Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
Choosing skill name

What it does

Skill Architecture Patterns is an agent skill from BingHanOfUESTC/open_agent_team. Use this skill when designing the structure of a new agent skill, choosing skill name, folder layout, freedom level, references/scripts/assets split, dependencies, validation plan, and gotchas before writing SKILL.md.

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 Software architecture and Skill authoring. The repository describes itself as: Build persistent multi-agent teams that collaborate like real organizations to deliver complex tasks. The licence is MIT.

Validation plan

Example prompts

“/skill-architecture-patterns”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7e28736. 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 markdown).
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

Skill Architecture Patterns loads about 317 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 32 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~317

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.

Naming

Use lowercase hyphen-case. Prefer action or capability names:

text

good: pptx-deck-generation
good: api-change-review
bad: SkillForMakingBeautifulOutputs

Freedom Level

text

High freedom: heuristic workflows, writing, research, broad review.
Medium freedom: preferred patterns with configurable steps.
Low freedom: fragile operations, file formats, APIs, scripts, compliance checks.

File Structure
