skill-creator

skill-creator is a skill for Claude Code from waybarrios/opencode-power-pack. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,810 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and improving coding-agent skills, which are reusable instructions stored in SKILL.md files. It covers drafting a skill, trying it on realistic prompts, checking the results, and improving when it activates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a skill from scratch, edit an existing one, improve its description, or turn a demonstrated workflow into a reusable skill.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to turn a workflow into instructions that an agent can follow and trigger accurately. It also helps find unclear or unreliable parts through testing.

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.

Skill Creator

A skill for creating new skills and iteratively improving them.

At a high level, the process of creating a skill goes like this:

  • Decide what the skill should do and roughly how it should do it
  • Write a draft of the skill (SKILL.md)
  • Try the skill on a few realistic test prompts
  • Evaluate the results, both qualitatively (does the output look right?) and, where possible, with simple verifiable assertions
  • Refine the skill based on what you observed
  • Repeat until satisfied
  • Optimize the description for accurate triggering

Your job when using this skill is to figure out where the user is in this process and help them progress through the stages. If they say "I want to make a skill for X", help narrow down what they mean, write a draft, try a few realistic prompts, and iterate. If they already have a draft, jump straight to testing and iterating.

If the user just says "vibe with me, no formal evals", do that.

Communicating with the user

Skill-creator is liable to be used by people across a wide range of familiarity with coding jargon. Pay attention to context cues:

  • "evaluation" / "benchmark" — borderline OK
  • "JSON" / "assertion" — explain unless the user shows familiarity

It is fine to briefly clarify a term when in doubt.

Capture intent

Start by understanding what the user wants. The current conversation may already contain the workflow to capture (e.g., they say "turn this into a skill"). If so, extract answers from the conversation history first — the tools used, the sequence of steps, corrections made, the input/output formats observed. The user can fill the gaps and confirm.

Ask:

  1. What should this skill enable the model to do?
  2. When should this skill trigger? (what user phrases / contexts)
  3. What is the expected output format?
  4. Should we set up test cases to verify the skill works? Skills with objectively verifiable outputs (file transforms, data extraction, code generation, fixed workflow steps) benefit from test cases. Skills with subjective outputs (writing style, art) often do not. Suggest the appropriate default but let the user decide.

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 waybarrios/opencode-power-pack (544 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,810 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
