Skill Creator
Author, package, and iteratively improve custom SKILL.md files so your agent has repeatable procedural knowledge instead of one-off prompts.
Overview
skill-creator is an agent skill most often used in Build (also Ship, Operate) that helps solo builders author, structure, and refine reusable SKILL.md agent capabilities.

npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills --skill skill-creatorWhat is this skill?
- Meta workflow for drafting SKILL.md frontmatter, description, and When-to-Use triggers
- Guides packaging agent skills with licenses and metadata for catalog distribution
- Supports iterative refinement after real task runs rather than one-shot prompt dumps
- Fits skills.sh-style reusable capabilities for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
- Apache-2.0 licensed template lineage suitable for fork-and-customize skill repos
Adoption & trust: 712 installs on skills.sh; 40.1k GitHub stars; 3/3 security scanners passed (skills.sh audits).
What problem does it solve?
You keep re-explaining the same multi-step agent ritual in chat because you never packaged it as a discoverable skill with triggers and deliverables.
Who is it for?
Indie builders maintaining a personal or team skill library who want consistent auto-invocation across Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex.
Skip if: One-off tasks with no repeatability, or buyers who only need a finished integration skill without authoring their own SKILL.md.
When should I use this skill?
Starting a new custom skill, refactoring an existing SKILL.md for reliable triggers, or preparing a skill repo for catalog install.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You produce a versioned SKILL.md with frontmatter, invoke rules, and repeatable steps—ready to install in your agent tree and improve after real runs.
- SKILL.md with name, description, license, metadata, and When-to-Use section
- Versioned skill folder ready for agent install or skills.sh-style distribution
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Build agent-tooling because new skills are created alongside the repo and agent config where capabilities are defined. Agent-tooling is where solo builders add skills to `.cursor`, Claude Code, or Codex trees and tune invoke triggers and deliverables.
Where it fits
Draft a new integration skill with API steps and Python examples before committing it beside your app repo.
Turn an internal runbook into SKILL.md sections so onboarding developers get the same agent behavior.
Add checklist and severity language to a code-review skill before publishing to teammates.
Update invokeWhen and deliverables after users report the agent skipped your debugging ritual.
How it compares
Use this meta authoring skill instead of dumping long system prompts that agents cannot reuse or catalog.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is skill-creator for?
Solo and small-team builders who package repeatable agent workflows as SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar hosts.
When should I use skill-creator?
In Build when adding a new capability to your agent repo; in Ship when tightening review or test skills before share; in Operate when revising triggers after production feedback.
Is skill-creator safe to install?
Meta skills are usually markdown-only, but forked repos may add scripts—review the Security Audits panel on this page and inspect any bundled tools before enabling shell or network.
