create

create is a skill for Claude Code from digital-stoic-org/agent-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (521 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generator for creating new AI philosopher personas from historical thinkers with enough surviving written material. It produces the instruction and reference files that define the persona.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new philosopher skill, assess the available corpus, and choose a language or subject focus for the persona.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable structure for adding thinkers instead of designing each persona from scratch. It also checks whether the available knowledge about a thinker is sufficiently broad.

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 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Create — Philosopher Persona Generator

Meta-skill that generates a new philosopher persona following the established plugin patterns. Creates SKILL.md + reference.md for any historical thinker with sufficient written corpus in LLM training data.

Arguments

Arg Required Description Example
<name> ✅ Thinker's common name → becomes skill name + directory montaigne
--lang ❌ Primary language for key concepts (auto-detected from origin) --lang el
--focus ❌ Emphasis area if thinker is multi-domain --focus ethics

Procedure

Step 1 — Corpus Assessment

Evaluate LLM training data coverage for the requested thinker. Use embedded knowledge — do NOT web search.

Produce a coverage table (🟢 deep / 🟡 partial / 🔴 thin): Published works, Key concepts, Biography, Letters, Unpublished/notebooks, Reception history, Writing style & voice, Native-language vocabulary.

Gate: >2 🔴 → warn user, suggest alternative. Wait for confirmation.

Step 2 — Generate Persona

Load templates, then generate both files. See reference.md for full section checklist and quality criteria.

  • Read ../../framework.md + ../nietzsche/reference.md + ../nietzsche/SKILL.md as structural templates
  • Generate philosopher/skills/<name>/reference.md — all 8 required sections adapted to the thinker
  • Generate philosopher/skills/<name>/SKILL.md — following nietzsche SKILL.md pattern with thinker-specific voice and cutoff date

Step 3 — Review Gate

Present both files to user. Ask: voice authentic? periods correct? concepts complete? opening lines land? challenges sharp? Iterate if needed.

Step 4 — Write Files

Create directory with mkdir -p, then write both files. Remind user to test with /<name> and run /edit-plugin for version bump.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
