Claude Code Hero Level 7: The Skill Quest of Doom -- create a skill directory with SKILL.md in .claude/skills/

  • Works in 3 steps: The directory:… → The file: SKILL.md inside that directory → The frontmatter: name and description…
  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring
  • SKILL.md covers Objective, Why This Matters, The Quest and Hints, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Level 7 The Skill Quest is an agent skill from kylesnowschwartz/claude-code-hero. Claude Code Hero Level 7: The Skill Quest of Doom -- create a skill directory with SKILL.md in .claude/skills/

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.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

  • “/level-7-the-skill-quest”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The directory: .claude/skills/hero-knowledge/
  2. The file: SKILL.md inside that directory
  3. The frontmatter: name and description fields that tell Claude when to activate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4abcc6d. 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).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.anthropic.com

    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

Level 7 The Skill Quest loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 874 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 874 words (~1,736 tokens).

“Create a skill at .claude/skills/hero-knowledge/SKILL.md that Claude activates automatically when the context matches.”
