# Skill Creator Guide This skill provides the authoritative standard for creating and iteratively improving Agent Skills. It combines the [Anthropic Skills Standard](https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md) with our local architecture rules. **Core loop**: Draft skill → Write test cases → Run evals (with-skill + baseline) → Review with user → Improve → Repeat. Your job is to figure out where the user is in this process and help them progress. Maybe they want to create a skill from scratch — help narrow intent, write a draft, create tests, run them, iterate. Maybe they already have a draft — go straight to eval/iterate. Be flexible. ## Red Flags (Anti-Rationalization) **STOP and READ THIS if you are thinking:** - "I'll skip the eval step, the skill looks fine" → **WRONG**. Run evals — untested skills fail silently in production. - "I can write the whole skill without talking to the user" → **WRONG**. Capture Intent first — assumptions cause rewrites. - "The description is descriptive enough" → **WRONG**. CSO triggers are mechanical. Follow the schema. - "This skill is too simple for a script" → **WRONG**. If logic > 5 lines, text instructions fail 30% of the time. Use a script. - "I'll skip the viewer and evaluate outputs myself" → **WRONG**. Generate the eval viewer BEFORE evaluating — get results in front of the human ASAP. ### Rationalization Table | Agent Excuse | Reality / Counter-Argument | | :--- | :--- | | "The skill worked on
