What it does
Skill Creator is an agent skill from swarmclawai/swarmclaw. Create, edit, improve, or audit skills for SwarmClaw agents. Use when creating a new skill from scratch or when asked to improve, review, audit, tidy up, or clean up an existing skill or SKILL.md file. Also use when editing or restructuring a skill directory. Triggers on phrases like "create a skill", "author a skill", "tidy up a skill", "improve this skill", "review the skill", "clean up the skill", "audit the skill".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/init_skill.py` and `scripts/quick_validate.py`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open-source self-hosted AI agent runtime and multi-agent framework for autonomous agent swarms. Agent memory, MCP tools, schedules, delegation, and 23+ LLM providers (Claude… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Creating a new skill from scratch
- Asked to improve
- Clean up an existing skill
- Restructuring a skill directory
Example prompts
- “create a skill”
- “author a skill”
- “tidy up a skill”
- “/skill-creator”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 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 ed38ba5. 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 2 files 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 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 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.

About Skills
Skills are modular, self-contained packages that provide specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. They transform a general-purpose agent into a specialized one equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
What Skills Provide
- Specialized workflows — multi-step procedures for specific domains
- Tool integrations — instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
- Domain expertise — company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
- Bundled resources — scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks
Core Principles
Concise is Key
The context window is a shared resource. Only add context the agent doesn't already have. Challenge each piece of information: "Does the agent really need this explanation?" Prefer concise examples over verbose explanations.
Set Appropriate Degrees of Freedom
- High freedom (text instructions): Multiple valid approaches, context-dependent decisions
- Medium freedom (pseudocode/parameterized scripts): Preferred pattern exists, some variation OK
- Low freedom (specific scripts): Fragile operations, consistency critical, exact sequence required
Anatomy of a Skill
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md (required)
│ ├── YAML frontmatter (name + description, required)
│ └── Markdown instructions (required)
└── Bundled Resources (optional)
├── scripts/ — Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)
├── references/ — Documentation loaded into context as needed
└── assets/ — Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts)Frontmatter
name: Skill name (hyphen-case, lowercase)description: Primary triggering mechanism. Include what the skill does AND when to use it. All "when to use" info goes here — not in the body.
Scripts (scripts/)
Executable code for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten. Token efficient and may be executed without loading into context.
References (references/)
Documentation loaded as needed to inform the agent's process. Keep only essential instructions in SKILL.md; move detailed reference material here.
Assets (assets/)
Files not loaded into context but used in output (templates, images, fonts). Separates output resources from documentation.
What NOT to Include
- README.md, CHANGELOG.md, INSTALLATION_GUIDE.md, or other auxiliary docs
- Setup/testing procedures or user-facing documentation
- Information the agent already knows from general training
Skill Creation Process
- Understand the skill with concrete examples
- Plan reusable contents (scripts, references, assets)
- Initialize the skill
- Edit the skill (implement resources, write SKILL.md)
- Validate the skill
- Iterate based on real usage
Skill Naming
- Lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only (hyphen-case)
- Under 64 characters
- Prefer short, verb-led phrases describing the action
- Name the skill folder exactly after the skill name

Step 1: Understanding with Concrete Examples
Ask the user clarifying questions:
- What functionality should the skill support?
- Can you give examples of how it would be used?
- What would a user say that should trigger this skill?
Step 2: Planning Reusable Contents
Analyze each example to identify what scripts, references, and assets would be helpful:
- Repeated code →
scripts/(e.g.,scripts/rotate_pdf.py) - Boilerplate →
assets/(e.g.,assets/hello-world/template) - Domain knowledge →
references/(e.g.,references/schema.md)
Step 3: Initializing the Skill
Use the bundled init script to create the directory structure:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-directory> [--resources scripts,references,assets] [--examples]Examples:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/init_skill.py my-skill --path skills
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/init_skill.py my-skill --path skills --resources scripts,referencesStep 4: Edit the Skill
Write instructions that would help another agent instance execute tasks effectively. Include information that is beneficial and non-obvious.
Writing guidelines: Use imperative/infinitive form. Keep SKILL.md body under 500 lines.
Frontmatter description: Include both what the skill does and specific triggers for when to use it. This is the primary mechanism for skill selection.
Step 5: Validate the Skill
Run the validator to check structure and frontmatter:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/quick_validate.py <path/to/skill-folder>Step 6: Iterate
- Use the skill on real tasks
- Notice struggles or inefficiencies
- Update SKILL.md or bundled resources
- Test again
Progressive Disclosure
Skills use a three-level loading system:
- Metadata (name + description) — always in context (~100 words)
- SKILL.md body — when skill triggers (<5k words)
- Bundled resources — as needed (unlimited, since scripts can be executed without reading)
Keep SKILL.md lean. Move detailed information to reference files and describe clearly when to read them.
