Installation

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file. Pick your agent and run the commands in a terminal (macOS, Linux or Git Bash on Windows) from your project root.

Copy the prompt into Claude, Codex or another assistant: it will review the skill and install it for you.

Install the “skill-creator” skill from mozgi.io (https://mozgi.io/skills/skill-creator-openclaw/) for me.

1. Download the archive: https://mozgi.io/skills/skill-creator-openclaw/download
   If it fails, take the skill folder from the source: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/tree/main/skills/skill-creator
2. Read SKILL.md and the other files. Check the skill is safe: no hidden commands, no sending data elsewhere, no scripts doing something other than described. If anything looks suspicious, stop and tell me.
3. Put the “skill-creator” folder into your agent's skills folder: .claude/skills/ for Claude Code, .agents/skills/ for Codex, .cursor/skills/ for Cursor, .gemini/skills/ for Gemini CLI. Inside the project if we are in one, otherwise in the home folder (~/.claude/skills/ etc.).
4. Make sure <skills folder>/skill-creator/SKILL.md exists.
5. Briefly tell me what this skill does and offer to try it on my task.

If you cannot do a step yourself, tell me what to click or type.

git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git /tmp/openclaw
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw/skills/skill-creator .claude/skills/skill-creator

Restart Claude Code — the skill appears in the list; call it manually with /skill-creator. For all projects use ~/.claude/skills.

git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git /tmp/openclaw
mkdir -p .agents/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw/skills/skill-creator .agents/skills/skill-creator

Codex looks for skills in .agents/skills from the current folder up to the repo root; call one with /skills or $skill-creator. For all projects use ~/.agents/skills.

git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git /tmp/openclaw
mkdir -p .cursor/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw/skills/skill-creator .cursor/skills/skill-creator

Cursor picks the skill up on start; call it with “/” in Agent chat. Cursor also reads .claude/skills and .agents/skills. For all projects use ~/.cursor/skills.

git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git /tmp/openclaw
mkdir -p .gemini/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw/skills/skill-creator .gemini/skills/skill-creator

Gemini CLI offers to activate the skill when a task matches — you approve it. For all projects use ~/.gemini/skills.

Skill Creator

Workflow

1. Establish the contract.

Read the existing skill and its resources, or collect concrete requests for a new skill.
Separate actual workflow branches from synonyms for the same branch.
Done when: every branch has a concrete trigger, expected outcome, and persistence target.

2. Choose invocation.

Model-discoverable: write a model-facing description; omit disable-model-invocation.
Manual-only: set disable-model-invocation: true; write a human-facing summary.
Direct tool command: add command-dispatch: tool, command-tool, and command-arg-mode only when the command bypasses the model.
Done when: frontmatter matches how the skill will actually be reached.

3. Structure the skill.

Map shared ordered procedure to SKILL.md; end every step with a checkable completion criterion and finish with verification.
Keep routing conditions in description; start the body with execution.
Map branch-only detail to references/, deterministic helpers to scripts/, output resources to assets/, and optional UI metadata to agents/.
Done when: every planned resource has one purpose and a direct pointer from SKILL.md.

4. Draft and persist.

Live workspace skill: use skill_workshop to create or revise a pending proposal; keep live files unchanged until apply.
Repository-owned skill source: use the repository's normal edit and review workflow.
Done when: the proposal or source diff implements every branch from step 1 and contains every resource from step 3.

5. Validate.

Run python {baseDir}/scripts/quick_validate.py <skill-directory> and execute every touched helper's focused test.
Done when: frontmatter passes, resource pointers resolve, and every touched helper passes its focused test.

Frontmatter

Required: name, description.

OpenClaw also supports metadata, homepage, license, allowed-tools, user-invocable, disable-model-invocation, command-dispatch, command-tool, and command-arg-mode. Add optional fields only when they change runtime behavior or discovery.

Frequently asked questions

What does the skill-creator skill do?

Creates, edits, and validates SKILL.md files for AI agents, structuring them and preparing them for use.

How do I install skill-creator?

Open the “Installation” block on this page and pick your agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini CLI — for ready-made commands that copy the skill folder to the right place. Or copy the prompt from the “Via assistant” tab and let the assistant review and install the skill.

Which AI models work with skill-creator?

Skills are plain Markdown instructions (the Agent Skills format), so skill-creator works with any agent that reads SKILL.md: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and more. The model loads the instructions only when a task matches the skill's description.

Is skill-creator free?

The skill is published openly by openclaw under the MIT license. The skill itself costs nothing — you only pay your AI provider for the tokens you use.

Is it safe to install skills?

A skill is a set of instructions your agent will follow, so read SKILL.md and its companion files before installing. Scripts in the skill folder only run if your agent runs them — keep an eye on what it does and do not grant unnecessary permissions.

How is a skill different from an MCP server or a plugin?

An MCP server or plugin gives the model new tools — code that runs and returns a result. A skill gives it knowledge and process: how to approach a task, which steps to follow and what good output looks like. It needs no server or API key.
