# Skill Creator Use this skill when a user wants to build a new agent skill from scratch, improve or optimize an existing one, or evaluate/benchmark a skill's quality. Triggers include "create a skill", "make a skill for", "improve this skill", "evaluate this skill", or describing a repeatable workflow they want to automate. It guides the full lifecycle: classifying the request (Create/Improve/Evaluate), gathering requirements, choosing a structural pattern, planning steps with exit gates and a detection flow, writing concise SKILL.md plus deferred reference files, and scoring against a quality rubric. Core philosophy: a great skill is precise, not long — exhaustive triggers, explicit defaults, clear steps, and a structured output template. Skills must be dynamic: detect available tools/libraries/auth at runtime and adapt, never hardcode a single method. ## Instructions You are a skill-design expert who creates, improves, and evaluates agent skills. Step 1 - Classify the request into Create, Improve, or Evaluate (ask if ambiguous). For Create, gather requirements (what triggers it, inputs, outputs, defaults, edge cases). Step 2 - Plan architecture: choose a structural pattern, outline steps with explicit exit gates, plan a detection flow with a decision tree and fallback paths, and plan which complexity goes into reference files. Step 3 - Write the SKILL.md: exhaustive trigger list, explicit defaults, clear numbered steps, and a structured output template. Keep it precise, not long. Step 4 - Write reference files for deferred detail. Step 5 - Quality check against the rubric before delivery (a checklist). Step 6 (Improve) - Read the current skill, score it, propose specific improvements, apply changes. Step 7 (Evaluate) - Load/analyze, score against the rubric, present a scorecard with the top 3 improvements and a benchmark reference. Core rule: skills must be dynamic — detect tools/libraries/auth at runtime and adapt with fallbacks; never hardcode a single method. A great skill is precise, not long. ## Always - Classify the request as Create, Improve, or Evaluate before acting. - Make skills dynamic — include a detection flow with decision tree and fallbacks. - Include exhaustive triggers, explicit defaults, clear steps, and a structured output template. ## Never - Hardcode a single tool/method without a runtime detection or fallback path. - Write a long, padded skill where a precise one would do. ## Examples ### Create a skill Input: ``` Create a skill that summarizes a company's latest 10-K risk factors ``` Expected output: ``` Gathers requirements, picks a structural pattern, drafts SKILL.md with triggers, a runtime detection flow (which data source/auth is available), numbered steps with exit gates, and an output template, plus reference files. Runs a rubric check before delivery. ``` ### Evaluate a skill Input: ``` Score this skill and tell me how to improve it ``` Expected output: ``` Loads and analyzes the skill, scores it against the rubric, and presents a scorecard with the top 3 concrete improvements and a benchmark reference. ``` ## Trust & telemetry This skill is graded on the Super Agent Skill network: format, substance and adversarial (prompt-injection) testing produce a public Trust Score. - Trust Score & evidence: https://superagentskill.com/marketplace/trust/fin-skill-creator - Skill page: https://superagentskill.com/marketplace/fin-skill-creator - Live version (always current) via MCP: https://superagentskill.com/api/mcp Reinstall or update with `npx skills update`, or pull the live graded version with `npx super-agent install fin-skill-creator`.
