Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Agent Snooping · line 28 Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.
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 | $0.00041 | $0.02634 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.01317 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00527 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00263 |
Grade A, and why
create-skill-file 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 11d 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 — 475 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Quick Start
3 Steps to Create a Skill
Step 1: Create Directory
mkdir -p .claude/skill/your-skill-name
cd .claude/skill/your-skill-name
Step 2: Create SKILL.md
---
name: your-skill-name
description: Brief description with trigger keywords and scenarios
---
# Your Skill Title
## When to Use This Skill
- User asks to [specific scenario]
- User mentions "[keyword]"
## How It Works
1. Step 1: [Action]
2. Step 2: [Action]
## Examples
**Input**: User request
**Output**: Expected result
Step 3: Test
- Use keywords from description in conversation to trigger
- Observe whether Claude executes correctly
- Adjust based on effectiveness
Core Principles
1. Keep It Concise
Only add new knowledge that Claude doesn't know:
- ✅ Project-specific workflows
- ✅ Special naming conventions or format requirements
- ✅ How to use custom tools and scripts
- ❌ General programming knowledge
- ❌ Obvious steps
Example Comparison:
# ❌ Too Detailed
1. Create Python file
2. Import necessary libraries
3. Define functions
4. Write main program logic
# ✅ Concise and Effective
Use `scripts/api_client.py` to call internal API.
Request headers must include `X-Internal-Token` (from environment variable `INTERNAL_API_KEY`).
2. Set Appropriate Freedom
| Freedom | Use Case | Writing Approach |
|---|---|---|
| High | Requires creativity, multiple solutions | Provide guiding principles, not specific steps |
| Medium | Recommended patterns but allow variations | Provide parameterized examples and default flows |
| Low | Error-prone, requires strict execution | Provide detailed step-by-step instructions or scripts |
What ships with it
4 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.
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 475 lines · 41 tokens per session scan A 82871ea386f4
create-skill-file is a skill published in the GitHub repository YYH211/Claude-meta-skill (277 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,634 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
