skill-creator

Instructions for creating or updating a coding-agent skill: a reusable set of directions that guides an agent through a particular type of work. They cover naming, structure, triggers, outputs, and instruction quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining when a skill should run, documenting its expected results, choosing its structure, and handling edge cases.
Why use it?
They help turn a vague task guide into clear, focused instructions that an agent can apply reliably.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Skill Creator

When to use this skill

  • Use when the user wants to create a new skill or refine an existing one.

What this skill does

  • Guides structure, naming, frontmatter, and instruction quality for OK Code skills.

Implementation

  • Start by clarifying the skill's trigger conditions and output expectations.
  • Prefer concise, enforceable instructions over vague guidance.

Best practices

  • Keep skills scoped and reusable.
  • Document edge cases and tool assumptions explicitly.
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.
