What it does

Meta Skill Creator is an agent skill from clawdotnet/openclaw.net. Use this meta-skill instead of answering directly only when the current user explicitly asks to create, compose, synthesize, or propose a new meta-skill that orchestrates multiple existing skills. It uses multi-skill orchestration for intent clarification, optional history mining, trigger-collision checks, linting, smoke/runtime gates, preview, and optional proposal persistence. Do not use it for creating a normal standalone skill, asking how meta-skills work, analyzing pasted skill lists, or discussing existing…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring and Linting and formatting. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted Enterprise and Personal AI + agent runtime in .NET (NativeAOT-friendly). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating a normal standalone skill
  • Asking how meta-skills work
  • Analyzing pasted skill lists
  • Discussing existing meta-skills

Example prompts

  • “/meta-skill-creator”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. State which step failed (e.g. "harvest", "lint")
  2. Quote the error message from the orchestrator's structured log
  3. Stop. Do NOT improvise.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2344435. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Meta Skill Creator loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 240 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.8k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Meta-Skill Creator

Safeguarded DAG that synthesizes a new bundled meta-skill from observed skill co-occurrence patterns + user description of the desired workflow. It now separates preview-only, persisted-proposal, and fully gated modes so lightweight requests do not pay for persistence or smoke testing. The workflow separates generic skill creation from meta-skill composition, checks trigger collisions, classifies operational risk, and previews the proposal before optional persistence.

Output is a SKILL.md candidate written to ~/.openclaw/proposals/<id>/. By default it is not auto-loaded; run openclaw skills meta-runs proposals accept <session-id> --proposal <id> to enable. If the operator has enabled the auto-propose auto_enable setting, this manual path also runs the same conservative static safety preflight used by cron/dream auto-propose and may promote a low-risk gated proposal immediately.

Fallback

If creator's pipeline fails at any step, report the failure verbatim to the user:

  1. State which step failed (e.g. "harvest", "lint")
  2. Quote the error message from the orchestrator's structured log
  3. Stop. Do NOT improvise.

Do NOT:

  • Claim a proposal was written unless you have verified it by reading ~/.openclaw/proposals/<id>/SKILL.md with the read_file tool
  • Invent file paths, proposal IDs, or skill names that you have not seen in the orchestrator's actual output
  • "Manually run" the individual skills as a recovery — that bypasses the validation gates the user explicitly opted into

If the user wants to retry, suggest they re-issue the request after the underlying error is resolved (often a sandbox or provider issue), not a manual workaround.
