Turns a problem you keep running into into a single installable, tested skill, and prepares a GitHub repository only when you ask to share it.

  • Works in 9 steps: 从问题开始。 先确定 Skill… → 保留用户选择。… → 理论按需进入。… → …
  • Turning a recurring problem into a reusable skill with defined completion criteria
  • SKILL.md covers 核心任务, 不变量, 判断当前状态 and 输入与提问, plus 5 more sections
  • Runs Python and Shell scripts from its folder; calls npx, git and python3

What it does

The agent reads the conversation, your files and the target folder to decide which stage you are at, instead of running a fixed questionnaire. It forms a problem contract and a behavior contract, picks mechanisms such as theory, industry rules or scripts only where they change a decision, then generates a real skill folder with a light SKILL.md and conditional detail pushed into references and scripts.

Testing is behavioral: it builds samples, runs the candidate, attributes failures and makes the smallest fix with regression checks. Local delivery counts as done. GitHub publishing is optional and needs your explicit request, covering repository preparation and verifying installation with npx skills add. Bundled scripts initialize a skill project, validate it, prepare a GitHub repository and verify the npx install. The instructions themselves are written in Chinese.

When your agent uses it

  • Turning a recurring problem into a reusable skill with defined completion criteria
  • Checking or testing a candidate skill you already drafted
  • Preparing a skill for sharing on GitHub with a verified install command

Example prompts

  • “Help me turn my weekly client-report cleanup into a skill and test it.”
  • “Review this draft skill and design samples that would show where it fails.”
  • “Publish my finished skill to GitHub and check that npx skills add installs it.”

Requirements

  • Python 3 for the bundled scripts
  • A GitHub repository, only when you ask to publish

Workflow steps

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

  1. 从问题开始。 先确定 Skill 反复解决什么问题、在什么情境使用、出现什么证据算完成。
  2. 保留用户选择。 用户已经给出的名称、目标、平台和边界直接沿用;低风险细节可以透明假设。
  3. 理论按需进入。 只有理论能够改变判断步骤、适用边界或验证方式时才研究,不为装饰添加人物和术语。
  4. 直接生成文件。 用户要求制作时,交付真实 Skill 目录;材料足够时不把方案说明冒充成品。
  5. 主入口保持轻。 SKILL.md 保存共同决策、关键流程和停止条件;条件性细节放进 references/,重复且确定的工作放进 scripts/。
  6. 用行为验证。 测试可观察输出、工具动作和边界,不要求模型展示隐藏推理。
  7. 失败驱动修改。 修改必须能够解释一类稳定失败,并检查留出样本和关键回归。
  8. 外部动作单独授权。 创建远端仓库、push、tag、Release 和公开测试材料,都需要用户明确要求。
  9. 用户参与需求分析。 默认用户具备基础专业能力。可以使用问题契约、行为契约、边界样本等概念,但要结合当前任务解释它们会改变哪个设计决定。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8d3ed39. 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 and Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • git
    • python3
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, git and gh, 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

DBS Skill Maker loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.2k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 246 words (~1,182 tokens).

“把用户反复遇到的一个问题,制作成经过验证、可以本地安装的单个 Skill。用户明确希望分享时,再提供 GitHub 发布和 npx skills add 安装能力。”
