Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Create or update a complete repository skill from a user's idea, including the workflow instructions, references, scripts or assets, agent metadata, skill-card artwork, cinematic banner artwork, README links, discovery metadata, and validation. Use when the user asks to create a new skill, add a skill to this collection, turn a workflow into a reusable skill, or make a skill's documentation and artwork consistent with the repository.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'create-skill' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'create-skill' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named create-skill already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/tamdogood/builder-essential-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1be9984bdafbb68eaff400bdd82773a1d41ee7ec' -- 'skills/create-skill' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/create-skill' ~/.agents/skills/'create-skill' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'create-skill' ~/.claude/skills/'create-skill' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
