Create new skills, modify existing skills, and help users turn repeatable workflows into reusable instructions. Use when the user wants to create a skill from scratch, edit or improve an existing skill, capture a workflow as a skill, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy, e.g. "帮我建个技能", "创建一个技能", "把这个流程做成技能", "编辑这个技能", "优化技能的触发描述". Do NOT use to chain or orchestrate several EXISTING skills/recordings into a runnable saved workflow — that is workflow-creator.
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 skill for creating and iteratively improving skills. ## The Skill Lifecycle 1. **Capture intent** — understand what the skill should do and when it should trigger 2. **Write a draft** — compose the SKILL.md with frontmatter + instructions 3. **Test it** — run realistic prompts through the skill and evaluate the results 4. **Iterate** — rewrite based on feedback and test again 5. **Polish** — optimize the description for triggering accuracy Your job is to figure out where the user is in this process and help them progress. ## Communicating with the user Pay attention to context cues. Not every user is a programmer — some may be using octo for the first time. Briefly explain terms if you're in doubt. --- ## Creating a skill ### Capture Intent Start by understanding the user's intent. The current conversation may already contain a workflow they want to capture. Ask: 1. What should this skill enable octo to do? 2. When should this skill trigger? (what user phrases / contexts) 3. What's the expected output format? …

How to install
mdr add open-octo/octo-agent/skill-creator@sha256:561f0857e006fd72The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260802.3c4aeb5, 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.
