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

mk: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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/init-skill.py, scripts/validate-skill.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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Creator

Create new skills with proper structure, compliance, and registration.

Path convention: Commands below assume cwd is $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR (project root). Prefix paths with "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/" when invoking from subdirectories.

When to Use

  • User asks to "create a skill", "build a new skill", "make a skill for [X]"
  • Converting external skill for adoption
  • Scaffolding a skill from a workflow pattern

Explicit: /mk:skill-creator [name] [description]

Workflow Integration

Meta skill — not tied to a specific Phase. Invoked on-demand for skill development.

Scripts

Script-first approach — Python scripts handle scaffolding and validation. Claude reviews and fills in the content.

# Scaffold a new skill (creates directory + template SKILL.md)
.claude/skills/.venv/bin/python3 .claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/init-skill.py mk:my-feature --path .claude/skills

# Validate an existing skill against compliance checklist
.claude/skills/.venv/bin/python3 .claude/skills/skill-creator/scripts/validate-skill.py .claude/skills/my-feature

Process

  1. Gather intent — what should the skill do? When should it trigger? What output format?
  2. Scaffold — run init-skill.py to create directory + template SKILL.md with TODO markers
  3. Fill content — Claude completes each TODO section in the generated template
  4. Add references/ — if skill body would exceed ~100 lines, split into references
  5. Security boundaries — load mk:skill-template-secure template for trust model if needed
  6. Validate — run validate-skill.py to check compliance (8-point checklist)
  7. Fix failures — if validation score < 7/8, fix failing items
  8. Register — add row to SKILLS_ATTRIBUTION.md
  9. Report — output creation summary

Required Sections in Generated SKILL.md

Every skill MUST have:

# Frontmatter
name: "{name}"
description: "{specific trigger keywords + what it does}"

If the name already exist then use with prefix mk:

Files

What ships with it

6 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.
