What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a8a74a4. 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

Honk Change loads about 558 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 318 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~558

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.

description
Use for any honk change to plan, review, verify and prepare the PR.

Read first: AGENTS.md and the rules files its Task routing table names for the contracts touched.

Steps

  1. Plan first, in a file or draft PR text. Name the failing input and the line producing it at origin/main, with its SHA. Write one imperative sentence per commit and say what is deliberately left alone. Tests: AGENTS.md, "Testing instructions". For a non-behavioural change (docs, workflow, extraction), say why reproduction and hunk ablation do not apply. Name the substitute check: byte comparison, link check or workflow stub.
  2. Inventory the impact of each contract touched: users in other crates, tests and benches that construct it directly, CI workflows that run them, pages in doc/en/ and doc/zh/, and any second implementation. Mark each changed, checked unaffected or left as a finding. If the change reaches another module, change that module rather than leaving a shim.
  3. Have a second mind review the plan before code.
  4. One commit per step: AGENTS.md, "Code style guidelines".
  5. Verification and reporting: AGENTS.md, "Testing instructions" and "Current validation guidance". For input-to-structure code, also compare a fixed input set before and after. List every changed output and its reason.
  6. Have a reader who has not seen the plan read the diff and write what a user would experience differently.
  7. PR text: AGENTS.md, "Code style guidelines" (PR bodies).
  8. Batch same-theme few-line fixes in one PR with one commit each. Put edge findings in the rolling tracker issue and serious reproducible defects in their own issues.

Checklist

  • Plan records the input, source revision, commits, exclusions and applicable check.
  • Impact inventory gives every consumer a disposition.
  • A second mind reviewed the plan before code.
  • Commit steps follow "Code style guidelines".
  • Verification follows the named root sections; input-to-structure comparisons account for changed outputs.
  • A reader without the plan described the diff's user-visible effects.
  • PR text follows "Code style guidelines".
  • Fixes and findings are batched by step 8.
