skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tmustier/pi-extensions. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating or updating Agent Skills, which are instruction packages that coding agents can load for specific tasks. It covers the required files, naming rules, and supported installation locations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design, refine, package, or document a new skill for Pi and compatible coding-agent clients.
Why use it?
It provides the structure and rules needed for an agent skill to be discovered and used correctly.

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.

Fable 5 $0.00054 $0.01154

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/validate_skill.py, tests/test_validate_skill.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Skill Creator

Provide guidance for creating effective Agent Skills that Pi and other compatible agent clients can load. Use Agent Skill / Agent Skills terminology, and keep Pi-specific discovery or packaging notes clearly scoped to Pi.

Agent Skills format (Pi-compatible)

  • Required frontmatter: name, description. Directory name must equal name.
  • Name rules: 1–64 chars, lowercase letters/digits/hyphens, no leading/trailing/consecutive hyphens.
  • Optional frontmatter: license, compatibility, metadata (arbitrary key-value pairs for tooling), allowed-tools (experimental; support varies by client).
  • disable-model-invocation: when set, Pi will not auto-trigger the skill; the user must invoke it explicitly with /skill:name.
  • Paths are relative to the skill directory; {baseDir} placeholders are not supported.
  • Pi loads Agent Skills from ~/.pi/agent/skills/, ~/.agents/skills/, .pi/skills/, .agents/skills/, package skills entries, settings skills, or --skill <path>.
agent-skill/
├── SKILL.md
├── README.md         # Optional: human summary + installation
├── scripts/          # Optional executables
├── references/       # Optional docs loaded on demand
└── assets/           # Optional templates/assets

Workflow

1) Clarify use cases

2–4 concrete example requests usually suffice to scope triggers and functionality.

2) Plan reusable resources

For each example, decide if you need:

  • scripts/ for deterministic tasks
  • references/ for long docs or schemas
  • assets/ for templates or boilerplate

3) Create the skeleton

An Agent Skill needs a directory containing a SKILL.md. Only add resource sub-directories that are actually needed.

mkdir -p ~/.pi/agent/skills/my-skill
touch ~/.pi/agent/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md

Use .agents/skills/ when you want the same skill directory to be naturally discoverable by other Agent Skills-compatible clients too.

4) Optional: Write README.md (humans + installation)

Files

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.

skill-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository tmustier/pi-extensions (473 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,154 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
