create-team-skill

create-team-skill is a skill for Claude Code from bostonaholic/team. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An authoring guide for creating a new team skill, where a skill is a set of instructions an agent reads to perform a task. It covers how the skill starts, receives input, and manages context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing and documenting a skill, choosing whether it is user-triggered or reusable by another skill, and defining its shared artifact directory.
Why use it?
It gives new skills a consistent structure and prevents unclear invocation, missing input discovery, or oversized conversations.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: names the TodoWrite tool; mentions AGENTS.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash .claude/scripts/check-discovery-consistency.sh.

Part of the team plugin — 88 skills, 13 agents, 2 hooks shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/bostonaholic/team
agentmods
npx agentmods add skills/bostonaholic/team/create-team-skill

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install team, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 88 skills, 13 agents, 2 hooks.

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

create-team-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 yesterday.

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

Create a Team skill

Create a skill another agent can select cheaply and follow without missing a contract.

Six laws

  1. Assert; do not argue. State the rule. Keep one **Why:** line only when it changes behavior in an unlisted case.
  2. Give the invariant, not the case list. Keep enumerations only when each member is a distinct fact, command, exception, or security boundary.
  3. Single source of truth. Define shared logic and rules once. Consumers name the skill or invoke the shared script.
  4. SKILL.md is a router. Put conditional procedures, prompt templates, schemas, and long command recipes in references/ or executable logic in scripts/.
  5. The description is a trigger. Write <what it does>. <when to trigger>.; keep it at most 200 characters, or 150 for methodology.
  6. Tests pin contracts, not wording. Assertions may pin a command, number, name, or path. Never pin a sentence or heading.

Preserve every command, number, path, name, authorization boundary, untrusted-input rule, fail-closed gate, and producer/reviewer separation rule during rewrites.

Budgets

Tier Frontmatter SKILL.md budget
Principle name starts principle- 25 lines
Methodology user-invocable: false 80 lines
Entry point otherwise 150 lines

An overage requires a current entry in SKILL_BUDGET_REASONS in tests/skill-budget.test.ts, keyed by skill and stating the exact line count and reason. A budget is a ceiling, not a target.

Classify

  • A principle states one cross-cutting, observable invariant, is not better enforced mechanically, has a current consumer, uses user-invocable: false, and carries no effort. Name it principle-<name> and keep each rule to one imperative line.
  • Methodology is reusable reference material. Set user-invocable: false; never expose it directly as a slash command.
  • An entry point is a user action. Leave user-invocable unset. If methodology also needs a command, add a separate front door such as code-review over reviewing-code.
  • Use disable-model-invocation: true only for an explicit-only entry point with a recorded reason.

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-team-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository bostonaholic/team (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,445 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.
