What it does
Skill Creator is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. Create or update AgentSkills for CoWork-OSS. Use when designing, structuring, or packaging skills. Supports JSON format with requirements, installation specs, and metadata.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/full-guidance.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Packaging skills
- Tasks that involve Skill authoring
Example prompts
- “/skill-creator”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ace02b. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
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
Skill Creator loads about 493 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 219 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
The full file from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS at commit 0ace02b, republished under its MIT licence (© CoWork-OS). 219 words, ~493 tokens.
