Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler --skill skill-creator- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads skill-creator automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
When to Create a Skill
Create a skill when:
- A pattern is used repeatedly and AI needs guidance
- Project-specific conventions differ from generic best practices
- Complex workflows need step-by-step instructions
- Decision trees help AI choose the right approach
Don't create a skill when:
- Documentation already exists (create a reference instead)
- Pattern is trivial or self-explanatory
- It's a one-off task

Naming Conventions
| Type | Pattern | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Generic skill | {technology} | pytest, playwright, typescript |
| Prowler-specific | prowler-{component} | prowler-api, prowler-ui, prowler-sdk-check |
| Testing skill | prowler-test-{component} | prowler-test-sdk, prowler-test-api |
| Workflow skill | {action}-{target} | skill-creator, jira-task |
Decision: assets/ vs references/
Need code templates? → assets/
Need JSON schemas? → assets/
Need example configs? → assets/
Link to existing docs? → references/
Link to external guides? → references/ (with local path)
Key Rule: references/ should point to LOCAL files (docs/developer-guide/*.mdx), not web URLs.
Decision: Prowler-Specific vs Generic
Patterns apply to ANY project? → Generic skill (e.g., pytest, typescript)
Patterns are Prowler-specific? → prowler-{name} skill
Generic skill needs Prowler info? → Add references/ pointing to Prowler docs
Frontmatter Fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | Yes | Skill identifier (lowercase, hyphens) |
description | Yes | What + Trigger in one block |
license | Yes | Always Apache-2.0 for Prowler |
metadata.author | Yes | prowler-cloud |
metadata.version | Yes | Semantic version as string |
Content Guidelines
DO
- Start with the most critical patterns
- Use tables for decision trees
- Keep code examples minimal and focused
- Include Commands section with copy-paste commands
DON'T
- Add Keywords section (agent searches frontmatter, not body)
- Duplicate content from existing docs (reference instead)
- Include lengthy explanations (link to docs)
- Add troubleshooting sections (keep focused)
- Use web URLs in references (use local paths)
Registering the Skill
After creating the skill, add it to AGENTS.md:
| `{skill-name}` | {Description} | [SKILL.md](skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md) |
Checklist Before Creating
- Skill doesn't already exist (check
skills/) - Pattern is reusable (not one-off)
- Name follows conventions
- Frontmatter is complete (description includes trigger keywords)
- Critical patterns are clear
- Code examples are minimal
- Commands section exists
- Added to AGENTS.md

Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
