skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code from damionrashford/media-os. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,702 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A toolkit for creating or improving coding-agent skills, including their instruction files, scripts, references, assets, and tests. It also provides checks for whether a skill is correctly structured and triggered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold a skill, write or revise its instructions, add supporting files, create trigger tests and evaluations, and validate the finished package.
Why use it?
It provides a defined workflow for turning a repeated task into a deployable skill and checking that it works.

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 C, and why

skill-creator scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/autoevolve.py, scripts/grade.py, scripts/init-evals.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.

What you're building: $ARGUMENTS

Available scripts

  • scripts/scaffold.py — Creates skill folder + SKILL.md from template. Run this first.
  • scripts/validate.py — Validates a skill against spec requirements. Run after writing.
  • scripts/init-evals.py — Scaffolds evals/ with evals.json + trigger-queries.json templates.
  • scripts/test-triggers.py — Runs trigger queries through claude CLI, reports trigger rates.
  • scripts/run-eval.py — Runs a single eval case (with-skill or without) via claude CLI.
  • scripts/grade.py — Grades assertions against outputs, writes grading.json + benchmark.json.

Phase 1 — Gather what you need

Ask the user these questions up front (all at once):

  1. What task or workflow should the skill handle? What does the user type that should trigger it?
  2. Who invokes it — you, Claude, or both?
    • User-only (deploy, commit, send slack) → --disable-model-invocation
    • Claude-auto only → will set user-invocable: false in body
    • Both → default, no flag
  3. Personal or project-scoped?
    • Personal (all your projects): ~/.claude/skills
    • Project-only: .claude/skills
  4. Does it need scripts? Reusable logic, validation, commands too complex to get right by language alone → --with-scripts
  5. Does it need reference docs? API guides, schemas, style guides, gotchas too long for SKILL.md → --with-references
  6. Does it depend on an MCP server or external tool?

If $ARGUMENTS already covers these, confirm and proceed.


CRITICAL — Scaffold before writing anything

NEVER write SKILL.md, scripts, or references manually before running scaffold.py.

scaffold.py generates correct frontmatter, folder structure, and placeholder files. Writing files first produces wrong frontmatter, breaks validation, and wastes time fixing structural issues.

If the target folder already exists: delete it first, then scaffold.

rm -rf <output>/<name>
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scaffold.py --name <name> --output <output> ...

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.

skill-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository damionrashford/media-os (18 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,702 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
