skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Illuminated2020/DeepAgents-AutoGLM. It costs 159 tokens per session (4,261 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of skill-creator, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating skills, which are reusable instruction packages that give a coding agent specialist knowledge or workflows. It covers how to organize and install these packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning, writing and organizing a new agent skill, or understanding where skills are loaded from and which version takes priority.
Why use it?
It helps you turn repeated instructions into a structured skill that an agent can use consistently. The available details do not describe any automated creation feature.

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/init_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.

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.

About Skills

Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend agent capabilities by providing specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific domains or tasks—they transform a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent equipped with procedural knowledge and domain expertise.

Skill Location for Deepagents

The deepagents CLI loads skills from five sources, listed here from lowest to highest precedence:

# Directory Scope Notes
0 <package>/built_in_skills/ Built-in Ships with deepagents CLI
1 ~/.deepagents/<agent>/skills/ User (deepagents alias) Default for deepagents skills create
2 ~/.agents/skills/ User Shared across agent tools
3 .deepagents/skills/ Project (deepagents alias) Default for deepagents skills create --project
4 .agents/skills/ Project Shared across agent tools

<agent> is the agent configuration name (default: agent). When two directories contain a skill with the same name, the higher-precedence version wins — project skills override user skills, and any user or project skill overrides built-in skills.

Example directory layout:

~/.deepagents/agent/skills/     # user skills (lowest precedence)
├── skill-name-1/
│   └── SKILL.md
└── ...

<project-root>/.deepagents/skills/   # project skills (higher precedence)
├── skill-name-2/
│   └── SKILL.md
└── ...

What Skills Provide

  1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
  2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
  3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
  4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks

Core Principles

Concise is Key

The context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with everything else the agent needs: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills' metadata, and the actual user request.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
