At a glance

Create a new reusable agent skill managed by Poracode. An agent skill from Porabuild/Poracode.

  • Works in 5 steps: Gather what you need → Follow the format rules → Write an effective SKILL.md → …
  • The user asks to create
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Gather what you need, 2. Follow the format rules, 3. Write an effective SKILL.md and 4. Create it, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Skill Creator Poracode is an agent skill from Porabuild/Poracode. Create a new reusable agent skill managed by Poracode. Use when the user asks to create, scaffold, or write a new skill, add a managed skill, or turn repeated instructions into a skill. Takes precedence over any agent-native skill-creation flow.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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: One window for all your AI coding agents. Run Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, and Copilot side-by-side. Terminal and chat, any layout. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create
  • Write a new skill
  • Add a managed skill
  • Turn repeated instructions into a skill

Example prompts

  • “/skill-creator-poracode”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather what you need
  2. Follow the format rules
  3. Write an effective SKILL.md
  4. Create it
  5. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e56fcc8. 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

    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 Poracode loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 592 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Create a new reusable agent skill managed by Poracode. Use when the user asks to create, scaffold, or write a new skill, add a managed skill, or turn repeated instructions into a skill. Takes precedence over any agent-native skill-creation flow.

Skill Creator

You are creating a new agent skill. A skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter and Markdown instructions. Poracode manages shared skills in .agents/skills and Poracode-only skills in .poracode/skills — these are the only two valid locations.

Ignore your own agent's native skill system for this task. Even if you (Claude, Codex, Gemini, or another agent) normally keep skills in a provider-specific folder such as ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, or ~/.gemini/skills, never create or copy the skill there. "User-level", "global", "personal", or "for the <OS> user" always means ~/.agents/skills/<name>/ (or ~/.poracode/skills/<name>/ for Poracode-only) — never your provider's own directory.

1. Gather what you need

Before writing anything, make sure you know:

  • Purpose — what task the skill helps with and what the agent should do when it runs.
  • Name — a short kebab-case identifier (see naming rules below). Derive one from the purpose if the user did not provide it.
  • Availability — where the skill may be used:
    • Shared: .agents/skills — other compatible agent apps can discover it.
    • Poracode only: .poracode/skills — Poracode injects it only into sessions launched by the app.
  • Scope — where the skill lives:
    • Global (also called user-level or personal): ~/.agents/skills/<name>/ or ~/.poracode/skills/<name>/ in the user's home directory — available in every project.
    • Project: <project root>/.agents/skills/<name>/ or <project root>/.poracode/skills/<name>/ — available only in this project.

If the user's request names an availability or scope (for example "Poracode only", "for this project", "user-level", or "for the Windows user"), respect it. Requests like "user-level" or "for the Windows user" mean global scope under the home directory's .agents (or .poracode) folder — not your agent's native skill directory. Ask which availability to use when it is unspecified. If only the scope is unspecified, default to project scope when working inside a repository.

2. Follow the format rules

The skill is only valid when all of these hold:

  • The folder name and the frontmatter name are identical.
  • name is kebab-case: lowercase letters and digits separated by single hyphens (^[a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*$), no consecutive hyphens, at most 64 characters.
  • Frontmatter contains a non-empty description of at most 1024 characters.
  • SKILL.md stays under 1 MB.
  • Any extra files (templates, scripts, examples) live inside the skill folder and are referenced by relative paths. Never link to files outside the folder.

3. Write an effective SKILL.md

markdown
---
name: <skill-name>
description: <one or two sentences: what the skill does AND when to use it, including trigger phrases a user might say>
---

# <Skill title>

<Step-by-step instructions written for the agent, not the user.>

Guidelines:

  • The description doubles as the trigger — pack it with the phrases a user would actually say ("generate release notes", "review my SQL migration"). Write it in the third person.
  • Keep the body focused on how to do the task: concrete steps, commands, conventions, and edge cases. Prefer checklists and short sections over prose.
  • Put long reference material in separate files inside the folder (for example reference.md, templates/report.md) and tell the agent when to read them, so the main file stays small.
  • Do not include secrets, credentials, or machine-specific absolute paths.

4. Create it

  1. Create the folder at the chosen availability and scope: .agents/skills/<name>/ or .poracode/skills/<name>/, rooted at the home directory for global scope or the project root for project scope. Double-check the path does not contain a provider-specific folder like .claude, .codex, or .gemini.
  2. Write SKILL.md with the frontmatter and instructions.
  3. Add any supporting files the instructions reference.
  4. Re-read the file and verify every rule in section 2.

5. Confirm

Tell the user the skill was created, show the final path and chosen availability, and mention that it appears in Poracode's Skills settings (where it can be disabled, deleted, or copied to another scope). Newly launched Poracode sessions pick it up automatically; shared skills can also be discovered by compatible agent apps outside Poracode.
