Skillpack Creator Agent Skill

Create a reusable SkillPack from a successful completed task. Use when the user wants to convert a one-off research, coding, analysis, or content workflow into a distributable local SkillPack with `skillpack.json`, local skills under `skills/`, starter prompts, start scripts, and an optional zip package.

Skillpack Creator

Overview

Turn a successful task into a reusable SkillPack. Extract the stable workflow, decide what belongs in a local skill versus pack-level prompts, generate the pack structure, and package it only after the workflow is explicit and repeatable.

Workflow

1. Normalize the source task

Reduce the finished task into a clean execution spec:

  • Capture the user goal, concrete deliverable, and the final successful workflow (not the full exploratory transcript).
  • List required skills, tools, files, secrets, and environment assumptions.
  • Separate deterministic steps from heuristic steps; remove dead ends and debugging noise.
  • If the task is still too broad, narrow the scope instead of writing a vague mega-skill. If key success conditions depend on hidden human judgment, mark the pack as a best-effort assistant workflow.

Ask for missing stable facts or infer only the low-risk pieces.

2. Decide what the pack should contain

  • Local skill (skills/): reusable procedural knowledge. Keep scripts minimal unless reproducibility depends on exact file generation or repetitive shell steps.
  • Scripts (scripts/): repeated shell or file-generation logic where reliability matters.
  • References (references/): detailed schemas, API notes, or conventions that should not bloat SKILL.md.
  • Prompts (skillpack.json): 1–3 pack-level starter inputs for the UI — not a DAG or state machine. See references/skillpack-format.md for exact pack semantics.

3. Create the pack specification

Before writing files, define the pack spec. Prefer one local orchestrator skill plus a small number of external skills. Example minimal manifest:

{
  "name": "company-research",
  "description": "Research a company and produce a summary report",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "prompts": ["Research {company} and create a report with financials and competitors"],
  "skills": [
    { "name": "research-orchestrator", "source": "./skills/research-orchestrator", "description": "Orchestrate company research across multiple sources" }
  ]
}

4. Create the local orchestrator skill

Create skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md with frontmatter and imperative workflow instructions:

---
name: research-orchestrator
description: "Orchestrate multi-source company research. Use when the user wants a structured company report covering financials, competitors, and market position."
---
  • Write the stable workflow as imperative steps in the body.
  • Add scripts/ only for fragile or repeated operations; add references/ only for detailed information.

5. Materialize the pack

Use scripts/scaffold_skillpack.py when you have the pack spec:

# Basic
python3 skills/skillpack-creator/scripts/scaffold_skillpack.py \
  --manifest /tmp/skillpack.json \
  --output /absolute/path/to/output-pack

# With zip
python3 skills/skillpack-creator/scripts/scaffold_skillpack.py \
  --manifest /tmp/skillpack.json \
  --output /absolute/path/to/output-pack \
  --zip

The script validates the manifest, writes skillpack.json, creates skills/, copies start.sh/start.bat from templates/, and optionally runs npx -y @cremini/skillpack zip.

6. Validate the result

Before handing the pack back, confirm:

  • The manifest matches the intended pack scope
  • Every declared skill has a valid name, source, and description
  • Local skills are present under the target pack's skills/
  • Starter prompts are concrete enough to reproduce the workflow
  • Zip only after the pack runs as a directory

Output Standard

Produce:

  • A short summary of the stabilized workflow.
  • The target pack structure and skill inventory.
  • The created or updated local skill files.
  • The generated skillpack.json.
  • Whether the pack was zipped and where the zip lives.

Clinical Trial Protocol Skill
by anthropics
vendor ×2

Generate clinical trial protocols for medical devices or drugs. This skill should be used when users say "Create a clinical trial protocol", "Generate protocol for [device/drug]", "Help me design a clinical study", "Research similar trials for [intervention]", or when developing FDA submission documentation for investigational products.

Autoresearch
by OpenRaiser
×1

Orchestrates end-to-end autonomous AI research projects using a two-loop architecture. The inner loop runs rapid experiment iterations with clear optimization targets. The outer loop synthesizes results, identifies patterns, and steers research direction. Routes to domain-specific skills for execution, supports continuous agent operation via Claude Code /loop and OpenClaw heartbeat, and produces research presentations and papers. Use when starting a research project, running autonomous experiments, or managing a multi-hypothesis research effort.

Generate and prioritize US equity long-side edge research tickets from EOD observations, then export pipeline-ready candidate specs for trade-strategy-pipeline Phase I. Use when users ask to turn hypotheses/anomalies into reproducible research tickets, convert validated ideas into `strategy.yaml` + `metadata.json`, or preflight-check interface compatibility (`edge-finder-candidate/v1`) before running pipeline backtests.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take creminiai/skillpack-creator from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
