What it does
Skill Creator Improvement is an agent skill from sandiiarov/skill-creator. Improves skill-creator generated skills by updating SKILL.md Gotchas and verified examples with reusable learnings. Use after using a generated skill if the interaction revealed custom fields, service quirks, faster workflows, corrected commands, or safer usage patterns.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 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: Turn any MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or GraphQL endpoint into a CLI at runtime. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Skill authoring
Example prompts
- “Use the skill-creator-improvement skill to improve skill-creator generated skills by updating SKILL.md Gotchas and verified examples with reusable…”
- “/skill-creator-improvement”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the generated skill directory you used.
- Read the lock file.
- Confirm the target skill path or agent:scope:name entry is present.
- If the skill is not tracked, do not modify it. Tell the user it is outside skill-creator management.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f59b7d6. 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 Improvement loads about 578 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 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.

- description
- Improves skill-creator generated skills by updating SKILL.md Gotchas and verified examples with reusable learnings. Use after using a generated skill if the interaction revealed custom fields, service quirks, faster workflows, corrected commands, or safer usage patterns.
skill-creator improvement
Use this skill proactively after using a skill generated by @asnd/skill-creator when you discover reusable knowledge that would make future use faster or safer.
Safety boundary
Only edit skills tracked in ~/.skill-creator/lock.json or ${SKILL_CREATOR_HOME}/lock.json when that environment variable is set.
Before editing:
- Identify the generated skill directory you used.
- Read the lock file.
- Confirm the target skill path or
agent:scope:nameentry is present. - If the skill is not tracked, do not modify it. Tell the user it is outside skill-creator management.
What to improve
Add concise, verified learnings directly to the target skill's ## Gotchas section when real usage reveals:
- stable custom fields, IDs, project keys, registry names, or instance-specific mappings
- service quirks that caused failed or repeated discovery
- faster command chains that worked
- corrected command examples or safer flags
- output filters, pagination, or bounded-query patterns that reduce noise
Editing rules
- Keep
SKILL.mdconcise and hot-path useful. - Prefer short bullets in
## Gotchas. - Add only reusable knowledge verified by actual use.
- Do not add secrets, tokens, raw API responses, huge outputs, or one-off task details.
- Do not rewrite the whole skill unless necessary.
- Ask before changing destructive workflows, auth behavior, source URLs, install scope, or anything that could affect production data.
Workflow
- Read the target
SKILL.md. - Locate
## Gotchas; create it if missing. - Add or update the smallest useful bullet(s).
- Update verified examples or usage rules only when a command example changed and was smoke-tested.
- Briefly report what changed and why.
Gotchas
- The lock file is the source of truth for whether this skill may edit another skill.
- Important learnings belong in
SKILL.md, not only in references, because agents rarely read references unless prompted.
