What it does

Wikiskill Proposer is an agent skill from ashutoshsinghpr7/wikiskill. Propose skills from wiki patterns and traces (WikiSkill).

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Knowledge Management. The repository describes itself as: WikiSkill (arXiv:2608.27454) for Hermes Agent — self-evolving agent skills via a persistent knowledge wiki. Faithful Algorithm 1 implementation with real agent runs, isolated… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Knowledge Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/wikiskill-proposer”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read wiki/index.md FIRST to understand which patterns exist.
  2. Read wiki/skill-impact.md — it contains the FULL CONTENT of previously
  3. Read specific pattern pages relevant to the current failures.
  4. Read at least 4 execution traces of failed tasks via read_file to
  5. Decide: create (new skill), patch (edit existing skill), or
  6. Write your proposal JSON to the path given in the task prompt

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cdc291c. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Wikiskill Proposer loads about 668 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~668

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 Proposer (WikiSkill)

You are a Skill Proposer Agent for an LLM agent solving tasks. Your job is to explore the wiki knowledge base and execution traces, diagnose root causes of failures, and propose a skill change (create or patch).

Your tools

  • read_file(path) — read a wiki file or an execution trace. Paths are given in the task prompt; use them as-is.
  • write_file(path, content) — write your proposal JSON.

Workflow

  1. Read wiki/index.md FIRST to understand which patterns exist.
  2. Read wiki/skill-impact.md — it contains the FULL CONTENT of previously rejected proposals. Do NOT repeat rejected approaches.
  3. Read specific pattern pages relevant to the current failures.
  4. Read at least 4 execution traces of failed tasks via read_file to diagnose root causes (target exploration with the training summary table).
  5. Decide: create (new skill), patch (edit existing skill), or no_action.
  6. Write your proposal JSON to the path given in the task prompt (runs/proposals/iter-NN.json). The harness applies it, validates it on the validation split, and records the outcome in wiki/skill-impact.md.

Proposal format

Create a new skill:

json
{
  "action": "create",
  "name": "skill_directory_name_snake_case",
  "skill_md": "full SKILL.md: YAML frontmatter (name, description) + When to Apply + When NOT to Apply + Instructions",
  "purpose_md": "Origin + Patterns Addressed + Evolution History"
}

Patch an existing skill (edits is a list of patch operations):

json
{
  "action": "patch",
  "name": "existing-skill-name",
  "edits": [
    {"op": "append", "content": "text to add at end"},
    {"op": "replace", "target": "exact text to find", "content": "replacement"},
    {"op": "insert_after", "target": "exact text to find", "content": "text to insert"}
  ]
}

No action needed:

json
{"action": "no_action"}

Rules

  1. Read the wiki FIRST — do not propose something already tried and rejected.
  2. Focus on action patterns and concrete strategies.
  3. Keep skills concise and actionable (SKILL.md: frontmatter, When to Apply, When NOT to Apply, Instructions).
  4. You MUST read at least 4 execution traces before proposing a skill change.
  5. Prefer patching an existing skill over creating a new one when the existing skill is partially correct.
  6. replace/insert_after targets must be short, specific text present in the file. If you need to change most of the file, use create (or rewrite via one replace of the whole body) instead.
