skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code from lttr/claude-marketplace. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,191 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and editing Claude Code skills, which are reusable instructions for handling specific development tasks. It covers requirements, where to place a skill, complexity, and how to draft it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update a skill, including a new slash command, and to decide whether it needs only instructions or also scripts, reference documents, or other bundled files.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to turn a workflow or domain process into a usable skill instead of starting from an empty file.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; positional $N argument.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Process

1. Gather requirements

Ask the user:

  • What task/domain does the skill cover?
  • What specific use cases should it handle?
  • Does it need executable scripts or just instructions?
  • Any reference materials to include?

If the user's description is already clear, skip straight to drafting.

2. Determine placement

Infer from context, ask only if ambiguous:

  • Global (~/.claude/skills/) - across all projects
  • Project (<project>/.claude/skills/) - repo-specific
  • Plugin (<plugin>/plugins/<name>/skills/) - distributed via marketplace

3. Assess complexity

Simple (just write the SKILL.md):

  • Purely instructional (workflow, guidelines, domain knowledge)
  • No supporting files needed

Full (skill with bundled resources):

  • Needs scripts for deterministic/repeated operations
  • Needs reference docs (schemas, API docs, large knowledge bases)
  • Needs assets (templates, images, fonts)

4. Draft the skill

Simple path: Create the directory and write SKILL.md directly.

Full path:

  1. Plan supporting files (what scripts/references/assets are needed)
  2. Create the skill directory and subdirs
  3. Write supporting files first (may need user input for assets/docs)
  4. Write SKILL.md last, referencing the supporting files

5. Review with user

Present draft and iterate. Skills improve most after real usage.

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.
