What it does

Create Skill is an agent skill from truffle-ai/dexto. Create or update Dexto skill bundles with SKILL.md, handlers, scripts, mcps, and references.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/mcp-server-pattern.md` and `references/skill-anatomy.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Agent harness and tookit for building AI agents and agentic applications. CLI and SDKs included.

Workflow steps

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

Search for overlap first.
Propose the minimum viable skill shape.
Create or update the skill bundle.
Keep SKILL.md lean.
Add bundled files only when they materially improve the workflow.
Reuse before duplicating.
Be precise about MCP status.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6b5060f. 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

Create Skill loads about 895 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 470 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~895
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.1k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 470 words (~895 tokens).

“Create or update standalone Dexto skill bundles. Treat .agents/skills// as the canonical workspace location unless the user explicitly asks for a global skill.”
