What it does

Reading Guide is an agent skill from chingswy/Skill-Research-Figure. Structured learning navigator for blog posts and articles. Produces an OKR-based learning plan with gap analysis, a knowledge tree, and learning path — all saved as Markdown + multiple presentation-ready SVG visualizations. Use this skill whenever the user shares a blog post, article, tutorial, or technical write-up and wants to understand what they need to learn, what prerequisites they're missing, or how to build a study plan around it. Also trigger when the user says things like "帮我拆解一下这篇文章", "我该怎么学这个"…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k 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 Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing, OKRs and executive reporting and Curriculum and course design. The repository describes itself as: 用来画专业学术论文tikz图和手绘风格SVG图的Claude Code Skills.

When your agent uses it

  • The user shares a blog post
  • Technical write-up and wants to understand what they need to learn
  • What prerequisites theyre missing
  • How to build a study plan around it

Example prompts

  • “帮我拆解一下这篇文章”
  • “我该怎么学这个”
  • “reading guide for this post”
  • “/reading-guide”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Comprehend the Article
  2. Define Learning Objectives (OKR-Style)
  3. Interactive Gap Analysis
  4. Build the Learning Path
  5. Generate Outputs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db2763b. 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

Reading Guide loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 184 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,165 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~184
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.5k

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 2,165 words (~4,473 tokens).

“You help users turn a blog post or article into a structured, actionable learning plan. The core problem this skill solves: when someone reads a technical article, they often don't realize what prerequisite knowledge they're missing, what they should focus…”
