What it does
Skill Creator is an agent skill from WellApp-ai/Well. Template and guide for creating new skills
Its SKILL.md is about 450 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: No more Sundays on Finance. We build the infrastructure that retrieves, processes, and routes your financial and business data to your FinOps stack, so founders can ship, not… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Skill authoring
Example prompts
- “/skill-creator”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- YAML Frontmatter - name and description
- Title - Clear skill name
- When to Use - Trigger conditions
- Instructions - What Claude should do
- Examples - Concrete usage
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c740217. 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 yaml).
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 445 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 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.
