What you get

  • Anthropic's skill for writing skills: it scaffolds a SKILL.md with correct frontmatter, asks the right questions about triggers and scope, adds scripts and references, and reviews the result against the Agent Skills spec.
  • The fastest way to turn a repeated workflow into a skill you can publish.

Install the Skill Creator skill

Pick your agent. The wrapper only tells your agent how to start a session. The skill's instructions arrive with each session, after your access is checked.

  1. Sign in once from your terminal.

    Terminal
    skillgild login
  2. Install this skill for Claude Code.

    Terminal
    skillgild install skill-creator --agent claude-code
  3. Register the SkillGild MCP server with Claude Code.

    Terminal
    claude mcp add --scope user skillgild -- $(command -v skillgild) mcp

How it runs

  1. Your agent starts a session. SkillGild checks your access and allowance, counts one run, and sends the skill's instructions for this task.
  2. Your agent does the work with its own model and tools, in your project. SkillGild makes no AI model call.

Use it from code

Start a session, follow its guide, then end it. Create an API key under Account and pass it as a bearer token.

Terminal
# Prints the session ID, its tools and the instructions for your agent
skillgild session skill-creator
skillgild end <session-id>

Questions

How do I install Skill Creator in Claude Code?

Run skillgild install skill-creator --agent claude-code and connect the SkillGild MCP server (skillgild mcp). When a task matches, your agent starts a session, which uses one of your 25 free runs this month, and follows the skill's instructions. Use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.

Is Skill Creator free?

Yes. It includes 25 free runs every month on SkillGild. Skill Creator is open source (Apache-2.0) by Anthropic; SkillGild packages it from https://github.com/anthropics/skills at a pinned commit and credits the author.

Does Skill Creator run on SkillGild?

It runs in your coding agent with your own model. SkillGild checks your monthly allowance and delivers the skill's instructions for each session; it makes no model call and never sees your project unless your agent sends it.

Which agents does Skill Creator work with?

The project lists Claude Code, Claude.ai, any Agent Skills host. It is a plain Agent Skills folder (SKILL.md plus supporting files), so any client that reads that format can load it.
