Improves skill-creator generated skills by updating SKILL.md Gotchas and verified examples with reusable learnings. Use after using a generated skill if the interaction revealed custom fields, service quirks, faster workflows, corrected commands, or safer usage patterns.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by sandiiarov on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Skill Creator Improvement AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/sandiiarov/skill-creator/tree/main/skills/skill-creator-improvement
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

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

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Skill Creator Improvement in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Skill Creator Improvement on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Skill Creator Improvement is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

skill-creator improvement

Use this skill proactively after using a skill generated by @asnd/skill-creator when you discover reusable knowledge that would make future use faster or safer.

Safety boundary

Only edit skills tracked in ~/.skill-creator/lock.json or ${SKILL_CREATOR_HOME}/lock.json when that environment variable is set.

Before editing:

Identify the generated skill directory you used.
Read the lock file.
Confirm the target skill path or agent:scope:name entry is present.
If the skill is not tracked, do not modify it. Tell the user it is outside skill-creator management.

What to improve

Add concise, verified learnings directly to the target skill's ## Gotchas section when real usage reveals:

stable custom fields, IDs, project keys, registry names, or instance-specific mappings
service quirks that caused failed or repeated discovery
faster command chains that worked
corrected command examples or safer flags
output filters, pagination, or bounded-query patterns that reduce noise

Editing rules

Keep SKILL.md concise and hot-path useful.
Prefer short bullets in ## Gotchas.
Add only reusable knowledge verified by actual use.
Do not add secrets, tokens, raw API responses, huge outputs, or one-off task details.
Do not rewrite the whole skill unless necessary.
Ask before changing destructive workflows, auth behavior, source URLs, install scope, or anything that could affect production data.

Workflow

Read the target SKILL.md.
Locate ## Gotchas; create it if missing.
Add or update the smallest useful bullet(s).
Update verified examples or usage rules only when a command example changed and was smoke-tested.
Briefly report what changed and why.

Gotchas

The lock file is the source of truth for whether this skill may edit another skill.
Important learnings belong in SKILL.md, not only in references, because agents rarely read references unless prompted.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Skill Creator Improvement AI skill do?

Why use Skill Creator Improvement on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Skill Creator Improvement is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Skill Creator Improvement in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/sandiiarov/skill-creator/tree/main/skills/skill-creator-improvement. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Skill Creator Improvement?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Skill Creator Improvement?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Skill Creator Improvement with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Skill Creator Improvement AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by sandiiarov under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
