skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ldclabs/anda-bot. It costs 69 tokens per session (3,102 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating and improving reusable instruction packages called skills for Anda Bot. Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file and may include supporting materials.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new skill, revise an existing one, convert a skill from another agent system, or improve its trigger description. It can also help write tests, run evaluations when available, and package the result.
Why use it?
Writing instructions that reliably trigger and guide an AI assistant takes more than drafting a few rules. This guide provides a process for creating, testing, evaluating, and packaging skills.

SkillSpector: 4 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high YARA Match · line 75
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.
  • high Prompt Injection · line 173
    This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Remove or rewrite any text that instructs the agent to ignore prompts, override safety rules, or trust unverified content. Ensure skill content cannot be injected to alter agent behavior.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 3
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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 21d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 421 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Creator

This skill helps create and improve Anda Bot runtime skills. Anda Bot loads skills from ~/.anda/skills or other configured skill directories. Each skill is a directory containing SKILL.md and optional bundled resources.

Use this skill to:

  • Create a new skill from a workflow the user describes.
  • Update an existing skill while preserving its name and contract.
  • Convert a skill written for another agent runtime into an Anda Bot skill.
  • Create behavior test prompts and trigger evals.
  • Run evals through anda agent run when a configured Anda runtime is available.
  • Package a finished skill for installation.

Core Loop

At a high level:

  1. Understand what the skill should help Anda Bot do.
  2. Draft or revise SKILL.md.
  3. Create a few realistic test prompts.
  4. Run the prompts with the skill and compare against a baseline when useful.
  5. Review qualitative outputs and quantitative checks with the user.
  6. Improve the skill based on evidence.
  7. Repeat until the skill is useful and not overfit.
  8. Optionally optimize the frontmatter description and package the skill.

Be flexible. If the user explicitly wants a quick edit without evals, make the edit and run lightweight validation instead of forcing the full loop.

Communicating With The User

Adjust terminology to the user's familiarity. "Eval" and "benchmark" are fine for technical users, but briefly explain them for users who may not use those terms. Avoid making skill creation sound harder than it is: the core file is a Markdown instruction file plus optional helper files.

Creating Or Updating A Skill

Capture Intent

Extract intent from the current conversation first. If the user says "turn this workflow into a skill", identify the sequence of steps, tools used, corrections the user made, input formats, output formats, and success criteria.

Answer these questions before drafting:

  1. What should this skill enable Anda Bot to do?
  2. When should the skill trigger? Include user phrases, file types, task types, and near-misses where it should not trigger.
  3. What should the output look like?
  4. What tools, local files, scripts, APIs, or external programs does it need?
  5. Should test cases be created now?

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.

skill-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository ldclabs/anda-bot (26 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 3,102 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
