skill-create-flow

skill-create-flow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from okwinds/miscellany. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,538 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeatable workflow for creating new skills for coding agents, from narrowing the idea to writing the instructions and supporting examples. It includes self-checks using test prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create procedural skills for debugging, reviews, specifications, architecture, research, or other multi-step tasks.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague idea into a skill with a clear purpose, consistent behavior, and quality checks. The resulting skill is designed to work on its own rather than depend on other skills.

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-create-flow 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 2mo 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 Create Flow

Build a new skill using a repeatable, high-signal workflow that separates methodology discovery from packaging**—without requiring any other skills to be installed or invoked.

Best for

This workflow excels at creating procedural agent skills where the value comes from following a structured methodology rather than raw knowledge retrieval.

Ideal skill types:

  • Methodology-based: Debugging, code reviews, writing specs, systematic problem-solving
  • Decision-heavy: Architecture decisions, UX design, business strategy, negotiation
  • Multi-step workflows: Defined sequence of operations with clear deliverables
  • Quality-focused: Where "excellent vs mediocre" output is distinguishable

Less ideal for:

  • Pure reference/lookup skills (use knowledge retrieval instead)
  • Simple one-shot commands (use direct tool invocation instead)
  • Skills requiring external dependencies (this flow produces standalone skills)

Scope & Outputs

You are producing a new skill folder (with its own SKILL.md and optional bundled resources). This flow helps you:

  • Narrow the intent until “excellent vs mediocre” is judgeable.
  • Extract expert frameworks (when needed).
  • Generate a production-ready, testable skill spec and artifacts.

Target artifacts (recommended)

  • SKILL.md
  • examples/ (1 tiny example)
  • tests/ (3–5 eval prompts or scenarios)
  • index_entry.json (if you maintain a skill index)
  • CHANGELOG.md (optional but helpful for iteration)

Decision Rules (Pick the Track)

Track A — Non-technical / judgment-heavy (default if unsure)

Examples: writing, sales, hiring, product decisions, strategy, negotiation.

Use the full flow below (steps 1–6).

Track B — Technical / objective correctness dominates

Examples: code generation patterns, CLI automation, infrastructure scripts, data pipelines.

Usually shorten Step 2 (“expert frameworks”) and spend more time on Step 5 (“validation”).

What ships with it

2 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.
