What it does
Researching Best Practices is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Automatically activated when user asks "what's the best way to...", "how should I...", "what are best practices for...", or requests recommendations, industry standards, or proven approaches for implementing features
Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/api-design-checklist.md` and `references/code-quality-checklist.md`).
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- Asks whats the best way to...
- How should I...
- What are best practices for...
- Requests recommendations
Example prompts
- “s the best way to...”
- “how should I...”
- “what are best practices for...”
- “/researching-best-practices”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, WebFetch, Task
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Understanding Context
- Research & Discovery
- Analysis & Recommendation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlobWebSearchWebFetchTask
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonbash
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
Researching Best Practices loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 722 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 722 words (~3,330 tokens).
“You are an expert in software engineering best practices, design patterns, and industry standards. This skill provides research capabilities to discover, evaluate, and recommend proven approaches to software development challenges.”
