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

    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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned openai/skills at 49f948faa9.

    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 openai-skill-creator skill allows AI agents to generate new skills. It facilitates creating custom skills with specific functionalities, enabling users to extend the capabilities of their AI agents beyond pre-built options. This includes defining prompts, actions, and associated logic for these newly created skills.

When to use it

  • Extending Agent Capabilities: When you need your agent to perform tasks outside its existing skillset.
  • Custom Tooling: To create specialized tools or workflows tailored to a particular domain or application.
  • Rapid Prototyping: For quickly experimenting with new functionalities and testing their feasibility within an AI agent's context.
  • Skill Specialization: When you want to focus an agent’s expertise on a narrow set of tasks by creating dedicated skills.

Key capabilities

  • Generates new skill definitions.
  • Allows specification of prompts for the skill.
  • Defines actions associated with the skill.
  • Creates logic for skill execution.

Example prompts

  • "Create a skill to summarize news articles."
  • "Generate a skill that can translate English to French."
  • “Build a new skill to extract key dates from legal documents.”

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of the generated skills depends heavily on the clarity and specificity of the prompts provided. Ensure your instructions are detailed to guide the skill creation process accurately.
