These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

cowork-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/New-CoworkSkillPackage.ps1), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cowork Skill Creator

WHEN: Creating, scaffolding, reviewing, or packaging a Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork, co-work, or coworker skill for upload as a .zip or .skill archive.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Turn a repeatable workflow into a Cowork skill
  • Create or improve a Cowork SKILL.md
  • Produce an upload-ready Cowork skill archive
  • Package companion templates, test cases, or validation scripts with a skill

Do not use it for a one-time response that has no repeatable process or stable output contract.

Prerequisites

  • A workflow with a clear purpose, trigger, inputs, process, output, boundaries, and quality checks
  • PowerShell 7 or later for deterministic package validation and zip creation
  • Realistic, non-sensitive test inputs

Rationalization Table

Rationalization Reality
"SKILL.md alone is enough." The requested deliverable includes companion folders; populate each with material that supports the workflow.
"Empty folders show the intended structure." Empty folders disappear from zip archives and provide no reusable value.
"The user can zip it later." A creation request is complete only when the upload-ready archive is produced.
"Generic placeholder files can be refined later." Companion files must reflect the requested workflow and contain no TODO markers.
"Missing details can be inferred." Flag missing inputs and preserve uncertainty instead of inventing facts.
"The skill can send or publish automatically." Consequential actions require an explicit human-review checkpoint.

Decision Tree

Cowork skill requested?
+- One-time task with no stable method? -> Respond normally; do not create a skill.
+- Repeatable workflow?
|  +- Missing purpose, trigger, or output? -> Ask only for the missing essentials.
|  +- Complete enough to author? -> Create the package directory.
|  |  +- Deterministic helper is useful? -> Add a tailored script.
|  |  +- Reusable output structure exists? -> Add a tailored asset.
|  |  - Tests or domain detail help? -> Add a tailored reference.
|  - Validate and package -> Return the zip path.
- Existing package supplied? -> Review, repair, validate, and repackage it.

What ships with it

3 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.
