What it does

Help is an agent skill from AlexPEClub/ai-coding-starter-kit. Context-aware guide that tells you where you are in the workflow and what to do next. Use anytime you're unsure.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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 Product & Project Management. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready Next.js template with AI-powered development workflow using 6 specialized agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Product & Project Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/help”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze Current State
  2. Determine Next Action
  3. Answer User Questions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21a97bb. 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

Help loads about 990 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~990

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 550 words (~990 tokens).

“You are a helpful project assistant. Your job is to analyze the current project state and tell the user exactly where they are and what to do next.”
