common-skill-creator

common-skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,559 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for creating and reviewing Skills—written instructions that guide coding agents through specific tasks. It focuses on making each Skill trigger in the right situations and give concise, actionable guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing, auditing, testing, and refining SKILL.md files for coding agents such as Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Why use it?
It helps prevent Skills from activating too often, too rarely, or producing vague instructions. It also provides a way to test whether a Skill improves an agent’s results.

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

common-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 12d 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.

Agent Skill Creator Standard

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Applies to every skill in this registry. Maximize Token ROI. Every line in SKILL.md must provide specific procedural value. Activation (how it triggers) and Implementation (how it helps) primary quality metrics.

Three-Level Loading System

  • Level 1 Frontmatter: name + description (Activation Anchor), ≤100 words.
  • Level 2 SKILL.md body: Core Rules + Workflows (Implementation Core), ≤100 lines.
  • Level 3 references/: Detailed examples, schemas, and "TESTS.md" (On-demand).

Workflow (New or Existing Skill)

New skill:

  1. Research — web-search domain best practices, checklists, and standards; extract key terms → triggers, workflows → guidelines, mistakes → anti-patterns. See Web Search Research.
  2. Capture intent — what it , when it trigger, expected output format?
  3. Draft the SKILL.md — draft using TEMPLATE.md
  4. Test — spawn parallel subagents: one with-skill, one without-skill (baseline)
  5. Evaluate — grade assertions, review benchmark (pass rate, tokens, time)
  6. Iterate — rewrite based on feedback, rerun into next iteration dir, repeat
  7. Optimize description — run trigger eval queries, target ≥80% accuracy
  8. Pressure-test — for discipline skills, capture agent excuses, red flags, and stop conditions Existing skill:
  9. Audit — run Quality Checklist below; identify violations
  10. Snapshotcp -r <skill-dir> <workspace>/skill-snapshot/ before any edits
  11. Improve SKILL.md — fix violations, compress, move oversized content to references/
  12. Test — spawn parallel subagents: one with-new-skill, one with-snapshot (baseline)
  13. Evaluate & iterate — same as steps 4–5 above
  14. Optimize description — re-run trigger eval if description changed
  15. Harden — add rationalization counters where agents still fail under pressure See Eval Workflow for full testing + iteration details.

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.
