Example prompts
- “/simple-history-voice”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Write the draft following the voice and text-type rules below.
- Run it through humanizer in embedded mode (return only the final text). For blog posts and newsletters, give it a sample of Pär's writing…
- Check the result against the banned words in code.md → "Writing Prose".
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24f337f. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
simple-history.com
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
Simple History Voice loads about 775 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 411 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 411 words (~775 tokens).
“Text for Simple History should read like Pär wrote it, not an AI. This skill covers what is specific to this project. The general AI tells (not-X-but-Y, one-line closers, triads, dashes, inflated claims, sales words) live in the humanizer skill…”
