What it does

Skill Creator is an agent skill from vstorm-co/pydantic-deepagents. Create new reusable skills from conversation context

Its SKILL.md is about 330 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: Open-source, self-hosted Claude Code - a terminal AI assistant and the Python framework behind it. Tool-calling, sandboxed execution, multi-agent teams, skills, checkpoints… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

  • “/skill-creator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the task pattern the user wants to capture as a skill
  2. Write clear, specific instructions that an AI agent can follow
  3. Create a directory with this structure
  4. The SKILL.md must have this format

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 650b592. 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 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

Skill Creator loads about 331 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~331

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 Creator

Create a new skill by generating a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter.

Steps

  1. Identify the task pattern the user wants to capture as a skill
  2. Write clear, specific instructions that an AI agent can follow
  3. Create a directory with this structure:
my-skill/
├── SKILL.md          # Instructions + frontmatter
├── template.md       # (optional) Template files
└── example.py        # (optional) Example scripts
  1. The SKILL.md must have this format:
markdown
---
name: skill-name
description: "Brief description of what this skill does"
tags: [category1, category2]
version: "1.0.0"
---

# Skill Name

## Purpose
What this skill accomplishes.

## Instructions
Step-by-step instructions for the agent.

## Examples
Concrete examples of input/output.

Guidelines

  • Name: lowercase with hyphens (e.g., api-client-generator)
  • Description: one sentence, starts with a verb
  • Instructions: specific enough that another agent can execute without context
  • Include edge cases and error handling guidance
  • Add examples showing expected input and output
  • Place resources (templates, schemas) as separate files next to SKILL.md
