skill-creator

A workflow for creating, revising, and testing coding-agent skills. It covers drafting instructions, running test prompts, reviewing results, and measuring performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a skill from scratch, improve an existing one, create evaluation prompts, compare versions, and analyse performance across repeated tests.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to find weaknesses in a skill instead of relying only on intuition. Testing helps assess whether changes improve results and triggering accuracy.

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

skill-creator 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (eval-viewer/generate_review.py, scripts/__init__.py, scripts/aggregate_benchmark.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.

Skill Creator

A skill for creating new skills and iteratively improving them.

At a high level, the process of creating a skill goes like this:

  • Decide what you want the skill to do and roughly how it should do it
  • Write a draft of the skill
  • Create a few test prompts and run the agent with access to the skill on them
  • Help the user evaluate the results both qualitatively and quantitatively
    • While the runs happen in the background, draft some quantitative evals if there aren't any (if there are some, you can either use as is or modify if you feel something needs to change about them). Then explain them to the user (or if they already existed, explain the ones that already exist)
    • Use the eval-viewer/generate_review.py script to show the user the results for them to look at, and also let them look at the quantitative metrics
  • Rewrite the skill based on feedback from the user's evaluation of the results (and also if there are any glaring flaws that become apparent from the quantitative benchmarks)
  • Repeat until you're satisfied
  • Expand the test set and try again at larger scale

Your job when using this skill is to figure out where the user is in this process and then jump in and help them progress through these stages.

Communicating with the user

The skill creator is liable to be used by people across a wide range of familiarity with coding jargon. Pay attention to context cues to understand how to phrase your communication! In the default case:

  • "evaluation" and "benchmark" are borderline, but OK
  • for "JSON" and "assertion" you want to see serious cues from the user that they know what those things are before using them without explaining them

It's OK to briefly explain terms if you're in doubt.


Skill Design Fundamentals

About Skills

Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend agent capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks -- they transform a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge and domain expertise.

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.
