Creates and improves Bun-based tools for skills — decides when a tool earns its place, scaffolds zero-dependency scripts with dual output, validates tool quality, and wires tools into SKILL.md decision trees. Use when adding a tool to a skill, improving an existing tool, deciding whether something should be a tool or inline instructions, reviewing tool quality, or when the user says "add a tool to this skill", "write a validator for this skill", "make this repeatable", or "check this tool".

Tool Creation
Decision tree
What are you doing?
Deciding whether to create a tool -> read references/when-to-create-tools.md, apply the earning criteria
Creating a new tool for a skill -> follow "Creating a tool" below
Improving an existing tool -> what's wrong?
Output is hard to parse programmatically -> add --json output mode per references/tool-conventions.md
Tool is a thin wrapper around a single command -> it probably shouldn't be a tool. Inline the command in SKILL.md and delete the tool file
Tool lacks help text or error handling -> fix per references/tool-conventions.md
Tool has external dependencies -> rewrite using only bun built-ins and node stdlib
Wiring a tool into a skill -> follow "Wiring into SKILL.md" below
Reviewing tool quality -> check against references/tool-conventions.md "Quality checklist"
Creating a tool
1. Validate the need
Before writing any code, confirm the tool passes at least one bar from references/when-to-create-tools.md. If it doesn't, put the command inline in SKILL.md instead.
2. Write the tool
Create scripts/<tool-name>.ts following the conventions in references/tool-conventions.md. Agent Skills, Codex, and Claude Code all treat scripts/ as the portable executable-code directory. If you are improving an existing repo skill that already has tools/, keep that path stable unless the task is explicitly to migrate it.
Key principles:
Zero external dependencies. Bun built-ins and node stdlib only.
Dual output: human-readable by default, --json for programmatic consumption.
Fail loudly: errors to stderr, non-zero exit codes, never silently swallow failures.
Self-documenting: --help describes what the tool does, its arguments, and its options.
3. Validate
After writing:
Run the tool with --help to verify the help text is clear
Run against a real target to verify it produces correct output
Run with --json to verify structured output is valid JSON
Run with missing/bad arguments to verify it fails cleanly
Wiring into SKILL.md
Add the tool to the appropriate decision tree branch — point to it from the action where it's useful
Reference it in the key references table at the bottom of SKILL.md
Don't duplicate the tool's logic in SKILL.md — just say when to run it and what to do with the output
