Using Agent Skills
addyosmani/agent-skills
Meta-skill for choosing which workflow skill fits the task at hand, plus always-on habits: surface assumptions, stop on confusion, push back, keep it simple and stay in scope.
Verify that committed docs (README.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md descriptions) still describe what the code and tests actually do.

What it does
Doc Test Alignment is an agent skill from agentculture/culture. Verify that committed docs (README.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md descriptions) still describe what the code and tests actually do. Use at the end of a plan, before PR creation, or when the user says "check doc-test alignment", "verify docs", or "do the docs still match the code". STUB — scripts/check.sh exits with a not-yet-implemented error today; the contract for what it will do lives in this file.
Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/check.sh`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Culture turns isolated stochastic agents into cooperative, inspectable, improvable artificial colleagues. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Says check doc-test alignment
- Do the docs still match the code
Example prompts
- “check doc-test alignment”
- “verify docs”
- “do the docs still match the code”
- “/doc-test-alignment”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d5b5715. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Doc Test Alignment loads about 673 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 325 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from agentculture/culture at commit d5b5715, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© agentculture). 325 words, ~673 tokens.

- description
- Verify that committed docs (README.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md descriptions) still describe what the code and tests actually do. Use at the end of a plan, before PR creation, or when the user says "check doc-test alignment", "verify docs", or "do the docs still match the code". STUB — `scripts/check.sh` exits with a not-yet-implemented error today; the contract for what it will do lives in this file.
doc-test-alignment (stub)
This skill is a stub. The real workflow is intentionally not yet implemented —
the file exists so that steward verify can find it and so contributors who
land here know it is on the roadmap, not forgotten.
How to run
scripts/check.sh is the entry point. Today it prints a not-yet-implemented
notice and exits non-zero. When the workflow lands, the script will gate
PR-readiness on the alignment contract below; until then, treat any green
exit code from this script as a bug.
What it will check
The skill is the contract for four narrow alignments. README.md command
examples must still execute against the current checkout and produce output
that matches the surrounding prose. The "build/test/publish" command lines in
CLAUDE.md must do the same. For each .claude/skills/<name>/, the SKILL.md
description frontmatter must agree with what the scripts under
scripts/ actually do — surfacing disagreements (e.g. SKILL.md claims the
skill bumps versions but scripts/ has no bump script). And for each test,
the test name should still describe the assertions the test makes — flagging
drift where the name advertises a feature the assertions no longer touch.
Why it ships as a stub
Each of those four checks is independently non-trivial. Shipping a partial
implementation would either silently pass when it shouldn't, or false-positive
on intentional doc-vs-code differences. The right path is to land the checks
one at a time, with their own tests, behind a
steward verify --check doc-test-alignment flag. The parent verbs (verify,
doctor) are named in the "Roadmap" section of CLAUDE.md; the broader
sibling-pattern contract lives in docs/sibling-pattern.md.
What this stub guarantees today
- The skill directory exists, so
steward verify's skills-convention check finds the standard layout (SKILL.md +scripts/with an entry-point). scripts/check.shis the entry-point script, satisfying the AgentCulture skills convention requirement that every skill ships an executable script.- This
SKILL.mdis the contract for what the skill will do — when the implementation lands, it must satisfy this description or the description must move first.
