Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/webmaxru/ai-native-dev --skill skill-creator
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads skill-creator automatically when relevant.

  3. 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.

Skill Authoring Procedure

Follow these steps to generate a skill that adheres to the agentskills.io specification and progressive disclosure principles.

Step 1: Initialize and Validate Metadata

  1. Define a unique name: 1-64 characters, lowercase, numbers, and single hyphens only.
  2. Draft a description: Max 1,024 characters, written in the third person, including negative triggers.
  3. Execute Validation Script: Run the validation script to ensure compliance before proceeding: python scripts/validate-metadata.py --name "[name]" --description "[description]"
  4. If the script returns an error, self-correct the metadata based on the stderr output and re-run until successful.

Step 2: Structure the Directory

  1. Create the root directory using the validated name.
  2. Initialize the following subdirectories:
    • scripts/: For tiny CLI tools and deterministic logic.
    • references/: For flat (one-level deep) context like schemas or API docs.
    • assets/: For output templates, JSON schemas, or static files.
  3. Ensure no human-centric files (README.md, INSTALLATION.md) are created.

Step 3: Draft Core Logic (SKILL.md)

  1. Use the template in assets/SKILL.template.md as the starting point.
  2. Write all instructions in the third-person imperative (e.g., "Extract the text," "Run the build").
  3. Enforce Progressive Disclosure:
    • Keep the main logic under 500 lines.
    • If a procedure requires a large schema or complex rule set, move it to references/.
    • Command the agent to read the specific file only when needed: "Read references/api-spec.md to identify the correct endpoint."

Step 4: Identify and Bundle Scripts

  1. Identify "fragile" tasks (regex, complex parsing, or repetitive boilerplate).
  2. Outline a single-purpose script for the scripts/ directory.
  3. Ensure the script uses standard output (stdout/stderr) to communicate success or failure to the agent.

Step 5: Final Logic Validation

  1. Review the SKILL.md for "hallucination gaps" (points where the agent is forced to guess).
  2. Verify all file paths are relative and use forward slashes (/).
  3. Cross-reference the final output against references/checklist.md.

Error Handling

  • Metadata Failure: If scripts/validate-metadata.py fails, identify the specific error (e.g., "STYLE ERROR") and rewrite the field to remove first/second person pronouns.
  • Context Bloat: If the draft exceeds 500 lines, extract the largest procedural block and move it to a file in references/.

FAQ

What does the skill-creator skill do?

How do I install skill-creator?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/webmaxru/ai-native-dev --skill skill-creator in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/skill-creator/ (personal) or .claude/skills/skill-creator/ (project).

Which AI agents can use skill-creator?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is skill-creator safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

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).

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).

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.
