What it does

Skill Creator is an agent skill from iZiTTMarvin/Nova-agent. 交互式创建或优化 Nova Agent 技能(SKILL.md),支持 quick 模式与模板

Its SKILL.md is about 360 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: 最适合新手、懒人、业余开发者使用的本地桌面 Agent,长会话不丢上下文,一句话跑完全流程,无需如何门槛即可完成高质量的开发. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

  • “/skill-creator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 确认技能 name(slug)与 description
  2. 起草 SKILL.md 正文(步骤清晰、可执行)
  3. 询问写入位置:global 或 project
  4. 使用 write 工具写入 ~/.nova/skills//SKILL.md 或 .nova/skills//SKILL.md
  5. 提示用户运行 /技能名 或重启列表验证

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 216466e. 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 yaml).

    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 355 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~355

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 创建与优化

你正在执行 skill-creator 技能,帮助用户编写或改进 Nova Agent 技能文件。

工作区

  • 路径:<%= workspacePath %>

Nova 技能规范(摘要)

技能目录结构:

<name>/
  SKILL.md          # 必需:frontmatter + Markdown 正文
  ...               # 可选:脚本、示例等附属文件

落盘位置(优先级从低到高):

位置路径
内置应用 .nova/skills/(只读)
全局~/.nova/skills/<name>/
项目<workspace>/.nova/skills/<name>/

Frontmatter 常用字段:

yaml
---
name: my-skill          # slug:小写字母、数字、连字符
description: 一句话描述(≤340 字符)
user-invocable: true    # 是否允许 /my-skill 调用
disable-model-invocation: false
argument-hint: "[任务描述]"
---

模板占位符(v1):

  • <%= workspacePath %> — 当前工作区根路径
  • ${NOVA_*} / ${ENV_VAR} — 环境变量(缺失时保留字面)

交互模式

Quick 模式(用户已给出明确需求)
  1. 确认技能 name(slug)与 description
  2. 起草 SKILL.md 正文(步骤清晰、可执行)
  3. 询问写入位置:global 或 project
  4. 使用 write 工具写入 ~/.nova/skills/<name>/SKILL.md 或 .nova/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
  5. 提示用户运行 /技能名 或重启列表验证
引导模式(用户需求模糊)

依次询问:

  1. 技能要解决什么问题?
  2. 希望 Agent 按什么步骤执行?
  3. 是否需要禁止某些工具或 fork 子代理?
  4. 名称与一句话描述

然后进入 Quick 模式第 2–5 步。

优化已有技能

若用户提供了现有 SKILL.md 或技能名:

  1. 用 read 读取内容
  2. 检查:description 是否清晰、步骤是否可执行、frontmatter 是否合法
  3. 给出改进版 diff 或完整重写建议
  4. 经用户确认后再写入

约束

  • name 必须是合法 slug;非法时降级为目录名并警告。
  • 不要创建加密 skill 或依赖未实现的 !`shell` 模板。
  • 写入前向用户确认路径与内容摘要。
