What it does

Remind is an agent skill from davidondrej/skills. Rewrite the last response simpler and shorter in plain English, prefixed with a 3-5 sentence TLDR of the conversation so far. Manual-only, invoked as /remind.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules and Summarization. The repository describes itself as: access to david ondrej's personal agent skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Plain language and style rules
  • Tasks that involve Summarization

Example prompts

  • “/remind”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7874889. 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

Remind loads about 266 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~266

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.

Rewrite your last response to make it simpler, shorter, and wrritten in Plain English.

Also, start with a short one-paragraph summary in plain English of the topic/problem of this conversation, just give me the 80/20 of the most important context (what we are doing, why we are doing it, what we already did, and what's next)

But make this paragraph very clear & easy to understand, literally 3-5 sentences max. THE PARAGRAPH SHOULD BE VERY CONCISE.

MAKE SURE to always repeat the very first user prompt in this conversation, reminding the user of the very first user message in this chat, so they are aware how the entire converastion started.

Below the "tldr" paragraph, output your previous response, but make the whole thing simpler and shorter than before, formatted in nice readable markdown. be concise.
