create-skill

create-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from usefulmove/enso. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,140 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing reusable skills: instruction files that teach a coding agent how and when to perform a recurring task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new SKILL.md, define when the skill should be used, and organize supporting files such as scripts.
Why use it?
It turns a repeated procedure into a documented capability that can be found and loaded in later sessions.

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

create-skill 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

Load this skill when:

  • A recurring task has no existing skill
  • A complex procedure needs to be captured for reuse
  • A capability gap is identified during a session
  • The user asks to create or formalize a skill

Spec Reference

The authoritative opencode skill specification lives at: https://opencode.ai/docs/skills/

Consult it for current frontmatter fields, name validation rules, length limits, and permission configuration. The summary below reflects current best practice — when in doubt, the spec takes precedence.


What Makes a Good Skill

A skill is a reusable, loadable workflow — not a one-off script. It should:

  • Solve a specific, recurring problem
  • Be general enough to apply across projects
  • Be concise enough to load without bloating the context window
  • Tell the agent when to use it, not just how

A skill is not:

  • A project-specific script (put that in docs/skills/<project>/ or scripts/)
  • A reference document (put that in docs/reference/)
  • A story or task (put that in docs/stories/)

Skill Structure

docs/skills/<skill-name>/
  SKILL.md          # required — the skill itself
  scripts/          # optional — helper scripts
  references/       # optional — reference material
  assets/           # optional — templates, examples

SKILL.md is the only required file. Add supporting directories only when they add real value.

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.
