What it does

Skill Creator is an agent skill from dkyazzentwatwa/chatgpt-skills. Create or update agent skills with concise SKILL.md instructions, bundled resources, agent metadata, validation, and packaging. Use when building or refactoring skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `scripts/generate_openai_yaml.py` and `scripts/init_skill.py`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring and Refactoring. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: My comprehensive, tested + audited, library of skills to use for ChatGPT. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Refactoring skills
  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

Example prompts

  • “/skill-creator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the exact user requests that should trigger the skill.
  2. Keep SKILL.md short and put deep detail in references/.
  3. Add only the scripts, assets, or references that make execution materially more reliable.
  4. Generate agents/openai.yaml and validate before packaging.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 103b430. 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 5 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 444 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 145 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~444

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 Creator

Design or refactor skills so they are small, triggerable, and mechanically valid.

Workflow

  1. Define the exact user requests that should trigger the skill.
  2. Keep SKILL.md short and put deep detail in references/.
  3. Add only the scripts, assets, or references that make execution materially more reliable.
  4. Generate agents/openai.yaml and validate before packaging.

Scripts

  • scripts/init_skill.py initializes a new skill with optional resource folders and agents/openai.yaml.
  • scripts/generate_openai_yaml.py writes agents/openai.yaml from explicit interface values.
  • scripts/quick_validate.py enforces strict frontmatter, directory naming, agent metadata, and script dependency rules.
  • scripts/package_skill.py validates first, then zips the skill for distribution.

Rules

  • Keep frontmatter to name and description only.
  • Make description do the trigger work: what the skill does and when to use it.
  • Match the folder name exactly to name.
  • Prefer one focused workflow over a kitchen-sink skill.
  • Remove placeholder files and generic boilerplate before publishing.

Typical Commands

bash
python3 skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py my-skill --path .
python3 skill-creator/scripts/generate_openai_yaml.py my-skill \
  --interface display_name="My Skill" \
  --interface short_description="One-line summary" \
  --interface default_prompt="Help me use this skill."
python3 skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py my-skill
python3 skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py my-skill ./dist
