At a glance

A skill your agent uses when writing any explanation, documentation, or response that will be read by someone else.

  • Writing any explanation
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Response that will be read by someone else

What it does

Audience Aware Communication is an agent skill from aiming-lab/MetaClaw. Use this skill when writing any explanation, documentation, or response that will be read by someone else. Match vocabulary, depth, and format to the audience's expertise level before writing.

Its SKILL.md is about 230 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 AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: 🦞 Just talk to your agent — it learns and EVOLVES 🧬. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing any explanation
  • Response that will be read by someone else

Example prompts

  • “/audience-aware-communication”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 922caf3. 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

    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

Audience Aware Communication loads about 227 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 87 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~227

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.

Audience-Aware Communication

Before writing, consider who will read this.

Questions to ask:

  • Expert or beginner? Use jargon only if the audience knows it.
  • Needs to act or just understand? Action-oriented writing uses imperative mood.
  • Reading for reference or scanning? Use headers, bullets, and code blocks.

Adaptation rules:

  • Beginners: define terms, use analogies, avoid acronyms.
  • Experts: skip basics, link to references, focus on the non-obvious.
  • Mixed audience: lead with the executive summary, put details in sections.

Anti-pattern: Writing at your own knowledge level without adjusting for the reader.
