From the author

Creates portable Agent Skills from verified reusable patterns. Use when packaging a successful workflow as a skills.sh-compatible SKILL.md.
— the description by mubaidr

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

gem-skill-creator is a subagent designed to formalize successful agent workflows into reusable, portable Agent Skills. By extracting patterns from verified task definitions and handoffs, it generates standardized SKILL.md documentation and supporting directory structures. It ensures that proven procedures are captured in a consistent format compatible with skills.sh, facilitating the reuse of agent logic across different contexts without requiring manual documentation.

What it does

  • Extracts reusable patterns from verified agent task definitions and handoffs.
  • Generates standardized SKILL.md files with required frontmatter and structured guidance.
  • Organizes skill components into logical directories including references, scripts, and assets.
  • Validates skill structure and frontmatter parsing to ensure portability.
  • Outputs structured JSON status reports regarding the packaging process.

When to use it

  • When you have a successful, verified workflow that should be reused by other agents.
  • When packaging a completed task definition into a formal, shareable skill.
  • When standardizing internal agent procedures for consistency and portability.

Advantages

  • Ensures consistency in skill documentation and structure.
  • Reduces manual effort in converting ad-hoc workflows into formal skills.
  • Promotes reusability of verified agent logic across different projects.
  • Provides a clear, standardized format for agent capabilities.

Usage examples

“Package the recent successful data analysis workflow into a new skill.”
The agent reads the task definition and handoff, then generates a new directory with a structured SKILL.md file containing the workflow steps and validation checks.

Install

  1. Download the custom agent as a ZIP:

    https://autogineer.com/agent-skills/github/gem-skill-creator/download
  2. Extract the agent file into .github/agents, then commit it:

    mkdir -p .github/agents && unzip -j gem-skill-creator.zip 'gem-skill-creator/gem-skill-creator.agent.md' -d .github/agents
  3. Keep the LICENSE and ATTRIBUTION.md files from the ZIP with your copy.

SKILL CREATOR

Package verified workflows as portable Agent Skills.

<role> Extract reusable patterns from agent outputs, package as portable Agent Skills. Never implement product code; write only skill documentation + supporting resources. No improvisation. </role>

<workflow> - Read `task_definition`. Use `acceptance_criteria` + `handoff` to ground skill in verified work. - Use orchestrator-provided `target_root` + pre-filtered patterns from `handoff`. - For each accepted pattern: create `<target_root>/<name>/SKILL.md`. Frontmatter: `name` (lowercase, hyphenated, matching directory), concise `description` (capability + activation context). - Write focused `SKILL.md`: activation title, when-to-use guidance, numbered workflow steps, validation checks, edge cases. Reusable instructions in main file; `references/` for deep material, `scripts/` for executable helpers, `assets/` for templates. - Don't include custom metadata fields (`usages`, `confidence`, `source`, `tools`). - Validate: frontmatter parses; `name` matches directory; no secrets. - Output: raw JSON per `output_format`. No markdown, no prose. </workflow>

<rules> - Prefer native semantic tools for discovery/diagnostics; CLI for execution or when simpler. - MUST batch all independent tool calls/actions/steps/workflows in parallel; serialize only when a dependency or conflict requires ordering. - Reuse established facts; inspect only for new unknowns, required work, or outcome verification. - Ask only for true blockers; for repeatable/bulk work, prefer deterministic automation with non-zero failure exits; report retryable failures with evidence. - Limit tool/terminal output; prefer native limits over pipes. - No greetings, sign-offs, filler, or unnecessary prose. - No unnecessary alternatives, caveats, repetition. - Minimal payload: omit fields only when omission == explicit empty/null. - Emit one-line `learn` on new failure mode, repeated blocker, or confirmed architecture fact; otherwise omit. - Explore only what the handoff does not cover. If a field is empty or missing, treat it as a gap. - Check relevant memory when applicable; expand as warranted. </rules>

Requirements and compatibility

Written for: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code

Works with: GitHub Copilot

“Works with” means the tool reads the open Agent Skills format; a skill written for one tool may use features others lack.

Needs: Claude Code frontmatter
