What it does
Skill Creator is an agent skill from katipally/openlive. Use when the user wants to teach you a workflow, save how they like something done, or make a new skill.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 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 and Text to speech and voice. The repository describes itself as: Opensource, on-device voice + vision layer for AI agents. Bring any model or coding agent; the whole speech loop (VAD, STT, TTS, barge-in) runs locally. An open alternative to… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to teach you a workflow
- Save how they like something done
- Make a new skill
Example prompts
- “/skill-creator”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9121eb. 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.
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 657 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 430 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Making a skill from what the user describes
A skill is a short set of instructions any brain in OpenLive loads when a task
matches its description. You turn the user's workflow into one, show it, and
save it with save_skill once they agree.
1. Ask what it is for
Ask only what you need, one or two questions at a time:
- What task is this for, and when should it kick in?
- What are the steps, in order? What does "done" look like?
- Any rules: tone, format, tools to use or avoid, things never to do?
- An example of a good result, if they have one.
If they already described it fully, skip straight to the draft.
2. Draft it
Name. Lowercase letters, digits and single hyphens, at most 64
characters, no hyphen at the start or end. Short and plain: weekly-report,
pr-review, meeting-notes.
Do not reuse the name of a built-in skill (computer-use, research,
skill-creator, connector-setup). Only if the user says they want their own
version to replace a built-in one, save it under that name with
replace_built_in: true.
Description. One line, at most 1024 characters, starting with "Use when" and naming the situations that should trigger it. This line is all a model sees before loading the skill, so make it specific:
- Weak: "Helps with reports."
- Strong: "Use when the user asks for their weekly status report or a summary of what they shipped this week."
Body. Markdown instructions, written to the model that will follow them:
- Start with one line on the goal.
- Numbered steps for the workflow, each one action.
- The user's rules as short bullets.
- A small example of the output if format matters.
- Keep it under about 500 lines. Leave out anything a capable model already knows; keep what is specific to this user.
Show full SKILL.md (129 more words)Show less
3. Show it
Read or show the draft to the user: the name, the description and the body. In a spoken call, summarize the body in a few sentences and offer to read it in full. Ask: "Shall I save it?" Change it until they are happy.
4. Save it
Call save_skill with name, description and body. The user is asked to
approve the save. Then tell them:
- It is in their skills folder and every brain can use it from the next call or Flow session.
- They can edit, switch off or remove it in Settings, Capabilities, Skills.
If the save fails because the name is taken, suggest a new name, or offer to let them edit their existing skill in Settings instead. Never try to overwrite it.
