Despite the generic 'create-agent' name, this is a repurposed fragment of OpenGAP's gitagent-helper example: it teaches OpenGAP's own agent.yaml + SOUL.md format, NOT a Claude Code subagent (.claude/agents/*.md) generator, so its broad description would over-fire on genuine Claude Code subagent requests and hand back an incompatible manifest. Install is clean (single self-contained SKILL.md, strict-YAML frontmatter, no missing files) and its documented schema is accurate. A/B: with the skill the agent.yaml matched OpenGAP's documented schema exactly (spec_version 0.1.0, fallback as a list, plain skill/tool name lists, runtime max_turns/timeout); the base arm, unaided, drifted from that schema (spec_version '1.0', scalar fallback, name/path objects, timeout_seconds) — so the skill measurably improves format-conformance, but only for a format the Claude Code audience isn't actually asking for.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 2/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Create Agent does
Creates and configures agent.yaml files, writes SOUL.md personality definitions, and sets up agent directory structures with skills, tools, and knowledge. Use when the user wants to configure an agent, create agent.yaml, write SOUL.md, set up agent directory structure, or customize agent settings.
How to install Create Agent
git clone https://github.com/open-gitagent/opengap
cd opengap
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r examples/gitagent-helper/skills/create-agent ~/.claude/skills/create-agent
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Create Agent skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from open-gitagent/opengap. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Create Agent work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup.

- What is the Create Agent SkillProof Score?
- 6.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 2/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Create Agent?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Create Agent with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
