skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code from mishahanin/heading-os. It costs 76 tokens per session (3,977 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A toolkit for creating, testing, and improving coding-agent skills. It guides you from an initial idea through drafts, test prompts, evaluations, and revisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a new skill, revise an existing one, run evaluations, compare results, and improve the skill's instructions.
Why use it?
It replaces an ad hoc process with a repeatable way to check whether a skill works and find where it needs improvement.

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 C, and why

skill-creator scanned grade C 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 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.

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Skill Creator

A skill for creating new skills and iteratively improving them.

At a high level, the process of creating a skill goes like this:

  • Decide what you want the skill to do and roughly how it should do it
  • Write a draft of the skill
  • Create a few test prompts and run claude-with-access-to-the-skill on them
  • Help the user evaluate the results both qualitatively and quantitatively
    • While the runs happen in the background, draft some quantitative evals if there are none. Use any that exist as they are, or modify them where something needs to change. Then explain them to the user.
    • Run eval-viewer/generate_review.py to show the user the results and the quantitative metrics
  • Rewrite the skill from the user's evaluation of the results. Also fix any glaring flaw that the quantitative benchmarks make apparent.
  • Repeat until you're satisfied
  • Expand the test set and try again at larger scale

Find out where the user stands in this process, then help them through the remaining stages. Say they open with "I want to make a skill for X". Narrow down what they mean, write a draft, write the test cases, agree how to evaluate, run the prompts, and repeat.

On the other hand, maybe they already have a draft of the skill. In this case you can go straight to the eval/iterate part of the loop.

Stay flexible. If the user says "I don't need a bunch of evaluations, just vibe with me", do that instead.

Once the skill is done, and the order here is flexible too, run the skill description improver. A separate script owns it, and it optimizes how the skill triggers.

Cool? Cool.

Communicating with the user

The skill creator is liable to be used by people across a wide range of familiarity with coding jargon. If you haven't heard (and how could you, it's only very recently that it started), there's a trend now where the power of Claude is inspiring plumbers to open up their terminals, parents and grandparents to google "how to install npm". On the other hand, the bulk of users are probably fairly computer-literate.
