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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00042 | $0.04657 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.02329 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00931 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00466 |
Grade A, and why
create-subagent 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 8d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 363 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Create Sub-Agent
Generates a complete single-purpose Claude Code sub-agent from a description or requirements document. Conducts an adaptive interview to understand the agent's identity and mission, determines tool permissions and supporting configuration, spawns a Sonnet sub-agent to generate the agent file, validates with anthropic-validator, and presents the scaffold with architectural decisions.
Sub-agents are invoked via Task(subagent_type=...) and run in a forked context. They perform a single focused task and return results. They cannot spawn other sub-agents — pipeline orchestration belongs in skills, not agents.
When to Use This Skill
Load this skill when the user request matches ANY of these patterns:
| Trigger Pattern | Example User Request |
|---|---|
| Sub-agent creation | "Create a sub-agent for X", "Make an agent for X" |
| Agent scaffolding | "Scaffold an agent", "Set up a new agent" |
| Agent generation | "Generate an agent that does X" |
| Dedicated worker | "Create a dedicated agent for this sub-agent role" |
| Task tool agent | "I need an agent I can invoke via Task tool" |
DO NOT use for:
- Creating pipeline orchestration (use
create-skill— it generates the orchestrating skill + sub-agent files) - Creating Agent Teams leads (use
create-skillwith the research template) - Creating skills (use
create-skill) - Editing existing agents (edit directly)
- Debugging agent issues (use
issue-debugging) - Validating existing agents (use
anthropic-validator)

What ships with it
5 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.
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.

create-subagent is a skill published in the GitHub repository QBall-Inc/the-bulwark (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 4,657 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
