Guide for creating effective skills. An agent skill from Sikao-Engine/KimiX.

  • Works in 3 steps: Metadata (name + description) — always… → SKILL.md body — when skill triggers → Bundled resources — as needed

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Skill Creator is an agent skill from Sikao-Engine/KimiX. Guide for creating effective skills. Use when users want to create or update a skill that extends agent's capabilities.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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. It works with Kimi. The repository describes itself as: The next-gen lightweight coding agent cli.

When your agent uses it

  • Users want to create
  • Update a skill that extends agents capabilities

Example prompts

  • “/skill-creator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Metadata (name + description) — always in context
  2. SKILL.md body — when skill triggers
  3. Bundled resources — as needed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7394085. 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 loads about 637 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 260 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~637

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 260 words (~637 tokens).

“Guidance for creating modular skill packages that extend Kimi's capabilities.”
