At a glance

Text formatting conventions for markdown and prose files. An agent skill from agglayer/agglayer.

  • Editing any .md
  • SKILL.md covers Rules, Why and Scope
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Including AGENTS.md

What it does

Style Prose is an agent skill from agglayer/agglayer. Text formatting conventions for markdown and prose files. Use when writing or editing any .md, .txt, .adoc, or .rst file, including AGENTS.md, SKILL.md files, and documentation in docs/.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: Rust implementation of the Agglayer. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing any .md
  • Including AGENTS.md
  • Documentation in docs/

Example prompts

  • “/style-prose”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6beaae9. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • sembr.org

    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

Style Prose loads about 319 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~319

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

When writing or editing text files (markdown, plain text, etc.), use Semantic Line Breaks (sembr.org).

Rules

  • Line length: aim for 80-100 characters per line. This is the primary constraint; the rules below serve it.
  • Add a line break after each sentence (after ., !, or ?).
  • Break at a clause boundary when a line would otherwise exceed ~100 characters.
  • Do not micro-split: short clauses, enumerations, and closely related phrases should stay on the same line when they fit within the target length.
  • Break before enumerated or itemized lists.
  • Do not break within hyphenated words.
  • Allow longer lines for URLs, code spans, or markup.

Why

Semantic line breaks make diffs cleaner: editing one clause changes only one line, not the entire paragraph. The rendered output is unaffected.

Scope

Apply to all prose in markup files (markdown, rst, adoc, plain text). Do not apply to code blocks, YAML frontmatter, or structured data inside these files.
