skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stippi/code-assistant. It costs 47 tokens per session (929 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide and workflow for creating Agent Skills, which are reusable instruction files that teach a coding agent how to handle a specific task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold, write, improve, or validate a skill stored in a SKILL.md file.
Why use it?
Creating a skill involves decisions about its scope, structure, instructions, resources, and validation. The guide helps keep those pieces correctly organized.

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 →

    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.

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 1mo 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Creator

A skill is a reusable, task-specific playbook stored as a SKILL.md file in a directory named after the skill. Skills are advertised in the system prompt by name + description (progressive disclosure); their full instructions are loaded on demand with the read_skill tool.

Use this skill whenever the user asks to create, author, or improve a skill.

1. Choose a scope

A skill lives in one of three scopes. Pick based on how widely it should apply:

  • project — <project_root>/.agents/skills/<name>/ — specific to one repo. Load with read_skill(project="<project-name>", name="<name>"); read its resources with read_files(project="<project-name>", ...).
  • user — ~/.agents/skills/<name>/ — your personal skills, available in every project (and shared with other agent harnesses). Addressed by the scope token :config:; load with read_skill(project=":config:", ...).
  • system — token :system: — bundled skills (like this one). Usually read-only.

On a name collision, project wins over user wins over system.

2. Write SKILL.md

The file MUST start with a YAML frontmatter block delimited by --- lines, followed by a free-form Markdown body:

---
name: my-skill
description: One-paragraph routing description the model uses to decide when to load this skill.
---

# My Skill

...instructions...

Frontmatter rules (enforced by the loader):

  • name is required, must be lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only, at most 64 characters, and must equal the directory name.
  • description is required, at most 1024 characters. Write it as a routing signal: say when to use the skill, not just what it does.
  • disable-model-invocation (optional, default false): when true, the skill is hidden from the model-facing catalog and the list_skills tool so the model never auto-invokes it. It stays loadable via read_skill (e.g. when a user explicitly activates it) and visible in the settings UI. Use this for skills that should only run on explicit user request.
  • Other keys (license, allowed-tools, metadata, etc.) are allowed and ignored for now.

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 stippi/code-assistant (183 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 929 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
