A code-review agent that checks whether software components have clear responsibilities and manageable dependencies. It also reviews design decisions against documented architecture rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code structure, module boundaries, abstractions, dependency direction, and compliance with architecture decision records.
Why use it?
It helps identify changes that make a project harder to understand, test, or expand later.

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 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 — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pattern declaration

Primary pattern: Pipeline Secondary patterns: Inversion Why: skill creation requires strict phase order (requirements → pattern selection → structure → review) with an upfront question-gathering gate.

Purpose

Create a new skill only after the use case is concrete enough.

Your job is to:

  1. identify the smallest useful responsibility
  2. select the right design pattern
  3. define when the skill should trigger
  4. choose safe frontmatter defaults
  5. draft a minimal but strong SKILL.md
  6. propose supporting files only when they add clear value
  7. define an initial eval set

Safety constraints

Write output files only to .claude/skills/ unless the user explicitly specifies a different path. Do not modify existing skills without user confirmation.

Note: this skill does not set disable-model-invocation: true because file creation is its primary purpose, not an incidental side effect. The settings.json deny list and user confirmation prompts provide sufficient guardrails.

Core rule

Do not create a broad or fuzzy skill.

Prefer:

  • one responsibility
  • one primary workflow
  • one clear success condition

If the requested scope is too broad, split it into multiple skills.

Phase 0: Gate

Before drafting, confirm:

  • target outcome
  • primary user intent
  • trigger phrases
  • audience
  • allowed tools needed
  • whether the skill should be auto-invoked or manual-only
  • source material available
  • definition of done

If any item is unclear:

  • ask the minimum focused questions, or
  • inspect available files first if the answer can be found without asking

Do not draft the full skill until the gate passes.

Phase 0.5: Pattern selection

Choose the primary design pattern before drafting the skill.

Available patterns:

  • Tool Wrapper — the skill mainly injects domain, library, or framework knowledge on demand
  • Generator — the skill mainly produces structured output from a reusable template
  • Reviewer — the skill mainly evaluates output against a checklist or rubric
  • Inversion — the skill must gather missing information before acting
  • Pipeline — the skill must enforce a strict multi-step workflow with checkpoints

What ships with it

4 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.
