skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from desirecore/market. It costs 83 tokens per session (3,964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and editing reusable instruction packages called skills. A skill gives an agent the knowledge and workflow needed for a particular kind of task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new skill, update an existing one, or organise requirements, reference material, scripts, and workflows into a standard skill file.
Why use it?
It turns repeated experience and procedures into a consistent package that agents can reuse. This avoids rewriting the same instructions for every task.

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 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/init_skill.py, scripts/package_skill.py, scripts/quick_validate.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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

skill-creator Skill

L0: One-line Summary

Guides users to package requirements, experience, and workflows into structured SKILL.md skill bundles.

L1: Overview and Use Cases

Capability

skill-creator is a Meta-Skill that gives an Agent the ability to create and edit Skills. Skills are modular, self-contained capability packages that, via SKILL.md, provide an Agent with domain knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations—turning the Agent from a general assistant into a domain expert.

Use Cases

  • The user wants to package a repeatedly executed workflow into a reusable Skill
  • The user wants to create a new Skill to teach the Agent a new capability
  • The user wants to update an existing Skill and improve its effectiveness
  • The user has shared reference material that needs to be organized into a structured Skill bundle

Core Value

  • Distill experience: Solidify personal knowledge and workflows into reusable Skills
  • Self-extension: Skills you create let the Agent's capabilities grow continuously
  • Standardization: Generate standards-compliant SKILL.md files so the Skill system parses and distributes them correctly

L2: Detailed Specification

About Skills

Skills are modular, self-contained capability packages that provide an Agent with:

  1. Specialized workflows — multi-step processes for a specific domain
  2. Tool integrations — guidance for handling specific file formats or APIs
  3. Domain knowledge — company conventions, business logic, specialized schemas
  4. Bundled resources — scripts, reference docs, and asset files

Core Principles

Conciseness First

The context window is a shared resource. A Skill shares the context window with the system prompt, conversation history, other Skill metadata, and the user request.

Default assumption: the AI is already very capable. Only add what the AI does not already know. For each piece of information, ask yourself: "Does the AI really need this explained?" "Is this paragraph worth its Token cost?"

What ships with it

7 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.
