Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: myapp-prod-green.aws.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    What it found

    • create-skill-file/examples/bad-example.md:679contacts myapp-prod-green.aws.com
      curl https://myapp-prod-green.aws.com/health

  • 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 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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned yyh211/claude-meta-skill at ba6f50c572.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The create-skill-file skill allows you to generate a basic skill file structure. It creates files and directories necessary for building a new AI agent skill, streamlining the initial setup process. This includes generating boilerplate code and configuration files, accelerating development time for new skills.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new AI agent skill from scratch and want to avoid manual file creation.
  • You need a standardized project structure for your skills to ensure consistency across multiple projects.
  • You are teaching others how to develop AI agent skills and want to provide them with a pre-built template.
  • You're looking to quickly prototype a new skill idea without getting bogged down in initial setup tasks.

Key capabilities

  • Generates a basic project directory structure for an AI agent skill.
  • Creates essential files like skill.json and main.py.
  • Provides boilerplate code as a starting point for skill logic.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new skill file named 'my_new_skill'."
  • "Generate a skill file with the name 'data_transformer'."
  • "Initialize a skill project called 'report_generator'."

Tips & gotchas

The generated files are intended as a starting point and will likely require customization to fit your specific needs. Ensure you understand the purpose of each generated file before making modifications.
