write-skill

write-skill is a skill for Claude Code from LandonSchropp/agent-toolkit. It costs 53 tokens per session (804 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating, editing, evaluating, testing, or verifying coding-agent skills and their files. Skills are reusable instruction packages that teach an agent how to handle a specific kind of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or changing a SKILL.md file, its scripts, resources, or assets, or when checking whether a skill works as intended.
Why use it?
It helps ensure a skill’s instructions and supporting files are complete, testable, and effective.

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

write-skill 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 15d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Understand Requirements First

When asked to create or edit a skill:

  1. If helpful, ask clarifying questions about the skill's purpose:

    • What specific problem does this skill solve?
    • What should the output/outcome be?
    • What context or inputs will the skill work with?
    • What are the key behaviors or patterns it should enforce?
  2. Summarize your understanding and get user confirmation:

    • "Let me confirm: this skill should [summary]. Is this correct?"
    • Wait for user approval before proceeding

You cannot create a good skill without understanding what you're building.

New Plugins

A skill in a new plugin stays invisible until the plugin is registered and enabled, so land that first, as its own commit, before writing the skill:

  1. Add plugins/<plugin>/.claude-plugin/plugin.json and the plugin's entry in the repository's root .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
  2. Enable it in both Claude Code settings files, ~/.dotfiles/tag-personal/claude/settings.json and ~/.dotfiles/tag-work/claude/settings.json, as "<plugin>@landonschropp": true. Missing one leaves the plugin working on only half the machines.

The dotfiles are a separate repository, so that step lands there. Claude Code reads the setting at startup, so the new skill only appears in sessions opened afterwards.

Testing

After writing a skill, ask the user: "Would you like me to test the skill?" (Skills are often manually tested by the user, or can't be tested in an automated way, so you should ask before proceeding.)

If the user opts for the agent to test the skill:

  1. Design a scenario that exercises the skill's core purpose. Describe it to the user and get approval before running it.
  2. Run the scenario with a subagent. Document exactly what the agent did—what choices it made, what worked, what didn't.
  3. If the agent failed or rationalized away the skill's intent, identify the gap, add an explicit counter to the skill, and re-test.
  4. Repeat until the skill reliably produces the intended behavior.

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.

write-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository LandonSchropp/agent-toolkit (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 804 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
