A guided builder for creating a custom experiment-orchestration skill for a simulation project. It first examines the project, asks 17 questions, and produces instructions and files tailored to that framework.

Use it to create a skill that turns experiment ideas into validated simulation configurations, while keeping the AI from running the simulations itself.

It avoids forcing a generic experiment workflow onto a project with different configuration formats and class registries. It also checks the generated setup against an existing configuration.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00057	$0.01747
Opus 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00699
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00349
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00175

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Creator — meta-skill that builds experiment-orchestration skills

You are generating a skill that lives inside another project. The output is a working clone of paper-to-experiment adapted to that project's simulation framework.

Hard rules

Inspect first, ask second. Read the user's project root before any question. Files >> their description.
Don't invent fields. If a question's answer can't be inferred from the codebase, surface it; don't guess.
Skill output is text-only. No GPU, no simulations, no --apply to user files outside .claude/skills/<generated>/.
Generated skill must validate. Before handing off, dry-run the schema against one of the user's existing configs.
Single source of class registry. Generated skill must point at one runtime registry (e.g. tools/registry.py), never at scattered references.
AI only produces config; never executes. This contract is non-negotiable in every generated skill.

Process

1. Inspect repo  →  2. Interview (17 Q) →  3. Fill profile
                                              ↓
       6. Hand off  ←  5. Self-test  ←  4. Generate skill

Step 1 — Inspect repo

Read in order:

pyproject.toml / package.json / Cargo.toml (language + deps)
The user's main entry script (whatever runs a simulation)
One existing config file (the kind of artifact the new skill will produce)
docs/ for any README / architecture notes

Catalog: language, config format (JSON/YAML/TOML/Python), entry-script signature, output dir convention, existing analyzer/plotter classes.

Step 2 — Interview

Open templates/interview.md, ask the 17 questions in order. One question per turn. Multiple-choice when possible. Skip questions whose answers you already inferred — and say so ("from inspecting <file>, I'll assume X; correct?").

Step 3 — Fill profile

Save user answers + inspections to docs/specs/<TS>-<framework-name>-profile.md using templates/framework_profile.md as scaffold. This file is the input contract for skill generation.

What ships with it

8 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.

creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository thematteroftime/agentic-md-for-dummies (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,747 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 2026-08-31.
