skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code from DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided tool for creating new skills for an agent, including their purpose, model tier, and execution details.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define and scaffold skills such as note tools, searches, and custom transforms.
Why use it?
It gives skill creation a repeatable structure so important configuration choices are not missed.

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 9d 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.

Instructions

Phase 1: Initial Setup

  1. Parse the skill name from the command
  2. Check if a skill with this name already exists in .claude/skills/
  3. If exists, warn and ask if they want to overwrite or rename

Phase 2: Gather Skill Metadata (6-Step Process)

Ask the user these questions in sequence:

Step 1: Purpose & Description

Question: "What does this skill do? (One sentence)"

  • This becomes the description: field in frontmatter
  • Should be concise and action-oriented
  • Example: "Convert voice recordings to text using Whisper API"
Step 2: Model Tier

Question: "Which model tier is appropriate?"

Option When to Use
haiku (default) Fast, simple tasks - note creation, searches, quick transforms
sonnet Complex analysis, code review, multi-step reasoning
opus Deep research, complex planning, extended reasoning

Store in model: frontmatter field.

Step 3: Execution Context

Question: "How should this skill execute?"

Option When to Use
fork (default) Independent execution, can run in parallel
orchestrate Coordinates multiple dependent sub-agents
(no context) Single-session, simple execution

Store in context: frontmatter field.

Step 3b: Agent Type (v2.1.0+)

Question: "Should this skill use a specific agent type?"

Option When to Use
(omit - default) Use default agent behaviour
Explore Read-only codebase exploration
Plan Design implementation plans
general-purpose Full capabilities needed

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.
