What it does
Skill Crafting is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. Skill 制作与审查方法。用于新建或优化 Skill、MCP/CLI/API 配置与环境检查、功能降级、五阶段审查、触发和脚本实测、打包及用户级安装。
Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/dependency-kit/check_environment.py`, `assets/dependency-kit/probe-results.schema.json` and `assets/dependency-kit/skill-dependencies.schema.json`).
It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.
Example prompts
- “/skill-crafting”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 需求已确认：用户确认做什么、什么话触发、输出什么、绝不做什么。
- 写入已确认：展示目标目录、文件清单、影响和回滚方式，用户确认本次写入。
- 安装已确认：交付和验证完成后，展示用户级安装位置、覆盖对象、备份位置和回滚方式，用户确认本次安装。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 692b3eb. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), 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 Crafting loads about 963 tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 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.

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 169 words (~963 tokens).

Can I use Skill Crafting in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add infometa/workbuddyskills --skill skill-crafting -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/skill-crafting, .gemini/skills/skill-crafting, .github/skills/skill-crafting and .opencode/skills/skill-crafting in your project.
What does Skill Crafting need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Skill Crafting needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Skill Crafting access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Skill Crafting safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Skill Crafting use?
No licence was found for Skill Crafting or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Skill Crafting use?
About 963 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 12k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Skill Crafting?
