What it does

Skills Factory is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Meta-skill for creating production-ready Claude Code skills using evaluation-driven development, progressive disclosure patterns, comprehensive validation, and two-Claude iterative methodology

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md`, `references/EVALUATION_GUIDE.md` and `references/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

Example prompts

  • “/skills-factory”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understanding the Domain
  2. Planning Your Architecture
  3. Initialize Skill Structure
  4. Design & Implement
  5. Validate & Package
  6. Iterate Using Two-Claude Methodology
  7. Deploy & Distribute

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • git
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Skills Factory loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~28k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~28k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,156 words (~3,183 tokens).
