What it does
Global Skill Creator is an agent skill from wcygan/dotfiles. Route reusable Codex skill requests from dotfiles to the authoritative agent-skills repository. Use when a request mentions a global skill, reusable workflow, or legacy global command.
Its SKILL.md is about 370 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 and CI/CD. The repository describes itself as: Configuration for Development Environments.
When your agent uses it
- A request mentions a global skill
- Reusable workflow
- Legacy global command
Example prompts
- “/global-skill-creator”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Classify the workflow. Use .agents/skills// only when it is specific
- For a portable workflow, direct the work to the authoritative
- Follow the selected repository's current skill-authoring and validation
- Validate a dotfiles-local skill with the narrowest relevant repository
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b385ffa. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
make
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
Global Skill Creator loads about 371 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 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 155 words (~371 tokens).
“Keep this repository free of global-skill source packaging and vendoring. Reusable skills belong in the dedicated agent-skills repository; dotfiles-specific operating skills belong in .agents/skills/; the global catalog is consumed here only through $agent-skills-integration.”
