skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code from ericgandrade/claude-superskills. It costs 63 tokens per session (4,306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating, improving, and testing skills for coding agents. It can help define a skill, run evaluations, compare performance across runs, and improve when the skill activates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a new skill, revise an existing one, run tests, study inconsistent results, or improve a skill's triggering description.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable way to turn a workflow into agent instructions and check whether those instructions work reliably.

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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 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.

Assess where the user is in the process and jump in accordingly: they may need help defining the skill from scratch, or they may already have a draft and need to go straight to eval/iterate. Stay flexible — if the user wants to skip formal evaluation and iterate conversationally, that's fine too. After the skill is complete, offer to run description optimization to improve triggering accuracy.


Communicating with the user

Users span a wide range of technical familiarity. "Evaluation" and "benchmark" are generally OK; "JSON" and "assertion" need clear signals from the user before using them without definition. When in doubt, add a brief inline explanation.


Creating a skill

Capture Intent

Start by understanding the user's intent. The current conversation might already contain a workflow the user wants to capture (e.g., they say "turn this into a skill"). If so, extract answers from the conversation history first — the tools used, the sequence of steps, corrections the user made, input/output formats observed. The user may need to fill the gaps, and should confirm before proceeding to the next step.

  1. What should this skill enable Claude to do?
  2. When should this skill trigger? (what user phrases/contexts)
  3. What's the expected output format?
  4. Should we set up test cases to verify the skill works? Skills with objectively verifiable outputs (file transforms, data extraction, code generation, fixed workflow steps) benefit from test cases. Skills with subjective outputs (writing style, art) often don't need them. Suggest the appropriate default based on the skill type, but let the user decide.

Interview and Research

Proactively ask questions about edge cases, input/output formats, example files, success criteria, and dependencies. Wait to write test prompts until you've got this part ironed out.

Check available MCPs - if useful for research (searching docs, finding similar skills, looking up best practices), research in parallel via subagents if available, otherwise inline. Come prepared with context to reduce burden on the user.

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.
