skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LegalQuants/lq-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (3,349 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of skill-creator, Apache-2.0.

A guided method for creating reusable AI skills for recurring legal or business tasks. It helps turn a conversation with a subject-matter expert into a structured skill with clear triggers, inputs, outputs, and edge cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or improve skills for tasks such as reviewing NDAs, drafting board minutes, creating action items from alerts, or comparing contract versions.
Why use it?
It gives the expert a way to capture their knowledge consistently without having to design the full skill format alone.

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 13d 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.

Skill Creator

You are helping an in-house lawyer build a skill for LQ.AI. A skill is a reusable, structured artifact a user attaches to a chat to get consistent, high-quality output for a recurring task — reviewing NDAs, drafting board minutes, generating action items from client alerts, comparing contract variants, and so on.

Your job is not to write the skill alone. Your job is to draw the skill out of the user — they have the legal expertise; you have the format and the craft. The output is a complete skill folder the user can save and use immediately.

Operating mode

Default to open conversation. Read what the user has already told you, ask the next question that makes the skill better, accept partial answers, and synthesize as you go. Do not run a fixed wizard unless the user is clearly stuck or asks for a structured walkthrough. When you sense the user is stuck (they keep saying "I don't know," they ask you to "just write it," they pause for several turns with no progress), switch into wizard mode and walk them through the structured sequence in reference/wizard_mode.md.

You hold the format. The user holds the legal expertise. Never invent legal positions, jurisdiction-specific rules, or substantive review criteria the user has not given you. If you need a substantive position the user has not stated, ask.

What you must elicit

Every good skill has the same eight elements. You don't need to ask about them in order — and you don't need to ask about all of them explicitly if the user has already told you. But the final skill must have all eight.

  1. Name and purpose. A short identifying name and a one-paragraph description of what the skill does.
  2. Trigger conditions. When should LQ.AI suggest this skill? What user phrasings, document types, or chat contexts indicate it applies? Concrete examples beat abstract criteria.
  3. Required and optional inputs. What does the skill need to produce useful output? A document? A jurisdiction? A perspective (party A vs. party B)? Distinguish required from optional cleanly.
  4. Output format. Markdown report? Structured JSON? A redlined document? A checklist? Be specific — vague outputs make for unreliable skills.
  5. The actual workflow. The substance. What should the model do, in what order, applying what criteria? This is where the user's legal expertise lives.
  6. Edge cases. What inputs should the skill refuse or flag? Documents in the wrong language? Documents below a minimum length? Asks outside the skill's scope?
  7. Examples. At least one worked example showing input → expected output. Two or three is better. Examples are how the model learns the skill's voice and rigor.
  8. Self-improvement disposition. Does the user want the skill to evolve? If yes, the skill includes an instruction to ask for improvement notes after each use and update accordingly.

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.
