skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from qhkm/zeptoclaw. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,333 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating or updating ZeptoClaw skills, which are reusable instructions that teach an agent how to handle specific tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design a new skill, decide what information it should contain, choose its structure, and improve an existing skill.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague ideas into skills with clear examples, reusable commands, references, templates, and ordered procedures.

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 →

  • medium Rogue Agent · line 48
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Output Handling · line 98
    Output size or generation rate is not bounded. Unbounded output enables denial-of-service through resource exhaustion, log flooding, or context-window stuffing.
    Fix: Set explicit limits on output length, generation count, and rate. Use max_tokens and truncation to prevent unbounded output.

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 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Creator

Guide users through designing and building ZeptoClaw skills. Follow these six steps in order — do not skip ahead.

Step 1 — Gather Concrete Examples

Before designing anything, ask the user for 3-5 real queries or tasks the skill should handle. Collect actual example inputs and expected behaviors. Do not proceed until you have concrete use cases — vague ideas produce vague skills.

Step 2 — Analyze Reusable Content

For each example, ask: "What would need to be looked up, computed, or re-done each time without this skill?" The answers become the skill's content. Discard anything the agent already knows how to do without help.

Categories of reusable content:

  • Commands/scripts — exact CLI invocations, API calls, shell pipelines
  • References — URLs, lookup tables, domain-specific facts the agent wouldn't know
  • Templates — message formats, boilerplate, structured output patterns
  • Workflows — multi-step procedures with specific ordering constraints

If nothing survives this filter, the user may not need a skill — say so.

Step 3 — Choose Structure and Freedom Level

Pick the structural pattern that best fits the content:

Pattern When to use Example
Workflow Ordered multi-step process deploy-docker, release-notes
Task-based Independent tasks, any order shopee, github
Reference Lookup information weather, api-cheatsheet
Capabilities Agent behaviors/personas code-reviewer, translator

Then assign a freedom level to each piece of content:

  • High freedom (text instructions): Multiple valid approaches exist. Let the agent decide how to execute. Use for guidelines, principles, and flexible tasks.
  • Medium freedom (pseudocode or parameterized commands): A preferred pattern exists but details vary. Use for common workflows with variable inputs.
  • Low freedom (exact commands/scripts): Fragile or error-prone operations where precision matters. Use for API calls with specific syntax, deployment commands, or data formats.

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.

skill-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository qhkm/zeptoclaw (651 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,333 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
