create-skill

create-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yuanchuan/aivo. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,346 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for creating or improving reusable instructions for AI agents, stored as a skill file with its name, description, and workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design, scaffold, review, or refine an agent skill and make its triggering description clearer.
Why use it?
It gives repeatable tasks a documented process that agents can discover and apply consistently.

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 yesterday.

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

Create a Skill

This is the guided workflow for building new aivo skills and iteratively improving them. Your job is to figure out where the user is in the process and jump in to move them forward — sometimes that's "I want a skill for X" (start from scratch), sometimes it's "here's a draft, help me sharpen it" (go straight to review/iterate).

What a skill is

A skill is a folder holding a SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter (name, description) and a Markdown body of instructions. aivo discovers skills from these roots (project shadows user; first name wins):

  • Project: ./.agents/skills, ./.aivo/skills, ./.claude/skills
  • User: ~/.agents/skills, ~/.config/aivo/skills, ~/.claude/skills

~/.config/aivo/skills/<name>/ is the dir aivo owns and the one /skills add scaffolds into; /skills add -p (or --project) targets the repo's ./.agents/skills instead — for skills meant to ship with the project (note: the agent advertises repo-local skills as untrusted content). Discovery is on-demand, so a skill you create is usable immediately — no restart: the user can run it with /<name> right away, it shows up in /skills, and the model starts offering it (via the skill tool) from the next turn on.

skill-name/
├── SKILL.md            (required: frontmatter + instructions)
└── (optional bundles)
    ├── scripts/        executable helpers for deterministic/repetitive work
    ├── references/     docs the model reads into context as needed
    └── assets/         templates/icons/fonts used in output

Step 1 — Capture intent

Understand what the user wants before writing anything. The current conversation may already contain the workflow to capture ("turn this into a skill") — mine it for the tools used, the step sequence, the corrections the user made, and the input/output formats. Then confirm:

  1. What should this skill let the agent do?
  2. When should it trigger — what user phrases and contexts?
  3. What's the expected output (format, files, side effects)?
  4. Does it need bundled scripts/references, or is it pure instructions?

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.

create-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository yuanchuan/aivo (192 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 2,346 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
