Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request

Review the Skillstore skill "skill-creator" from https://skillstore.io/skills/skill-creator.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/skill-creator/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Agent-readable resources

Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.

Security Audit

Medium Risk

v9 • 8/17/2026 Open versioned report

All 70 static findings are false positives caused by SVG decimals, documentation examples, error text, or Markdown formatting. One medium issue remains because the metadata generator follows symbolic links when overwriting agents/openai.yaml.

scripts/generate_openai_yaml.py:182-185

Symlink-Following Metadata Overwrite

The generator writes agents/openai.yaml through existing symbolic links. A crafted skill directory could redirect this overwrite to another writable file.

Path.write_text follows symbolic links, and the script accepts an existing user-supplied skill directory.

What You Can Build

Create a First Skill

Turn a repeated workflow into a discoverable skill with focused instructions and only necessary resources.

Standardize Team Skills

Apply consistent naming, metadata, folder structure, and validation across a shared skill collection.

Improve an Existing Skill

Refine triggers, reduce unnecessary context, preserve policies, and add targeted resources for demonstrated needs.

Try These Prompts

Create a Basic Skill

Use $skill-creator to create a skill for [task]. Place it in [directory] and keep the instructions concise.

Add Reusable Resources

Use $skill-creator to build a skill for [workflow]. Include [scripts, references, or assets] only where they improve repeated work.

Update an Existing Skill

Use $skill-creator to improve the skill at [path]. Preserve user choices, invocation policy, and unrelated metadata while addressing [problem].

Design and Forward Test

Use $skill-creator to redesign [skill path] for [complex workflow]. Validate its files and run an isolated forward test with [realistic request].

Best Practices

Keep activation descriptions concise and specific enough to avoid unrelated requests.
Add scripts, references, or assets only when they improve a concrete repeated workflow.
Validate structure, test changed scripts, and use isolated forward tests when complexity warrants them.

Avoid

Do not duplicate detailed reference content inside SKILL.md.
Do not add placeholder directories or auxiliary documentation without a clear workflow need.
Do not overwrite existing invocation policies, dependencies, or user choices during focused updates.
