What it does
Skill Creator is an agent skill from mgechev/skills-best-practices. Authors and structures professional-grade agent skills following the agentskills.io spec. Use when creating new skill directories, drafting procedural instructions, or optimizing metadata for discoverability. Don't use for general documentation, non-agentic library code, or README files.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/SKILL.template.md`, `references/checklist.md` and `scripts/validate-metadata.py`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring and Technical documentation. It works with Angular. The repository describes itself as: Write professional-grade skills for agents, validate them using LLMs, and maintain a lean context window.
When your agent uses it
- Creating new skill directories
- Drafting procedural instructions
- Optimizing metadata for discoverability
- General documentation
Example prompts
- “Use the skill-creator skill to author and structures professional-grade agent skills following the agentskills.io spec”
- “/skill-creator”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Initialize and Validate Metadata
- Structure the Directory
- Draft Core Logic (SKILL.md)
- Identify and Bundle Scripts
- Skill Composition (Optional)
- Final Logic Validation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a0bfa56. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 536 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 536 words (~1,079 tokens).
“Follow these steps to generate a skill that adheres to the agentskills.io specification and progressive disclosure principles.”
