Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to generate custom, functional AI skills tailored to specific tasks. It leverages Anthropic models and developer best practices to create skills that trigger correctly, execute reliably, and remain concise. The creation process involves defining use cases, designing frontmatter for triggering, organizing reusable resources, writing actionable instructions with error handling, and rigorous testing.
When to use it
This skill is useful in the following scenarios:
- When you need to create a specialized AI skill for a specific task or workflow.
- To build skills that respond accurately to user requests while avoiding irrelevant triggers.
- For situations requiring repeatable validation logic and deterministic scripts within an agent's skillset.
- When developing skills that integrate with other tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Key capabilities
- Frontmatter Design: Defines skill trigger selection using
name(kebab-case) anddescriptionfields, including what the skill does, when to use it, and key capabilities. - Resource Organization: Utilizes
scripts/for deterministic checks and transforms,references/for detailed documentation, andassets/for templates and artifacts. - Instruction Writing: Creates imperative, testable steps with validation checkpoints and error handling guidance.
- Testing Protocol: Includes triggering tests (ensuring correct activation), functional tests (validating output accuracy and tool usage), and performance comparisons.
Example prompts
Here are some example prompts that would trigger a skill created using this method:
- "Extract clauses from this contract."
- "Summarize the key risks in this legal document."
- "Redline this PDF contract for review."
Tips & gotchas
- Frontmatter is crucial: The
nameanddescriptionfields in the frontmatter are vital for accurate triggering. Be specific about what the skill does and when it should be used. - Avoid vague descriptions: Descriptions like "helps with projects" are ineffective; instead, clearly define the skill's purpose and trigger phrases.
- Keep SKILL.md compact: Detailed information should reside in the
references/directory to maintain a concise core skill definition.
