Install target

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 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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.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

    github.comsource host

  • 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 microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

    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 microck-create-skill-file skill allows you to generate the initial file structure and boilerplate code for creating a new AI agent skill. It automates the creation of essential files like skill.json, main.py, and supporting directories, significantly reducing setup time for developers building custom skills. This skill streamlines the development process by providing a solid foundation upon which to build more complex functionalities.

When to use it

  • Starting a new AI agent skill: Use this when you're beginning development on a completely new skill from scratch.
  • Standardizing skill structure: Ensure all your skills adhere to a consistent file organization and naming convention.
  • Rapid prototyping: Quickly generate the basic framework for experimenting with different skill ideas.
  • Teaching or onboarding: Provide new developers with a pre-configured template to accelerate their learning curve.

Key capabilities

  • Generates skill.json file with basic metadata.
  • Creates a main.py file containing placeholder code.
  • Sets up necessary directories for skill assets and dependencies.
  • Provides a standardized project structure.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new skill file named 'my_awesome_skill'."
  • "Generate the initial files for an AI agent skill called 'data-transformer'."
  • "Start a new skill with the name 'image-resizer' and basic setup."

Tips & gotchas

The generated code is a starting point; you’ll need to customize it to implement your specific skill logic. Ensure you have a suitable development environment configured for Python before using this skill, as main.py will contain Python code that needs execution.
