Workflow steps

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

1. 1Does it use with showModal()`?
2. 2Does focus land appropriately per the scenario-based rules (least destructive for confirmations, heading for complex content, first…
3. 3Is focus trapped inside (for modal dialogs)?
4. 4Does Escape close it?
5. 5Does focus return to the trigger on close?
6. 6Is there a heading at H2 or lower?
7. 7Does aria-labelledby point to a valid heading ID?
8. 8Does the trigger have aria-haspopup="dialog"?
9. 9Is aria-modal="true" present on modal dialogs?
10. 10Is aria-describedby used only for short plain-text descriptions (not complex structured content)?
11. 11Is there a visible close button?
12. 12For alert dialogs: does focus land on the least destructive action?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit decf6ba. 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 html).

  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

Modal Specialist loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 591 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~23

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.4k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.1k

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

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.
