skill-creator from cxcscmu/skilllearnbench is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Create modular skill documents (SKILL.md files) for Claude Code. Use this skill whenever a task requires generating reusable knowledge documents, capturing domain expertise, or building skills that encode workflows, APIs, or specialized techniques. Invoke this whenever you need to write a SKILL.md from scratch, even if the user doesn't explicitly ask for a "skill".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill Creator

A guide for creating well-structured, reusable Claude Code skills.

## Communicating with the user

Pay attention to context cues to gauge familiarity. Keep explanations accessible — don't assume deep technical knowledge unless the user demonstrates it.

---

## Creating a skill

### Capture Intent

Understand what the skill should enable. Extract from the current task context:

1. What should this skill enable Claude to do?
2. When should this skill trigger? (what user phrases / contexts)
3. What's the expected output format or artifact?

### Interview and Research

Proactively think about edge cases, input/output formats, success criteria, and dependencies before writing. If useful libraries or APIs are involved, check what's available in the environment first.

### Write the SKILL.md

Based on the task requirements, fill in these components:

- **name**: Skill identifier (must match the folder name)
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cxcscmu/skilllearnbench/skill-creator@sha256:3a842ee18c01c48b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260424.d50cf5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
