About this skill

“Documentation templates for ADRs, runbooks, architecture docs, and knowledge transfer documents. Use when creating Architecture Decision Records, writing operational runbooks, documenting system architecture, or creating technical specifications. Do NOT use for code implementation or ticket management.”

— description from SKILL.md by bybren-llc

Technical Documentation Templates is a skill in bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow (421 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, with 3 other files in the folder (scripts, references, assets). Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26ca58b. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

Technical Documentation Templates loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
