At a glance

Create a new custom skill for the workspace. An agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus.

  • Works in 4 steps: Understand the Skill → Generate the SKILL.md → Add Helper Scripts (Optional) → …
  • The user says create a skill
  • SKILL.md covers What You're Building, When to Use This Skill, When NOT to Use and Step 1: Understand the Skill, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Dev Skillify is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Create a new custom skill for the workspace. Guides the user through defining the skill's slug, trigger conditions, workflow steps, outputs, and anti-patterns. Use when the user says 'create a skill', 'new skill', 'add a skill', 'I need a custom skill', or wants to formalize a workflow as a reusable skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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. The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says create a skill
  • I need a custom skill
  • Wants to formalize a workflow as a reusable skill

Example prompts

  • “create a skill”
  • “new skill”
  • “add a skill”
  • “/dev-skillify”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand the Skill
  2. Generate the SKILL.md
  3. Add Helper Scripts (Optional)
  4. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. 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 (its code samples are markdown and bash).

    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

Dev Skillify loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 757 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 757 words (~1,726 tokens).

“Guide the user through creating a new custom skill that formalizes a reusable workflow.”
