Reviewer notes

Personally Tested review. These are observations, not a security certification.

Very powerful for power users. Tier 2 — most clients won't need this themselves, but it's valuable for consultants building client-specific workflows.

Anthropic official. Creates files but doesn't execute arbitrary code.

2026-04-02: LIMITATION: Skills under 2,000 tokens perform best per Anthropic's guide — skill-creator doesn't enforce this limit, so generated skills can creep past the threshold and degrade performance.
