What it does

Oblivion Dialog System is an agent skill from bryantmh/tes4skyrim. Pure reference for how Oblivion's (TES4) dialogue, voice, and quest systems work — every record type (DIAL, INFO, QUST, IDLE, PACK), its binary layout, field meanings, enums, the condition (CTDA) system, the topic-type and add-topic model, result scripts, and a checklist of everything required for dialogue to fire in-engine. Use when authoring, reading, or debugging Oblivion dialogue/quest/voice records, when reasoning about how a topic reaches an NPC, or when you need the exact structure of any of these records…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/checklist.md`, `references/conditions.md` and `references/records.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Complete and automated Gamebryo to TES5 plugin and asset conversion.

When your agent uses it

  • Debugging Oblivion dialogue/quest/voice records
  • Reasoning about how a topic reaches an NPC
  • You need the exact structure of any of these records

Example prompts

  • “/oblivion-dialog-system”

Workflow steps

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

  1. xEdit Core record definitions — references/xEdit/Core/wbDefinitionsTES4.pas
  2. Real Oblivion.esm data — export/Oblivion.esm/ (a pure KEY=VALUE dump of

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82c7073. 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

Oblivion Dialog System loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 158 tokens; SKILL.md has 911 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~158
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.8k

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 911 words (~2,248 tokens).

“This skill is a pure reference for how vanilla Oblivion (TES4) routes dialogue. It describes only how the game itself works — it deliberately contains no conversion or import logic.”
