skill-creator
Create new skills (SKILL.md files), modify and improve existing skills, and design skill descriptions for accurate triggering. Use when the user wants to create a new skill from scratch, edit an existing skill, optimize a skill's description, or convert a workflow they just demonstrated into a reusable skill.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Skill Creator A skill for creating new skills and iteratively improving them. At a high level, the process of creating a skill goes like this: - Decide what the skill should do and roughly how it should do it - Write a draft of the skill (`SKILL.md`) - Try the skill on a few realistic test prompts - Evaluate the results, both qualitatively (does the output look right?) and, where possible, with simple verifiable assertions - Refine the skill based on what you observed - Repeat until satisfied - Optimize the description for accurate triggering Your job when using this skill is to figure out where the user is in this process and help them progress through the stages. If they say "I want to make a skill for X", help narrow down what they mean, write a draft, try a few realistic prompts, and iterate. If they already have a draft, jump straight to testing and iterating. If the user just says "vibe with me, no formal evals", do that. ## Communicating with the user Skill-creator is liable to be used by people across a wide range of familiarity with coding jargon. Pay attention to context cues: - "evaluation" / "benchmark" — borderline OK - "JSON" / "assertion" — explain unless the user

What does the skill-creator skill do?
Create new skills (SKILL.md files), modify and improve existing skills, and design skill descriptions for accurate triggering. Use when the user wants to create a new skill from scratch, edit an existing skill, optimize a skill's description, or convert a workflow they just demonstrated into a reusable skill.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add waybarrios/opencode-power-pack --skill skill-creator --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From waybarrios/opencode-power-pack, a repository with 443 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
