger conditions only; do not summarize workflow
  • Body: principles, decisions, constraints, and output contract
  • Keep instructions terse; explain only non-obvious choices
  • Use relative paths; never embed secrets or accidental machine-local paths
  • Preserve existing user rules unless change is required

Resources

Resource Use
references/ Heavy detail loaded under the same trigger
scripts/ Deterministic, repeated, or fragile execution
assets/ Files copied or transformed into deliverables

Create only needed directories. Keep references one hop from SKILL.md. Do not nest discoverable skills. Do not create optional metadata unless the target repository or distribution format requires it.

Commands

Skill-owned scaffold:

uv run --script <skill-dir>/scripts/run -- scaffold skill <name>

What ships with it

6 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.

Changes

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.

skill2-create is a skill published in the GitHub repository blackblue-labs/skill2 (33 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 672 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
