At a glance

Keeps a TSV decision log for long or unattended agent runs, one row per decision with what, why, evidence and result, so a reviewer can check the work later.

  • Running a long autonomous task that someone will review afterward
  • SKILL.md covers The format, Logging a row, Where it lives and Rules, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder
  • Recording why each step of a multi-phase migration was taken

What it does

One canonical log is kept as a single TSV file, with one row per decision and every cell on a single line. The columns are an ISO 8601 timestamp, the phase or workstream, the decision, the reason in plain words, evidence as a link or path such as a commit, PR number, file and line or screenshot, and the result, for example tests green, reverted or open.

A bundled helper, scripts/log.sh, takes the log file, phase, decision, reason, evidence and result, stamps the time, writes the header on first use, strips stray tabs and newlines, and prefixes cells that begin with =, +, - or @ with a quote so spreadsheets do not read them as formulas. A template file holds the header row for starting a clean log.

Rows should read like telling a teammate what happened, in plain words without AI jargon. The agent logs decision points and checkpoints rather than every action: a fork chosen, a unit finished with its check, a pivot or revert and its trigger, a blocker, or one row per loop iteration. The log stays local unless a reviewer needs it, and then it can be committed.

When your agent uses it

  • Running a long autonomous task that someone will review afterward
  • Recording why each step of a multi-phase migration was taken
  • Leaving evidence for a reviewer after stepping away

Example prompts

  • “Start a decision log for this overnight refactor and add a row for each phase.”
  • “Run /show-me-your-work for the dependency upgrade.”
  • “Commit the decision log so the reviewer can see how we got to this result.”

Requirements

  • A shell that can run scripts/log.sh

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ccb5507. 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/ (Shell), 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

Show Me Your Work Decision Log loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 861 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 861 words (~1,605 tokens).
