What it does
Create Skill is an agent skill from SylphAI-Inc/skills. Guide users through creating AdaL skills by clarifying the skill type (personal, project, or public plugin) and scaffolding the appropriate structure.
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 Development, covering Project scaffolding. It works with GitHub and Git. The repository describes itself as: Community-shareable skills for AdaL — the automation-first agent harness.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Project scaffolding
Example prompts
- “/create-skill”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Clarify Skill Type
- Gather Skill Details
- Create the Skill Structure
- Verify Installation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51a5abd. 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 bash, json and 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
Create Skill loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 432 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 432 words (~1,217 tokens).
