What it does
Creating Process Files is an agent skill from lexler/skill-factory. Creates process files - text as code instructions for reliable AI workflows. Use when creating new process files.
Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `credits.md`).
The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Creating new process files
Example prompts
- “Use the creating-process-files skill to create process files - text as code instructions for reliable AI workflows”
- “/creating-process-files”
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 8017333. 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
Creating Process Files loads about 566 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 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.

Creating Process Files
STARTER_CHARACTER = ⚙️
Description
This skill helps make new process files or fine tune existing ones. A process file describes a structured sequence of steps for AI to follow to create a predictable output. Process files are content neutral to the project.
Steps
This process has these distinct phases:
- Interview Phase - Ask for the pieces of the process file that we are going to build
- Draft Phase - Create the initial version of the process file
- Clarification Phase - Ask any clarifying questions about the process file
- Simplification Phase - Remove unnecessary content
Pieces
- [FILE_NAME]
- [HEADER]
- [STARTER_CHARACTER]
- Steps
- Title
- Details
- Sub-steps (optional)
- [DESCRIPTION]
Interview Protocol
Ask one question at a time. If you are giving options, give a list to choose from.
Phases
Phase 1: Interview
- Read the provided file, and ask for the [FILE_NAME] if not provided.
- Ask for the [HEADER] for the file.
- Ask for a small [DESCRIPTION] of what this process is going to achieve.
- Ask for the [STARTER_CHARACTER] emoji. A STARTER_CHARACTER is a marker (usually an emoji) that appears at the beginning of each response to indicate that the context window is intact and rules are being followed. Suggest 5-8 appropriate emoji based on the process topic.
- We need a list of steps. Ask for each step in the process, one at a time. If anything is unclear about a step, ask clarifying questions.
- Identify any missing steps that would achieve the stated description of the process.
Phase 2: Draft
Create the initial version of the process file, or revise it if it already exists. Ask to review it.
Phase 3: Clarification
Read the draft created in phase 2. Check for inconsistencies, contradictions, or missing information. If any are found, ask clarifying questions one at a time.
Phase 4: Simplification
Review the process file created in phase 2 and simplify. Be as concise as possible.
Examples
For an example of a process file, examine this file itself.
