create-skill-5e6616 — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited create-skill-5e6616 (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

This skill guides the creation of effective skills. For conceptual background, structure details, and writing best practices, read references/best-practices.md.
Skip this step only when the skill's usage patterns are already clearly understood. It remains valuable even when working with an existing skill.
To create an effective skill, clearly understand concrete examples of how the skill will be used. This understanding can come from either direct user examples or generated examples that are validated with user feedback.
For example, when building an image-editor skill, relevant questions include:
To avoid overwhelming users, avoid asking too many questions in a single message. Start with the most important questions and follow up as needed for better effectiveness.
Conclude this step when there is a clear sense of the functionality the skill should support.
To turn concrete examples into an effective skill, analyze each example by:
Example: When building a pdf-editor skill to handle queries like "Help me rotate this PDF," the analysis shows:
scripts/rotate_pdf.py script would be helpful to store in the skillExample: When designing a frontend-webapp-builder skill for queries like "Build me a todo app" or "Build me a dashboard to track my steps," the analysis shows:
assets/hello-world/ template containing the boilerplate HTML/React project files would be helpful to store in the skillExample: When building a big-query skill to handle queries like "How many users have logged in today?" the analysis shows:
references/schema.md file documenting the table schemas would be helpful to store in the skillTo establish the skill's contents, analyze each concrete example to create a list of the reusable resources to include: scripts, references, and assets.
Skip this step if the skill being developed already exists and iteration is needed. In this case, continue to the next step.
When creating a new skill from scratch, create the skill directory with:
SKILL.md file with proper YAML frontmatter (name and description) and TODO placeholders for the bodyscripts/, references/, and/or assets/After initialization, customize or remove the generated files as needed.
When editing the (newly-generated or existing) skill, remember that the skill is being created for another instance of Claude to use. Focus on including information that would be beneficial and non-obvious to Claude. Consider what procedural knowledge, domain-specific details, or reusable assets would help another Claude instance execute these tasks more effectively.
To begin implementation, start with the reusable resources identified above: scripts/, references/, and assets/ files. Note that this step may require user input. For example, when implementing a brand-guidelines skill, the user may need to provide brand assets or templates to store in assets/, or documentation to store in references/.
Read references/best-practices.md for writing style, structure, and content guidelines before writing SKILL.md.
At the start of Step 5, use TaskCreate to create a task for each remaining step:
After writing all files, spawn a subagent (model: "opus", do not set run_in_background) to review the skill. The subagent should read references/skill-reviewer.md for review guidelines, read all skill files, and produce a review report following the format in the guidelines.
model: "opus" and does not set run_in_background. State the total count explicitly when emitting the calls./evaluate-findings SkillRun the /evaluate-findings skill on the review findings.
/apply-findings SkillRun the /apply-findings skill on the evaluated findings.
Then use the TaskList tool and proceed to any remaining task.
