What it does
Recommendation Letter Helper is an agent skill from Bubble252/offer-harvester. Prepare evidence-grounded recommendation requests, recommender material packets, and clearly labeled reference drafts for graduate applications. Use when organizing achievements, requesting a recommendation, or helping a recommender revise a draft.
Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/contract.md`).
The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Organizing achievements
- Requesting a recommendation
- Helping a recommender revise a draft
Example prompts
- “/recommendation-letter-helper”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the recommender, intended program, deadline, and supplied student evidence.
- Separate a request email, evidence packet, and recommender-perspective reference draft.
- Link every achievement to a source and flag unconfirmed or rejected profile fields.
- Run material review and EvidenceAudit before presenting the candidate.
- Label recommender-perspective text as reference-only; the recommender must rewrite, approve, and submit it.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c640922. 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
Recommendation Letter Helper loads about 283 tokens when it runs, and up to ~382 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 98 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.
