skills-creator

skills-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Stack-Cairn/LiveAgent. It costs 53 tokens per session (708 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating or updating LiveAgent skills, which are reusable instructions for handling specific tasks. It covers writing the instructions, adding supporting files, validating them, and packaging them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new skill, revise an existing one, or prepare a skill for the LiveAgent skills system. It helps define the trigger, workflow, references, and required files.
Why use it?
It helps turn a workflow into a consistent skill that agents can follow and reuse. It also keeps the main instructions concise and separates reference material and helper files where needed.

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

skills-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 4d 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skills Creator

Create LiveAgent-compatible skills in the fixed runtime skills root by keeping the entrypoint concise, moving long guidance into references, and using helper files only when the workflow truly needs them. Prefer English for generated skill documentation so skills stay broadly reusable, but other languages are accepted.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the target skill name, trigger description, captured workflow, and any required reference/helper files.
  2. Read references/agent-skill-format.md and references/authoring-patterns.md through file tools before shaping long instructions. Use path="skill://skills-creator/references/agent-skill-format.md" and path="skill://skills-creator/references/authoring-patterns.md", or use the exact pathRef returned by a prior tool.
  3. Draft the SKILL.md body in imperative form. Keep frontmatter to name and description unless a compatibility reason requires an optional key.
  4. Move deterministic or reusable details into files only when they are truly needed; keep explanatory material in references/; keep output-only resources in assets/.
  5. Use SkillsManager(action=create) to write the skill into the fixed user skills root. Keep conflict=fail unless the user explicitly wants replacement.
  6. Use SkillsManager(action=validate) after creation. Fix validation errors before packaging.
  7. Use SkillsManager(action=package) only after validation passes and a distributable archive is required.
  8. After creation, the new skill is enabled for the current conversation automatically; ask LiveAgent to rescan skills or reopen the Skills menu only if the new skill does not appear immediately.

Rules

  • Keep one skill per directory.
  • Name the directory exactly after the skill name.
  • Prefer English for generated skill documents, including SKILL.md, Markdown files in references/, and example documentation; follow the user's language preference when they state one.
  • Do not add README-style files such as README.md, INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md, QUICK_REFERENCE.md, or CHANGELOG.md inside a skill.
  • Prefer one-hop references from SKILL.md; do not build deep reference chains.
  • Keep the SKILL.md body short enough to read comfortably through SkillsManager.
  • When inspecting or optimizing files inside an enabled installed skill, use Read, List, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, or Delete with the exact path you see: prefer skill://<baseDir>/... or a pathRef returned by a tool. Do not use Bash for workspace or Skill file operations.
  • Create new skill directories through SkillsManager(action=create) or SkillsManager(action=install). Use conflict=backup or conflict=overwrite only when the user has accepted replacement.
  • Creating a skill automatically enables it for the current conversation.

Files

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.
