Triggers on "create a skill", "make a new skill", "skill development", "build a skill", or "extend capabilities"..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill Creator

Create skills that transform Claude from general-purpose into a specialized agent with procedural knowledge.

## Core Principles

### 1. Concise is Key
The context window is shared. Claude is already very smart - only add what Claude doesn't already know. Challenge each piece: "Does this justify its token cost?"

### 2. Degrees of Freedom
Match specificity to task fragility:

| Freedom Level | When to Use | Format |
|---------------|-------------|--------|
| **High** | Multiple valid approaches, context-dependent | Text instructions |
| **Medium** | Preferred pattern exists, some variation OK | Pseudocode, parameterized scripts |
| **Low** | Fragile operations, consistency critical | Specific scripts, few parameters |

### 3. Progressive Disclosure
Three-level loading system:
1. **Metadata** (~100 words) - Always in context
2. **SKILL.md body** (<5k words) - When skill triggers
3. **Bundled resources** - As needed (unlimited)

## Skill Anatomy
